Backpackers & Budget

Friends and relatives often ask me for budget travel advice and I love helping them out. So, I thought, why not have a site where I make all this information on budget travel available?

There are many travel resources and guidebooks out there that tell you how to travel on the cheap, how to save money, how to get the best airfares. We have read and used many of them, and there are lots of good ones around. How To Travel For Free (or pretty damn near it!) is different in that in these pages, we share our own personal resources and experiences to show ways in which you can travel not just cheaply, but for free

Travel Independent .info is an independent, non-commercial site by travellers for travellers to encourage people of all ages to travel independently and give them the information they need to feel confident about it.

offers hostels world wide, tips on backpacking, safety, Eurail, travel stories, student tips, links, and backpacking message boards

Vagabond Journey Travel is an extreme budget travel project to provide maps of the road ahead for travelers on long term journeys with limited monetary resources. Our mission is to provide practical information, ideas, inspiration, and tips on how to travel the world. We have been traveling for a combined 14+ years through more than 50 countries, this site is meant to share a little of what we picked up along the way.

Working Nomad - working from anywhere

We write about inexpensive ways for people to get to places they had only dreamed of going. We hope to inspire others to travel – to infect them with a serious case of "wanderlust." Nothing pains us worse than hearing people say, "I'd love to travel, I just can’t afford it."
