Don’t gain the world and lose your soul, wisdom is better than silver or gold – Bob Marley
When it comes to traveling, I have learned several tips and tricks and thought it may come in handy for others that are roaming around the globe. Some struggles I’ve found that keep many from following their traveling dreams is either the cost of flights, or the cost to travel around in another country…or both. So, can you travel on a budget? Everyone’s travel budget will vary, but here are several ways you go about traveling around at a lower cost.
Accommodation: That which includes everything from food and water to housing can be pretty close to free. Hostels may be considered budget travel in most parts of the world, but you can always do better.
- Couch surf - I cannot speak highly enough of this wonderful community. You make amazing new friends, who are also locals to the new cities you are visiting and they can show you around or give you great suggestions for the area so that you can see their world through the eyes of a local. You should always be a considerate guest though. Always clean up after yourself, offer to do some chores (you are staying for free ya know?), buy some groceries if you are staying for more than several days, perhaps buy your host a little thank you gift or cook them dinner depending on your experience and how long they hosted you. It is all give and take, they are taking care of you, so you should take care of them…that’s what friends are for.
- Camp for free. Campsites at caravan parks are in abundance in most places around the globe, but added features and amenities can tack on approximately $5 -20 per night depending on the country. Check out the locations where you can camp for free (if you can handle getting that close to nature), especially if you’re already renting a campervan.
Transport Tips: Finding others to travel with you is the easiest way to save your travel budget.
- Rent a campervan or a car together and split the cost several ways.
- Foreigners in any country with a railway system can purchase from an assortment of rail passes.
Since I am currently in Australia I’ll share the Australian rail passes that provide unlimited travel for 3 or 6 months (also including the long-distance trains) and save heaps of money on transport by doing so. - Look for budget flights - If you are going for a long period of time to multiple countries, an around-the-world ticket may be a good option for you. If not, use comparison sites like www.kayak.com, www.webjet.com, www.skyscanner.net, www.skyscanner.com
Food Tips: Depending on the country, groceries can be quite expensive, but regardless of how much it is, eating in will always save you money (unless you’re in Asia, then just eat from the food carts/stands on the side of the road. They are usually just as good as the 4 star restaurants) Beverages are where you will save the most money.
- Unlike the States, Free refills are a rare thing to come across, so think about whether you really want that second Coke with lunch or not. At around $3.50 each (in Europe & Australia), you will find your lunch bill has practically doubled with these extras.
- Opt for tap water where you can. Australian water is considered clean and safe, and it will save you around $3-4 each. If you’re in a country with water that isn’t the best for drinking, purchase the SteriPEN Classic Water Purifier from REI to take with you.
- Alcohol is can taxed quite highly is some countries, so prices are through the roof. In Sydney, you will be lucky to get a pint at a pub for $5 (usually in the $8+ range), and a 6-pack from the bottle shop might even run you $16. Cocktails are usually in the teens — $17 is not uncommon.
If you must get your drink on, backpacker bars will have the best deals (always bring a student ID if possible) some including cheap grub…or if you are really desperate you can always buy some alcohol from the grocery store and bring it in your own container, discreetly of course…. For the ladies, a Redneck Wine Glass and for the guys, a beer belly bladder

Tour Tips:
- Seek out group discounts for organized tours if you can round up a group of travelers from your hostel.
- Last-minute deals are the best way to go. Sometimes you can just show up to the place that is conducting the tour/activity and say I want this tour and you get it for half the price of what it’d normally cost had you purchased through a tour group/travel agency (cut out the middle man)
- Search around. The same tour might cost one thing from the provider and another from a hostel that also helps to book tours. You never know what you might save if you spend a few extra minutes looking around.
- Go off-season. Heading to resort areas during winter could open the door for lower priced tours.
Work Tips:
- If you have the ability to get a working holiday (or work and holiday) visa, then that is going to be the best way to combat the high cost of travel. If you can get a job and earn wages, that will tremendously help you go further in travel.
- You can even work while you go, picking up odd jobs here and there to keep you on the road.
Hope this is helpful to some of you. If you have any additional information that you’d like tips & tricks on please let me know in the comment box below

Into the Outback…Northern Territory Style

Australia’s northernmost city, blasted me with a wave of heat as I stepped off of the plane and walked across the tarmac into the airport. Darwin is the biggest settlement in the Northern Territory and has a distinctly different vibe compared to what I’ve seen in this massive country so far. With it’s close proximity to Asia, Darwin is closer to Singapore than it is to Sydney.
The Mindil Beach Sunset Markets are arguably the crown jewel of the city. Running every Thursday and Sunday in the dry season, it does a great job of summing up the city’s spirit. The food stalls are a mini tour through Asia – Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, Timorese and Sri Lankan dishes are amongst those on the menu. Aussie meals… kangaroo kebabs, mud crabs and crocodile steaks, for example are available as well. It’s possible to venture a bit through Europe with Dutch pancakes, French crepes and Greek yiros. The other stalls are generally hand-made crafts, art and jewelry. The action all breaks for the magical sunsets. It is a humbling experience to stand with your toes in the sand of Mindil Beach as reds, yellows and oranges fill the sky.
While traveling to Four Mile Hole on the Wild Man river billabong for a weekend of camping, fishing and crocodile spotting I was surprised at how lively the Australian Outback was. I originally imagined the desert and a lot of dried out, low lying bushes when I heard “Outback” but what I actually saw as
I traveled through the Northern Territory was a lot different. The landscape changed in the blink of an eye from desert to grasses, large shrubs to full out forests, filled with ivy or dotted with termite mounds. I saw wild dingos, kangaroos, donkeys, crocodiles…Each day has held beautiful sunrises and breath taking sunsets.
My butt cheeks finally got a little bit of feeling back in them after the four hour ride in the middle of the truck cabin. It was 11:30pm when we arrived to the campsite. With the full moon glowing we dropped the boat into the water and set out to go fishing. I saw 3 crocs within the first hour…what an eerie feeling to look out and see them swimming 15ft from our tiny metal vessel of a boat knowing we were only a few inches above water level.
I had the biggest catch of the night and the boys caught several Barra as well. We called it a night after filling the eski (cooler) headed back to camp to set up the beds and get a good nights rest. The following two days we woke as the sun beamed through our mozzie tents, loaded up the fishing gear, lunch and headed for the water. You’d think sitting in a little boat on the billabong all day would feel like an eternity, but time flew by, catching fish, laughing with new friends, seeing new places…nightfall came before we knew it…and so did the mosquitos!! They came in swarms and they were out for blood. We lit coils, thermocells, drenched ourselves in bug spray, but they’re resilient little buggers and nothing seemed to affect them. It didn’t stop us from having a good time around the campfire though. Roasting marshmallows, telling ghost stories and learning aboriginal dance moves from Nate, it was a weekend to be remembered.

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
I walked around downtown Sydney, Australia offering Free Hugs today. I came across many blank and confused faces as I walked by with my sign held high, but then, there was a bright, happy soul that kicked it all off with the first hug and they just kept coming after that. I will continue to give free hugs along my journey, but thought it was most fitting to begin in the city where it all began.
The Free Hugs Campaign is a social movement involving individuals who offer hugs to strangers in public places. The hugs are meant to be random acts of kindness….selfless acts performed just to make others feel better. An Australian, Juan Mann, began it all on December 1, 2004 by giving out hugs in the Pitt Street Mall in central Sydney.
The campaign became famous internationally in 2006 as the result of a YouTube music video by the Australian band Sick Puppies. In the months prior to this, Mann had been feeling depressed and lonely as a result of numerous personal difficulties. However, a random hug from a stranger made an enormous difference, with Mann stating that “A completely random person came up to me and gave me a hug. I felt like a king! It was greatest thing that ever happened.”
Mann carried the now iconic “FREE HUGS” sign from the outset. However on his first attempt in his hometown, where he returned to find that he was the only person he knew, as his friends and family had moved away, he had to wait fifteen minutes before an elderly lady came up to him and gave him a hug. Initial distrust of Juan Mann’s motives eventually gave way to a gradual increase of people willing to be hugged, with other huggers (male and female) helping distribute them. The campaign has spread to over 100 countries around the world, turning this simple human gesture into a worldwide movement.
If you feel inspired, go out and spread the love with others! Free hugs for everyone!

Don’t let the darkness of the past cover the brightness of the future.
ANZAC Day is a national day of remembrance held on April 25 to honor the Australians and New Zealanders who served and died in World War One. It is also a national holiday for all Australians.
This day goes beyond the anniversary of the landing on Gallipoli in 1915. It is the day to remember all Australians who served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations. The spirit of ANZAC, with its human qualities of courage, mateship, and sacrifice, continues to have meaning and relevance for the sense of national identity. On ANZAC day, ceremonies are held in towns and cities across the nation to acknowledge the service of veterans. The official ANZAC Day Parades begins at 9am and travel throughout the cities and are followed by a heartfelt commemoration service for the lives that were lost and the ones that still serve the country.
Soldiers wear Rosemary on Anzac day. It is an ancient symbol of remembrance. The Greeks believed that the plant stimulated the memory and at funerals, mourners would throw sprigs of rosemary into the grave as a memorial for the dead. Its significance to Anzac Day is simple: The shrub grows wild on the Gallipoli Peninsula. Diggers recall the pungent scent as they scrambled up the hills at Anzac Cove under a hail of Turkish machine gun fire, and for some, it became a scent that haunted them upon return to Australia.
After the morning events you round the friends and family up for good old fashioned BBQ. We headed back to of the beach home where the smoky aroma of sizzling kangaroo meat, fresh salad and red wine filled the air. As you can see by the video above, the music was pumping and the good vibes were flowing.
2-Up: As part of the ANZAC Day celebrations a number of pubs play the traditional Aussie gambling game of ’2-up’. Players bet on whether two or three coins (traditionally pennies) will fall heads up or down. It’s good fun to watch the excitement from the crowd grow as each bet is placed.
Here are some hard and fast rules on how to enjoy this exciting game that is only allowed to be played on this day of remembrance:
Choose your bet: Supposedly tails it’s the unlucky side of the coin (as told to me by the head betters) When I spoke to the tails betters the screamed “Tails never Fails!”. Both sides of the betters suggested for me not to fraternise with opposing betters, buy them beers, or talk to them. The crowd was a very lively bunch indeed.
Don’t be indecisive: Nobody wants to associate with someone that changes allegiances, betting on tails, then heads as the whim takes them.
Never: Take money from a 70-year-old gent wearing medals. Just forget to pick up your winnings from him, or slip the cash into his jacket pocket and disappear into the crowd.
Do scream ”HEAD ‘EM UP!”: As loudly and as many times as you’re physically capable off. Preferably next to opposing betters.
Do question the spinner: It’s your money, you should be able to ask the person tossing the coins if they’re feeling lucky, did they eat a bad prawn the night before, or have they had success with the opposite sex lately. The Aussies say it all counts with Lady Fortune.
Do peacock: If you’re a spinner, you have the right to strut around and make as big of a show of it as you can, especially if you’re an attractive woman. Just toss high, spin the coins and land ‘em on the ground.
My heart was a little lonely as I watched everyone pass by with their friends and family. Although I wished my loved one were here in OZ with me to experience the history, traditions, dancing, letting out the inner child on the playgrounds….It was still an amazing day to add to the books with wonderful new friends.

Although I have been having many amazing experiences with tons of new friendly and some familiar faces, I haven’t had much luck in finding volunteering opportunities in countries that are not poverty stricken. New Zealand and Australia have very in depth processes for volunteering (applications, interviews with HR staff, training courses, etc.) which is all good and well and I am glad that they are screening volunteers, but unfortunately I can’t just pop in and say “Hey guys! I’m visiting your country for a bit and would love to assist you in any way that you need.” So, to keep my sanity I’ve been donating/helping in smaller ways whenever possible…donated 10 lbs. of hair to Locks of Love, Helping carry and elderly woman’s groceries, taking Simon, a homeless NZ man out for lunch, connected with www.thebookofgiving.com to support micro finance loans to enable women in poverty to establish the ‘business of their dreams’. All profits received will be distributed via microfinance loans enabling these women with an entrepreneurial spirit to have a new beginning and a brighter future.
After sending tons of requests out it looks like things are finally beginning to fall into place. I’ll be assisting the http://twohandsproject.org & www.lululemon.com on Sunday morning for Marine Life/Beach cleanup and am anxiously awaiting approval from Conservation Volunteers Australia….Good things are coming. I can feel it! Sometimes we forget that ALL of the beauty, truth and light is out there for us…every single day…just for us! You just have to listen to the voices of Courage and perseverance that say “No worries, we’ll try again tomorrow”
I’ve been in Brisbane with my Framily (Friends that are Family too) for the past week. Big thanks to the Browns for including me as part of the family during their vacation to Surfer’s Paradise. We’ve had such a fun time, visiting the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, Tamborine Mountain Eco Centre and Rainforest Skywalk , Byron Bay & Surfers Paradise.
Sadly we had to part ways a few hours ago and now it’s time for Sydney to go to Sydney! I’m at the Brisbane airport getting ready to head south and explore another wonderful city in the Land Down Under.

It isn’t what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about, how you treat others and how you decide to live each day! Go forth and make each day absolutely AMAZING!!!
My last few days in New Zealand were unforgettable! Kite surfing at Murawai Beach, Hiked all around Takapuna Beach, Watched my first Rugby Game at Eden Park (Auckland Blues vs. Natal Sharks), Got to drive around on the other side of the road…it takes a little bit to adjust, especially on round-abouts and left turns, took a yoga class at the Lululemon store in Ponsonby, Camped out in Dida’s Cafe for multiple hours working on pictures, video, postcards, etc. Luckily they said they like having a smiling face around and told me I could stay as long as I’d like.
With as many wonderful experiences that I had I still didn’t come close to doing half of the things that are available in this beautiful country. I can’t wait to come back and visit!
Your life is your message to the world. Make sure it’s inspiring ♥

Talking to yourself and getting things done is more appropriate then telling hundreds of people about who you are and how you are going to make it happen.
Wanderlust is a very strong, irresistible impulse to travel and I am completely overcome with this desire. I’m always amazed when people tell me that travel doesn’t really interest them and they don’t really feel a need or a longing to see all of the amazing things, people and places this BIG world has to offer. I’m sure they are equally confused by me packing up and selling my belongings, putting my career on hold, walking away from the security of benefits and a well paying job and wandering the globe by myself. I realize it seems crazy to most, but I’m okay with it. This is my dream…Your first responsibility is to be happy. The second is to make everyone else happy.
It isn’t too difficult to pack up your life and start all over again. Perhaps a bit overwhelming and scary in the beginning, but then you get into the swing of things and everything begins to fall into place, and if it doesn’t then adjust your mindset and keep moving forward. Don’t hold yourself and your dreams back out of fear. Obstacles are placed in front of us to see if what we want is really worth fighting for.
I always dreamed about exploring as many countries as I possibly could…. Then one day I said to myself ”Why not? What do I have to loose? The way I’m living cannot be it? There has to be more to life….If anything I’ll regret not doing it.” So I went with the feeling deep inside of me that longed for something more than spending the rest of my life in one place without having explored every experience to the fullest and embracing every opportunity that comes my way.
So why did I give up my world to see the world? When I’m traveling I feel so light and overcome with joy. Sitting on a sandy beach, riding a train/bus across country watching the landscape pass by, marveling at a local artists masterpieces, not knowing where I am going but I know I’m going to meet new friendly faces each day… It fills my entire being with happiness. Travel is one of the few things I do in my life that is just for me and the one thing in life that puts a permanent smile on my face as I stand in a new country knowing that I worked hard to get here and this moment…it is mine.
No matter what we need, desire and long for in our lives, you can have it. It’s yours! The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours. It is an amazing journey and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. So go for it! Because at the end, you don’t want to have any regrets.

I’ve been absolutely astounded by New Zealand’s numerous vantage points. Regardless of where you turn, water is always a hop, skip and a jump away. The sensational mix of quality waves (perfect for beginners and the experience) gives a wide variety for surfing, sailing, kite surfing…the list goes on and on. You can score some great, uncrowded locations without traveling far off the beaten path. The island and coastlines are hit with swells from all points of the compass throughout the year. So, with a little weather knowledge from www.surf2surf .co.nz numerous options present themselves. Point breaks, reefs, rocky shelves and hollow sandy beaches can all be found, just take your pick! I’ve been lucky enough to have two very amazing couchsurfing hosts so far that just happen to be into water sports and have given me lessons in just about all of the options that are available. Everyday has been non-stop action-packed fun! Video coming soon
The city of sails…It’s hard to imagine a more geographically blessed city. Auckland’s two magnificent harbors frame a narrow isthumus punctuated by volcanic cones, surrounded by fertile farmland. It’s intriguing how close the Tasman Sea and Pacific Ocean come to kissing and forming a new island.
It’s been an adventure from day one. I arrived Wednesday morning, walked out into the airport parking lot and was able to catch a ride directly into the city. Made a pit stop at One Tree Hill to view the city from the overlook point, met the couchsurfing gang at Bungalow 8 for their regular weekly meet up. Went surfing with Hadyn at Murawai Beach, tasted local honey at the Bees Online honey center and cafe, watched a street art movie at the open-air movie night at the Silo Park on the harbor to support local artists, Hiked all around Piha Beach, Climbed up Lion Rock and explored the jungle at Folly Falls, Met with a hairdresser that contacted me on couchsurfing because he needed a hair model….got a wild hair (literally) and chopped it all off for Locks of Love. I’ve cut my own hair for the last 15 years, wasn’t sure what to expect. I was nervous & excited, but now I just feel free! Sailing on Okahu Bay, ate all kinds of goodies from various cafes around the city in search of the tiniest wi-fi signal to talk to my loved ones back home…with little luck I might add, Flat water/Stand up paddling at Tawharanui Beach, Tuesday night Advanced Acrobatics, Rode the Naked Bus (www.nakedbus.com) from Auckland to Rotorua and back to view the Maori tribal grounds and Whakarewarewa Thermal springs and there is still so much more to do and see in the few days that I have left in the wonderful country! Will post more soon! Cheers!

The Universe is desperate for you to follow your dreams. You will be surrounded by all the support you need if you choose to see life that way. So many live their life in fear. It’s such a rare moment when one of us wakes up and decides to plunge into the abyss of the unknown that the Universe will rejoice & provide everything you need for a successful journey. There will be obstacles, so it’s your job to decide how to react to each challenge. I promise you if you keep pressing on you will be pleasantly surprised to find out what lies just on the other side of every perceived “failure.”
I’ve been given a few tests at the beginning of my journey. Yesterday was definitely a test of patience. My heart dropped when several caring/concerned texts and v-mails from loving friends and family popped up as I turned my phone back on after landing in LAX. My flight had been cancelled and the Fiji international airports were closed due to flooding and cyclones… I had to quickly come up with a plan B, so I rerouted myself straight to New Zealand. The Air Pacific counter didn’t open until 4, so I spent the day exploring the city with my bestest California gal, Yung Vay & my new buddy Dann Guinto.
We had burgers at the Standing Room restaurant/liquor store and then walked all around the Redondo Pier, soaking up the sun, the waves and saw fresh sea urchins moving their little tentacles while being cut open like a coconut by the local fisherman…so sad.
Hoping to rescue my bag back in time, I headed back to the airport. 10 hours later after fighting with Air Pacific I finally located my bag & booked a flight to New Zealand leaving Monday at 10pm PST…So, slight delay, but on the bright side I got to hang with my west coast peeps & I already have several CouchSurfing hosts lined up in Auckland so it’s all good. We made it to the Hollywood sign and considered it a win for the trip.
Lessons learned:
* Always check the weather, travel alerts/warnings
* Purchase insurance on all flights purchased through a 3rd party (budget air, kayak, etc)
* Be open minded and don’t sweat the small stuff…it’s all small stuff
* You can never plan for everything,
* Always be ready to come up with a plan B, or already have one in place
Now I’m sitting on the plane to Auckland about to explode with excitement! I love it when a plans unfolds as it should. I have a good feeling for the rest of this journey and am excited to see what the future holds! New Zealand here I come!

Today is a new day, always remember that you have two choices….

Hello Beautiful world and all of the wonderful people that are following me along this journey,
A friend wrote me this morning, “How do you stay so positive and up beat? You are courageous and I admire that in you. How can I get the same? Feeling kind of down and lost today.” and it inspired this post…. I thought I’d share a little love and light with all of you just in case there is anyone else out there feeling a little down and lost.
My response to her was simple. Each morning I wake up and say to myself, I have two choices today. I can choose to be in a good mood or I can choose to be in a bad mood. I always choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it. I always choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I always choose the positive side of life. Some people say to me “But it’s not always that easy,” ….actually it is! Life is all about choices. Once you cut away all the junk, and take the time to really examine every situation…it is all a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. It’s your choice how you live your life. Don’t let other people or bad circumstances get you down, think of all of the good things in your life and turn that frown upside down. 
Each and every person is wonderful, talented & beautiful in their own way. Don’t ever let anyone tell you otherwise! Sometimes we just completely complicate things that are really quite simple. One of the things we often do is chase and chase and chase happiness…….and we don’t even know if what we are chasing is really going to bring us happiness….we just “hear” that it will….or we have been told that it will…or we think that we are chasing what we “should” be chasing and that once we finally catch it, surely we will be happy.
Beautiful friends…there are so many ways to find joy, bliss, peace and contentment without chasing anything at all…..and it’s really very simple, just remember that everyday may not be good, but there is something good in every day. Someday everything will make perfect sense. So for now, laugh at the confusion, smile through the tears and keep reminding yourself that everything happens for a reason. Have a wonderful day!!
