My Best Travel Advice

July 26, 2017 by etchedinadventure

Get out of the hotel room. The biggest waste of opportunity and money is going on holiday or vacation in a new city and spending all your time in your hostel or hotel room doing what you could’ve done at home for free. Get out and explore! See something new, stroll through a park, find an observation deck, have a local beer at a brewery. Drink it all in! Get off the beaten path and get a little lost. I […]

Road Trip: Charleston, South Carolina

October 7, 2016 by etchedinadventure

I refer to my US roadtrips as my Statewide Ride. I started off by driving from my home in Orlando, Florida all the way up to Hoboken, New Jersey, visiting several states along the way, where I stayed for a few weeks with some close friends and saw New York City and Philadelphia up close and personal for the first time. Ever since then I’ve had an itch that I just can’t quite scratch and have to do something about from time to […]

Frequently Asked Questions

March 16, 2016 by etchedinadventure

I get asked the same two questions all the damn time: How do you afford to travel all the time? See: https://etchedinadventure.com/2016/03/10/how-i-save-money-to-travel-every-mont and How do you find all these deals? See: https://etchedinadventure.com/2016/02/12/the-budget-traveler-in-the-u-s/ How do I do it? I break A LOT of rules when it comes to traveling.

Countdown to the Big Easy

February 18, 2016 by etchedinadventure

Planning any trip is simple yet a task when trying to budget every dollar while still experiencing the city and culture. I always ask myself these three questions: 1. Where am I sleeping? 2. What am I bringing? 3. What am I seeing?   When scavenging for a place to stay I stick with hostels because they are almost always going to be the cheapest, being a male I have few concerns staying in as many as a 12-person mixed dorm, but traveling with a girlfriend, instead I have a myriad of concerns. […]

1. For help with money management try Mint. For free they put all your banking accounts in an all-in-one perspective, create a budget for bills, and track your spending. In addition they’ll form a progress report on what you want to save for then break it all down through charts and graphs so you can see reports on your disposable income as well as a load of quick tips to help you make your financial goals. 2.

The typical downfall of being a wanderluster is finding and managing your money on trips that are sporadic or semi-planned.

Here are a few simple tips and things to think about when traveling. First, you need to ask yourself these simple questions and be honest. Am I going to eat […]
