Bitten by the travel bug!
In 2015, at the age of 58, I embarked on my first international journey from the US to Europe. Over three enriching weeks, I explored four countries, visited eight captivating locations, and reveled in numerous spectacular experiences.
That initial encounter with the world beyond my own backyard was more than a brush with the travel bug—it was a complete infestation, penetrating my body, soul, and spirit. After spending nearly six decades wrapped in the comfort of my familiar surroundings, this first adventure ignited a newfound passion and opened up a future brimming with awe and curiosity about all the wonders this world has to offer.
Thus began my deep-seated infatuation and love for travel, swiftly progressing to a level of comfort where international solo journeys became a regular part of my adventures.
My intent for this blog is to encourage and inspire you, with insights, tricks, tips, personal stories, beneficial resources… and the best budget travel advice I've gathered and practiced over the past ten years. As I transition into the next stage of life - a semi-retirement and semi-nomadic lifestyle - I want to bring you along on the journey.
The clock is ticking… go see the world!
