The Creation Of #BrokeBestiesSavingForTravel

textgram_1458401749If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll know a few of my friends (and me, of course) have set up a hashtag called #BrokeBestiesSavingForTravel. And, today, I’m going to be giving you some of the gossip.

First of all, you should probably look at our intro post, which tells you all about WHO the #BrokeBesties are. So, that’s right… here! 

Effectively, we’re just a bunch of wanderlusting ladies who want to see the world, and that’s pretty much it.

We’re going to be posting a lot about the prep for our next two adventures (Amsterdam and Australia), as well as throwbacks to old sightseeing trips and ways to save the cash when it comes to travel.

So, if you want to lust after our wanderlusting blog (haha, get it?) then feel free to check us out at www.brokebestiessavingfortravel.wordpress.com or go hit up our Instagram page.

#BrokeBestiesSavingForTravel

textgram_1458401749I recently met up with one of my best friends, Ash for a catch up and a therapy session.

By the end of the day, we had made two decisions.

  1. To stop wasting our lives (and money)
  2. To go travelling together

First stop: Amsterdam in September 2016 – Me, Lara (fellow author) and Ash

Next: Australia in March 2017- Just Me and Ash

 

And thus, I created the hashtag #brokebestiessavingfortravel. I intend to use it to show you our world travels, but for now – it will show you us NOT buying Starbucks, NOT going out for dinner and NOT wasting our money.

We’re giving up the little things. But by the end of the year, we will have saved enough to spend three weeks travelling around Oz.

I’m Changing My Life Just To Travel

The more I travel and experience, the more I change – for the better.

I want to see the world – every dingy alley, every castle, every tower, every bar, every bakery. I want to smell things and taste things and experience what different cultures and climates have to offer.

I want to be changed by the world, and if that means changing my life a little bit now – I am ready to sacrifice a few things.

Recently, I’ve been spending a lot of time in London and the more I see of the city, the more I fall in love. I used to hate London because it was loud and cramped and full of tourists. But now I couldn’t stand anything but the noise. I’ve never wanted a quiet or an easy life, but now I know that I won’t be happy unless I’m trying new things and seeing new places.

I need an adventure – in any shape or form – to be happy with my life. (It’s just funding it all that’s the problem!)

165975-If-Traveling-Was-FreeSo I’ll do the overtime, and I’ll curb my expenditure. I’ll change my lifestyle just to save for all my future endeavors. I’m also getting rid of a lot of clutter in my life, physical and otherwise. Right now, that means getting rid of a lot of junk I’ve deemed important.

Wish me luck, and happy travels!
