The Secret to Travelling Longer
When I talk to people about travelling full-time, the main question, hot off the end of every tongue, is always the same…
“How did you afford it?”
Probably like you, I didn’t win the lotto or have a trust fund up my sleeve. I’m an everyday Aussie, who was not at all rich.
The initial set-up was paid for by selling the house and the ‘stuff.’
Funding our travels came through working along the way, plus making a side income through blogging.
The biggest secret to being able to travel longer is in how SAVVY you are with your money.
The key component to stretching your travel budget further is in budgeting rather than blowing.
You should never swipe your card without knowing exactly how much is in the bank account, so that you can plan accordingly.
| Financial knowledge = power & independence |
That’s why I created the Expense Tracker just two months into hitting the road.
Recording with pen and paper was becoming tedious and there were no relevant apps on the market tailored directly towards road tripping Australia.
Take control of your travel funds with the Expense Tracker!
