So what is the purpose of my travel site?

Simply, I want to inspire my readers that traveling can be done regardless of your current status.  You don't have to be rich or have a lot of money to travel. I am not rich, nor did I inherit any type of money.  AND no, I didn't win the lottery (wouldn't that be nice if anyone did though?) as my other friends on Facebook would say, since they would be surprised to see the travel pictures that I post there on either my Facebook cover or on my timeline. I find it funny, when people would ask or say how do I have a lot of money, when in reality, I am just like any middle class person making ends meet by working a 9-5 job. At the moment, I am not working though, because I am home taking care of my son, who is currently in his toddler years! (Let me tell you, the simple answer to get to your dream vacation, is being a good saver! Save, save save... even if it's not a hundred dollars a month, save 50 bucks a month for that adds up!)

A little background about me...

I have been traveling since 2001, and all I could remember was my first initial vacation I took was with my cool mom.  It all started when I saw a travel brochure at a dentist office and I was browsing through the pages and saw some affordable travel deals on Hawaii.  I was then thinking to myself, wow! I would like to go there someday - where I could relax, listen to the waves of the ocean, while drinking a Blue Hawaiian, take some time for myself and enjoy nature at its finest. Then that's when I asked my mom to see if she was willing to go on a vacation with me.  I was surprised when she said yes, and from there on, we decided to take that first Hawaiian vacation to the island of Oahu.  I still have that picture too. 

Once we went on that first Hawaiian vacation, the travel bug didn't stop there.  I started dreaming about going on to more destinations. All my "what if" doubts and questions, became a reality and I motivated myself to save money so I can go to more places. Then after that trip to Hawaii, I had the urge to see Europe - such as France, Italy and the United Kingdom, and of course my mom was my travel partner, so we went for that Europe trip as well! It was some of the most memorable experiences in my life and I have those photos to prove that!  

The lust for traveling doesn't stop, it's like an addiction... you crave for it and you just want to keep exploring more and more, to basically see what's out there, how people are like in other parts of the world, what kind of food they have and the culture each country has for me is very fascinating. But then again, money plays a big and important factor when you want or plan to travel. Believe me, I know it - as I saved my butt off for years and years to get to the countries I have been wanting to go to!  (Literally, not buying all the fashionable and name brand clothing, shoes and so forth)  Bottom line, my mindset was on saving that money for the next travel vacation and somehow, I did it. YOU can too! 

​

This is where and why I created this site.  My life goals is to inspire others and offer tips and travel resources that you may find helpful, when you plan on traveling. The travel resources I have here are some of the many ways I planned out my vacation and how they helped me save some money as well.  Let's just say, some of these information had made my traveling life easier and convenient in ways that one could possibly imagine!  You may or may not take my travel advice and tips, and that's entirely up to YOU - no hard feelings, seriously! Everything that is on my site as you are reading it, is based upon my past experiences, some travel hacks that I got from other fellow travelers/bloggers as well, and it is up to you, to use them for your own travel needs. I just hope you find them helpful in some way or another.  I have collected some of these resources for my benefit so I can always go back to them, in case if I'm trying to find a travel deal or even anything travel related. Now, I'm sharing it with you. Why not? Sharing is caring! :) 

​

Honestly, I would LOVE for EVERYONE to travel, if they are able to.  Trust me on this one, it is very life changing in so many ways and can even change how a person thinks in so many aspects. I believe that life is short, so why not enjoy it! You can definitely do that when you travel.  There is so much to see out there and so much things to experience.  Although, I do respect that there are people out there who aren't into traveling and into other things - and that's fine too.  But why not, give traveling a shot? Maybe you will like it, who knows? Again, I am not here to persuade or force you to do things, but just here to share some of my traveling experiences and tips on how to make traveling life easier and much more convenient.
