How to travel for $35 a day. Yes, it IS possible!

Mar 17, 2018

I know some of you must be thinking “that’s literally impossible” but I can attest to the fact that it’s totally do-able! I began writing this post in Costa Rica, a popular tourist destination which has prices to match. Prices there are the same as Europe, which is fine when you’re on a short trip […]

  • ✨Don't tell me the sky is the limit when there are footprints on the moon ✨ . That thing you keep thinking about before you go to sleep, where your mind wanders to when you're bored. It's your passion... your dream. And fulfilling it is a key to deep and meaningful happiness. Wether it's getting fit, writing a book, travelling, studying or starting a business - if you ever want to get there you need to start today! . Don't focus on the end result, that's a sure path to failure. Focus only on the task at hand today, one step at a time and you WILL get there. But you must dedicate at least 30 minutes towards your goal everyday! make it part of your routine and before you know it dreams will be reality. . . . . . #sunseeker #travelbug #wonderfulworld #adventureawaits #justgo #foreignaussie #yearlongholiday #instatravel #globalcitizen #globetrotter #triplife #roamearth #stressfree #journey #sheisnotlost #traveltips #authentictravel #instapassport #loveculture #adventureaddict #travelgram #glt #placestovisit #travelwise #livelikealocal #aussieabroad #wanderfree #girlsthatwander #memoriesnotthings
  • "The traveller sees what he sees. The tourist sees what they have come to see"... . This is so true! As travellers we see everything with new eyes, each place we visit alters our thinking a little bit more, opens us up. We become completely absorbed by new cultures, the tastes, the sounds, the smells, the people we meet and the experiences we have. We will never be the same and that's good because sheltered and close minded isn't. The tourist with his tour guide, transfers and plush hotels is no different upon his return home but the traveller will never be the same again. . . . . . #vitaminsea #wanderluster #globetrotters #travelwithme #traveltime #travelingtheworld #wokeupinparadise #foreignaussie #foreignandfree #yearoftravel #wildandfree #aussieabroad #gltlove #glt #triplife #beautifuldestination #letsgoeverywhere #jetsetter #travelmore #traveltips #travelinspo #beautifulworld #wanderful #liveyourdreams #roamearth #livethelifeyoulove #dreamchaser #tourtheplanet #travelquoteoftheday
  • And just like that we're in Ecuador! . I loved every minute of Colombia (almost) It's a truly beautiful country filled with warm, kind people who don't deserve what they've been through. It breaks my heart that such heartache, pain and suffering can be brought upon people who absolutely do not deserve it. I hope things continue to get better for them 💙 . . . . . #travelaholic #travelaway #travelgeneration #exploring_the_world #wanderfree #wandergirls #adventure_addict #liveyourstory #live_happy #live_life #getgoals #womenwhogrow #justdowhatyoulove #travelmore #globetattoo #globetrot #onceinalifetimething #roamtheplanet #roamoften #globetrotter #traveldeeper #foreignaussie #foreignandfree
  • "Be a pineapple. Stand tall, wear a crown and be sweet on the inside" @katgaskin . I love that quote! it's a perfect metaphor for how I strive to be. Proud of who I am and the way I'm put together (flaws and all) Tough, never letting anyone or any situation get the better of me. And all the while remaining kind, warm and compassionate. I might not always get it right but I do my best! . . . . . #beapineapple🍍 #pineapplesquad #standtallandproud #lovewhoyouare #bekindalways #brightcolour #foreignaussie #foreignandfree #travelteaches #trottingtheglobe #learningabroad #strivetobebetter #lovecolombia #glt #onlyliveonce #yearabroad #womenwhoexplore #adventureoften

  • { #realstagram } After an 18 hour bus ride on which the temperature was akin to that of Antartica and an intoxicated woman sat behind me playing what sounded like an accordion being tortured on her giant portable stereo, never mind the distinct lack of toilet paper and lunatic Colombian driving, I now feel compelled to be a little real about travel... . It ain't all sunshine and fruity cocktails! It's bloody tough sometimes. You've got to have thick skin to do this. You've got to be patient, resilient and open minded. You absolutely HAVE to be able to see the good in the bad, to laugh when things don't work out how you imagined (which is like all the time) and most of all you need to be accepting. It's not home after all, that's the whole point! . There's been days I've been completely sick of it, and on those days I've wanted to throw my backpack in the bin, go home, cuddle my dog, eat Mum's cooking and be consumed by familiarity. But the good news is that feeling never lingers long. And as the saying goes, you don't get the good without the bad. . On 'bad days' I've learnt to go to bed, get a good nights sleep and plan nothing for the next day. I wake up slowly reminding myself I'm not going to work! I'm on holiday, albeit an adventurous, testing one 😉 Then I make a coffee and relax all day. By the end of it I'm back on track, excited and grateful to be doing this. The experiences I'm having are shaping me into the best person I can possibly be and that makes it all worth it! . . . . .
