My goal in life is to fill my family’s passports with stamps, creating buckets of memories along the way. You’ll find me writing about realistic ways for normal people to travel the world, whether you’re on a budget or enjoy luxury.

Amazon Prime Discounted For A Limited Time!
I use Amazon Prime so often I don’t even think about it anymore. 2-day free shipping is commonplace and the rollout of free Same-Day shipping has been truly awesome.
