One of my biggest motivators for paying off my debt was to be able to take trips and go on vacations. I am fortunate to have explored some incredible countries. I’ve sat on patios of white washed home in Santorini, drank wine in Tuscany, ate croissants in quaint Parisian shops, saw monkeys and crocodiles in Costa Rica, drank Pina Coladas… Read More
A few year ago I stumbled upon a picture of Havasupai. It was this beautiful blue waterfall with red rock canyon surrounding it. It looked like it was photoshopped. But the more I learned about Havasupai, the more I realized this place was legitimately bucket list worthy! So I hopped online 6 months in advance from when I wanted to… Read More

Around 7 years ago I wanted to go to Costa Rica. I grabbed my notebook, Pinterested so many places to see and planned an entire 7 day itinerary for Tony and I to use. But life happened and frankly, I was broke and unable to afford to travel. So I kinda put it on the back burner and didn’t think… Read More
One of the greatest perks of the debt free life is being able to spend your money on traveling instead of payments. Now, don’t get the wrong idea- I travel a lot, but I also keep my day-to-day living expenses super basic. For example, I don’t go out to eat, I spent $20 a month on coffee, and I really… Read More
I used to think international travel was for those who had a lot of money or did a lot of credit card hacking. Neither of which applied to me. Paying $1,500 for a flight alone does not fit into my life. (Especially at the frequency I prefer to travel.) If you follow this blog you know that credit card hacking is… Read More
On Friday, I just returned from my week long adventure in Italy. Aside from retro selfie-sticks and Roman traffic- it was amazing! When I was in 5th grade, I wrote a report on Venice and thought it was the coolest thing to have canals and no cars. It seemed like such a fictional place in my 5th grade mind that… Read More
You love travelling, exploring, and checking out amazing places, but you don’t think you can afford to travel. Sound familiar? I get it. I used to feel the exact same way until I made a subtle mindset shift. I found out that material items I was wasting my money on weren’t nearly as important as experiences. Going out to eat… Read More

The answer is…. it depends. If we were discussing your financial situation, I would ask you a few different questions: How… Read More
There are very few things I enjoy more than traveling and exploring. Over the past couple months I found myself complaining that my life was b-o-r-i-n-g. I wasn’t enjoying things as much as I used to, I was on the verge of burnout, and really needed to pause and reflect. So I thought about the things that make me happy. Traveling… Read More
