I spent years traveling solo on a budget, and now I explore the world with my wife, proving that awesome travel experiences don’t have to break the bank.

In The Wandercents, I share budget-friendly travel guides, packing advice, and insider hacks to help you travel more for less—whether you’re a solo traveler, couple, or just someone who loves a good deal. Ready to start planning your next adventure? Let’s go!
