“I can’t afford to travel!”

That’s the number one reason people avoid traveling. Did you know travel is much more affordable than you ever imagined? Often, it’s not the cost of travel that hold us back; it’s the cost of life that clips our wings and keeps us {unhappily} in the daily grind.

How do we control the costs, get unclipped, and enjoy a travel lifestyle?

Here are 3 tips to make your travel dreams a reality.

So many of us are sucked into the grind. Wake up. Commute to work. Skip lunch. Go home, exhausted. Collapse on the couch. Pay bills. Go to bed, only to wake up and do it all over again.
