If you thought world travel was only for rich folks — buckle up!

When I first started traveling the world, I was a single mom living on a poverty-level income. Now I’ve been to more than 40 countries in 20 years — including seven years as a digital nomad. If I can do it, you can do it!

I hope I can inspire you and teach you everything you need to know to make the world your playground. Here’s what I have on this site:

• Budget Travel Academy: Free tips and advice on budget travel
• Nomad Life: Advice for people who are (or want to become) digital nomads
• Indie Adventures: Maybe you’d like to join me for a small group trip?

South of France by Train

Two Groups:

• Women Only

We’ll start in the French Riviera and make our way down the French coast by train, with stops along the way to stroll charming villages, check out Roman ruins, and learn about Côtes du Rhône wines.

Our trip will end in Barcelona, where you can either fly home or spend a few days on your own!
