How to make monthly payments on your next trip WITHOUT using a travel agent... AND raise your credit

So the information I'm about to share is for my fellow travelers looking for affordable ways to travel without paying a travel agent.

The Good, the bad and the ugly part of my visit to China

Let me just start by saying this... I had no idea what to expect from China. I mean, it's not everyday you see people flocking there for fancy tourist retreats and luxurious vacations. Other than the iconic Great Wall, I don't really know a whole lot about China other than the fact that it's a communist country and they have a hand at manufacturing a lot of our (USA) products and materials. Outside of that, I was clueless as to what exactly the country (Beijing in particular)

A week in Cancun for less than $600!

Yes, you read the title right. I spent a week in Cancun for less than $600. That included round trip, non stop airfare from LAX, and 6 nights in an all inclusive hotel in downtown Cancun! Sounds impossible, I know- but I did it, and I'm going to tell you how you can do it too.... You ready? First and foremost, what I did (and what I recommend you do too) is set a budget. I came up with exactly how much I wanted to spend for this trip. My initial budget was only $500. I didn't

The 32 most memorable experiences about my European Vacation...part 4 (#16-20)

Hey guys!! So, I've been just a bit busy since returning from my trip, but slowly, but as my mind begins to unwind, I'm able to remember small details that happened during my trip. Some things I jotted down in my phone, and other things just come back to me all of a sudden. These memories can be triggered by certain smells, foods, or even people. I try to recreate all of my memories and describe them in as much detail as possible. I want to be as informative as I can be with

The 32 most memorable experiences about my European Vacation...part 3 (#11-15)

Hey guys, so it's been about 3 weeks since my last blog installment. As you all can probably imagine, being back home is such a great place to be. I've been able to rest, relax, catch up on what's been going on here, and let the "travel mode" fade off. And now that I've gotten those things out of the way, let's continue on with these memories.... #11. Being a semi-adventurous person, one of the highlights on my vacation was the adventure. Not knowing where I would go, who I w

The 32 most memorable experiences about my European vacation... part 2 (#6-10)

Hey guys- so it's been a couple of days since the first installment of my most memorable experiences of my European vacation, but without further ado-- here are #6-10! Happy reading!! #6. So another one of the things that I enjoyed about being in Europe was how easily accessible it was to get around to so many different countries. There were buses, trains, flights, and even car pooling. While train travel is typically the most popular and easiest way to see the country sides,

The 32 most memorable experiences about my European vacation! (#1-5)

As promised, I've created this blog to share my most memorable experiences while on my 32 day European vacation. For starters, I actually decided to cut my trip short by 2 days due to unforeseen weather circumstances in Iceland. No biggie- 30 days was more than enough time for me to enjoy myself and see lots of new places. So, I'll get right into it.... #1. One of my most memorable experiences was in Barcelona, Spain. I arrived bright eyed and bushy tailed and eager for the d

How $1,500 has helped me travel the world!

So, as we all know- having a budget is the best way to plan a vacation without over spending. A budget is required for just about everything in life, and traveling is no exception. Whenever I travel, I always set my budget for $1,500. It doesn't matter where I'm going or how long I'll be there. $1,500 is my MAX budget. What type of vacation could I possibly get for $1,500? Well- where do I start? I went to Egypt on a round trip flight from LAX, and stayed for a week for under

7 islands, 2 states, 1 seven day cruise, and 4 flights for $1,100.

This spring I managed to treat myself to one of the best vacations I've ever taken. I went to 7 islands, and to the wonderfully busy state of New York, within a 13 day time span, all courtesy of Carnival Cruise Lines. As I searched for the perfect beginning of summer vacation, I went to my trusted cruise liner Carnival and found an amazing escape. A 7 day, all inclusive cruise to St. Thomas, Barbados, St. Lucia, St. Kitts, and St. Maarten by way of San Juan, Puerto Rico. Yes,

My First Vacation out of the Country

My first vacation out of the country was AMAZING! Not only was it was my first time away from familiarity, it was also my first time on a cruise ship. I didn't know what to expect- but I'm happy that I was open to expecting the unexpected... And did I mention I was alone!? Yes, by myself, away from home, in a different country. The experience was better than anything I could've imaged it to be. For starters, it was all inclusive. That meant all the food, room service, and dri
