When I decided to travel across Canada in 2013, I knew was going to have to dig somewhat deeply into my pockets to finance the trip.

This past weekend was huge in the boxing world, as Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather finally came face-to-face inside the ring at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Well, the fight ended up being… More 16 ways you could’ve spent $100 (or less) on travel instead of ‘The Fight of the Century’
Minimizing travel costs is always a challenge. From airfare to accommodations, and even food, #TheStruggleIsReal when it comes to innovating ways to spend as little as possible. Perhaps pre-trip expenses, which I haven’t seen a lot of discussion about (compared to other topics), deserve some consideration! 😀 For this post, I swung by two dollar stores to… More 16 travel essentials you can find at dollar stores
If you work full time in America but love to travel (like me at the moment), it’s important to be selective and strategic about satisfying wanderlust.

If you’re wondering what the heck a credit union is, I’ll explain that briefly in… More Credit unions: 3 ways they help minimize traveling expenses

Over the weekend, complete strangers walked up to me, ruffled my hair, and wiped their hands on my face and neck. I know. It sounds weird, and it actually kind of was at first.

A festival that will positively color your mood
When I’m out and about, there is one thing I can never, ever help but do 99 percent of the time: if there’s something aesthetically pleasing, I will take a picture of it. It doesn’t matter if it’s a plate of garlic fries, a breathtaking mountain, a romantically lit hotel room or a dog with… More 4 ways to balance maintaining an online presence and living in the moment
I’m not fond of shopping for clothes. It costs money (that could be saved for traveling) and it’s tiring, so I hardly shop when I’m home. (I’ve also calculated that if you spend $10 to $20 a week on clothes, that’s $520 to $1040 a year, which is enough for a few plane tickets!) But… More How to haggle at Greenhills Shopping Center
