Hi Guys,

Totally appreciate this. Because even though I do house sitting and budget travel for the most part one of my biggest mistakes for years was cheaping out and suffering. Lesson learned the past few years. 3 months ago in Burma I got terribly ill on a winding bus ride. We considered buying plane tickets but cheaped out. 2 days later we ate the bus tickets from Inle Lake to Yangon, paid a few hundred for plane tickets, and flew in 45 minutes what would have taken 13 hours via bus.

Thanks for sharing 🙂

I love your point of view. It’s so easy to get caught up in the whole penny-pinching frenzy that you miss out on so many things or make your life so much more complicated. Thanks for this post. Sometimes it’s good to hear it from someone who’s also travelling on a budget and not just from people who are at home earning a lot of money 😉

Amen Sister! Having Gelato with my Gal-pals in Italy and sleeping in a great hostel in Australia or Hong Kong, despite the extra dollar, were GREAT ideas for me. They ended up being the beginning of some of my favorite memories (and my now- gelato limonatto addiction).

I’m finding that too as I travel around Europe – and at a lower cost than expected. But it’s allowed me to think about ‘value’ as well as ‘price’. One thing I’ve found that helps is, if something looks like an incredible, one-off opportunity then look at as an investment – in your life. Go for it. At the same time, money by itself has no value, and there isn’t much use in it just sitting there in your bank account.
