I’m Not Rich, I Just Travel Cheap!

I’m Not Rich, I Just Travel Cheap!

Everyone thinks solo travel is expensive.
Everyone also thinks I’m rich.

Spoiler: I’m not.

I worked my ass off for years and then learned how to travel cheap without hating my life. No fancy hotels, no aesthetic brunches, no “Eat Pray Love” nonsense. Just hostels, street food, volunteering, questionable dinners made of cookies and instant noodles, and a very honest look at what budget travel actually means.

In this episode I talk about how I afford long-term solo travel, why hostels are underrated, why traveling is not the same as vacation, how volunteering is basically a legal cheat code, and why my bank is probably richer than me at this point.

This is not a guide for luxury travel.
This is for people who want freedom, stories, chaos and to stay on the road as long as possible.
