About

Hello, we are Audra & Ron, married for 33 years, and are newly retired. Although we’ve traveled a lot, we’ve just now decided to start documenting our travels on this travel and photography blog. Not only for ourselves but to provide info to others.

Traveling in your 20’s is fun and you’re young enough to stay in budget hostels or pretty much anywhere to save money. In my 20’s I would have slept on a couch or a floor to save money! As a (slightly) older couple, we still like to save money but sleeping on couches or bunk beds in a room full of strangers isn’t something I would do today. At least not unless I had to. 🙂

Luckily, there’s still plenty of ways to see the world and do it on a budget. Hopefully you will find something here that helps you plan your future adventures!
