I started this blog to share my experiences, advice and tips that I’ve learned from over 12 years of traveling (mostly solo with my globetrotting gnome) on a budget. My goal is to dissolve all the fears and questions standing in the way of your next adventure with my location guides and travel advice on eSIM cards, travel insurance and more!
