Budget Travel
🎼Out in the west, Texas town of Terlingua, I fell in love with a national park. 🎶 After 9 years of living in a state that’s famous for being so big you could drive half a day and still be in the same state, I still had not made it to Big Bend National Park. […]
In 2018, there were 22 million visitors to Washington D.C. – from the USA, alone! So, with that many people visiting, you know there’s plenty to see and do in the nation’s capital. While there’s no shortage of activities, there is a strain on time due to the incessant traffic. Thinking about visiting? Here’s a […]
If you’re headed for a weekend in St. Augustine, try some local and delish options while you’re in town. I can personally approve these as I sampled each and super enjoyed. Bon Appétit! Cone Head’s Ice Cream This delicious ice cream respite was across the street from my hotel and exactly halfway between me and […]
You might know my hometown of Atlanta, Georgia, USA from the 1996 Olympic Games that we hosted. That’s the same games where there was a bombing and gymnast Kerri Strug famously injured her ankle during a vault routine. Atlanta is also home to many famous hip-hop stars and major league teams such as Falcons, Braves, […]
Before going to Paris, I could only fantasize about the delicious food I’d get when I arrived. Now, I’m here to share a real world take on what the food is like and how to eat on a budget, for the most part. 😉 *French Tip: ordering in French is easier than you think. A key phrase […]
My favorite part of going to Iceland was taking the short ferry ride in Reykjavik over to the abandoned Viðey Island. Here, I got to walk all over this tiny piece of land only stone’s throw from downtown and do so in relative quiet. Only a handful of people can get on the ferry at […]
This month’s city of interest is Dhaka, Bangladesh. The capital city of Bangladesh is growing and modernizing quick! It’s easy to get lost in the chaos and forget about getting away sometimes. So, I’ve picked enough of a getaway that has a lot to offer but not too far from home. Bangkok, Thailand The cheapest […]

Inspired by a very good friend of mine in the Philippines, I’ve decided bring the travel to you! I enjoy traveling so much and from interactions across social media with you guys, I know you do, too. Well, in theory. I get a lot of responses to my travel posts that are enthusiastic but when […]

If you were here for last year’s A Year of Travel, you know that my goal has been to visit to a new place each time I hit the road. As a way to celebrate a completed year, I started looking for a way to showcase the new places I had been. I’ve always been […]
Estimated Cost: $120 2 adults, 1 night, entrance to the state park, dinner and lunch. While still in recovery from my broken leg, and continuing the monthly travel tradition, I was looking for somewhere to go where I would not have to do a great deal of hiking yet get some awesome views. A quick […]
For the past few years, I had longed to finally make the short journey from North Texas to McCurtain County, Oklahoma. The idea of cabin life was intriguing and I could use a unique getaway. So, if this sounds like a place you want to learn more about, be prepared to mark some days off […]
New year, new time to name a few things you want to change about yourself, i.e. lose weight, save money, etc. The photo above is part of me accomplishing my most memorable New Year Resolution – A Year of Travel! Now it’s time to make a new list. Unfortunately, it’s so easy to renege on this […]
I love giving gifts because I put so much thought into things. I don’t make a list, I go to places like World Market and walk around 10x to absorb what’s there. Then, I think about the people I’m buying for to see if there’s anything that fits. Not everyone has that kind of time […]
