Welcome Aboard: Your Guide to Budget-Friendly Solo Travel

Traveling somewhere new by yourself and trying to stay on budget?

I get it—I’ve been there. I’ve wandered unfamiliar cities alone with a limited budget, unsure of what to do, where to go, or how to make the most of my trip without spending a ton. I’ve learned through trial and error, and now I want to help you skip the stress and dive straight into the good stuff.

That’s exactly why I started this blog.

When I was traveling solo for the first time, I didn’t know where to begin. I wanted to experience each city fully—not just stroll around aimlessly—but I also had a tight budget I had to stick to. So many travel blogs focused on luxury experiences or expensive group tours, which just wasn’t my vibe. I needed ideas that were easy to do alone, didn’t cost much, and still felt exciting and worthwhile.

So I started creating my own adventures. I discovered how rewarding it was to find free viewpoints, do self-guided tours, hunt for the best cheap eats, or explore neighborhoods off the tourist path. These small moments became some of my favorite memories. And now, I want to help other solo travelers—especially women in their 20s—find those kinds of experiences too.

Each week, I’ll spotlight a new destination and share easy, affordable, and fun DIY activities you can do solo. They’re simple, authentic experiences I’ve done and loved—no big budget or tour guide required.

Real experiences. Real places. Really doable on your own.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • A new destination every week

  • Budget-friendly activities across different vibes—think local hikes, cute cafés, self-guided walking tours, or sports-related adventures

  • Tips for solo travel safety, confidence, and mindset

  • Mini challenges to inspire your next trip
