The Ultimate Guide to Cheap Travel

The Ultimate Guide to Cheap Travel

I get asked all the time how I can afford to travel. Truth is, I wouldn’t be able to if I weren’t incredibly budget conscious. My adventures consist of self-guided tours rather than margaritas at a sea-side resort, but that doesn’t mean they’re not just as great! In fact, I feel as though I get to experience a new city that much more because of it.

Meant to help me keep track of the fun things I want to accomplish in life, and maybe provide you some inspiration for your own list.

A Weekend Aboard Mariner of the Seas

My first cruise ever was in high school, as part of my best friend’s annual family reunion. They had plans to sail to Nassau, Bahamas and because I was more or less part of the family, they let me come with. I’ve always remembered that trip fondly, so when Royal Caribbean reached out to me about sailing on their newly-renovated Mariner of the Seas, I was so excited.
