Budget Travel
We have been traveling around the world for the past 6 years with an average budget of 10US$ per day per person. We believe ourselves to be quite knowledgeable on the budget travel subject.
In 2019, we decided to create this blog to share with our readers these years of experience on the road. Our goal is to help you to empower you to go out of your comfort zone and to help you to travel in an alternative way.
We have been hitchhiking a combined total of more than 100.000 kilometers, before our kids were born. We are happy to share everything we know on this matter!
