Money

How to get money to travel and how to afford travel. All of the posts below relate to making travel affordable. There are ideas on frugal living and saving for travel, prioritising travel, budget travel, and how we earn an income as we travel, through blogging.

Of course, all travel isn’t budget, but if you choose to travel on limited funds, we can help you make travel as affordable as possible. We also travel at the luxury end from time to time and even then, we’ll hunt down the best and most cost-effective deals
