I have never really gotten involved with various lounge access oriented credit or debit cards in the past but recently one was offered to me for just $5 a year and after looking at…

I've only been to this airport one time but it is something that will stick to me forever. When you go to some extremely poor country you kind of expect it to be bad but the thing…

This is a fear that people really should take very seriously. In my last article I told you about how my friend was a bit shell-shocked when a bedbug outbreak happened in his own…

A lot of people are very concerned about bedbugs when they travel and a lot of this is something that you actually should be very concerned about. While I have been fortunate enou…

Now here is something that is out of my wheelhouse for sure seeing as how I focus almost entirely on very affordable destinations that backpackers and people with almost any level …

I've been traveling on the cheap for over 20 years. This is an "OK boomer!" moment but honestly, the budget travel destinations are drying up and barely exist anymore. The days o…

...and it actually can be a great thing but there are certain things you have to look out for. Some islands claim that they didn't allow cars on the island in order to look after …

When I first started traveling I feel like backpacking was a lot more genuine than it is now. You got your pack, your ticket, and then you headed out into the great unknown with t…

Taxi apps are an absolutely wonderful part of the travel environment and makes travel around or even between cities much easier than it was back before smartphones existed. For th…

This story is one that eventually got resolved and I know a lot about it because it happened to someone I know extremely well because he's me. I was traveling around South East …

When I first started backpacking over 2 decades ago I remember reading a physical book about this because we didn't use the internet for just everything damn thing ever! at that p…

While I myself do not have a pet because of my transient lifestyle. I do know a couple of people that go all over the place with their dog. I questioned one of them recently abou…

When I first started traveling decades ago at the advisement of a friend who was an avid backpacker, I was, like many people, rather concerned with how safe these destinations are.…

Recently, I was faced with finally replacing my luggage. I've been traveling and living primarily outside of my home country and well, I have almost zero regrets about this. Whe…

This story didn't happen to me, so some of the details are going to be a bit dodgy but the person that it did happen to is someone that I have known for a long time and they stood …

This isn't going to apply to people that have traditional careers and only get a couple of weeks off per year. Those folks are kind of forced to be subjected to the inflated price…

If you are traveling on the cheap like I have been doing for the past 25 years or so, you are probably going to be subjected to some pretty dreadful travel situations. Minivans a…

Business class is well out of the reach for most people including me. I always kind of look at the various price differences and think to myself that it is just insane that people…

This has almost always been the case in the United States and that in my mind is a damn shame. The USA has one of the most extensive rail systems in the world but almost none of i…
