Hi there! I’m Katie, a teacher and adventure seeker living in Ohio. From the time that I took my first trip to France at the age of 15 I was enthralled with experiencing new cultures. I also have a problem with relaxing, in that I can’t do it, I always want to be doing something, checking out somewhere new, or trying a new experience. Having an adventure doesn’t mean you have to go far, you can also find something thrilling in your own neighborhood.

However, as much I want to do it all, I have two problems: I’m not the best planner, and I have a serious budget. Sound like you? Allow me to give you some inspiration for your next trip, with ideas to help you with traveling inexpensively, or at the very least give you some good stories and pictures from my trips.

“Traveling isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memories, on your consciousness, on your heart and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind.”

-Anthony Bourdain
