2016 in Frugal Travel
2016 just started, but would you believe our 2016 calendar is nearly filled up? On this post, we share our 2016 Travels and Experiences on a Budget. Who says you have to live like a backpacker in order to travel more? And who says you have to leave your hometown just to explore and experience more? We try to break the misconception that you’ll have to travel outside your hometown to experience new things, and we try to prove that yes, there are amazing things right at your own backyard! Through the use of credit card points, miles, and various deals, we show you how to travel luxuriously and have extraordinary experiences without breaking the bank. This also ties to our philosophy that your travel budget can be higher than normal and also show the Real Cost of Travel.

Note: Our travel budget for the whole of 2016 is $3,500 per person, potentially less. This is a megapost filled with Excel tables – and will be updated a lot as the year progresses.

If you’ve noticed, there’s no plans yet for certain months (ie they seem so barren). Over the course of 2016, we’ll keep updating this post as the list goes longer and longer. Of course, we’ll also update this post with cost breakdowns of all our travels, so you too can replicate it! This also goes to show that there are some weekends that we’re not doing anything. Like any other person, sometimes we just want to stay at home and do nothing: wake up late, watch TV, read, and basically not really be productive. That is our way of recharging from all these experiences, but we might also be in the background, preparing new articles for you to enjoy and at the same time researching where else to go (or reading up on blogs and books that will enrich our life).

This is amazing, Ruby! Thinking if I should create a personal tracker that's similar to this. Very excited to read all about your 2016 travels.
It's up to you, are you comfortable sharing your expenses online and can you track the costs per trip? If so, then go for it! :)
We're currently in Orlando so another expense post will be up on our blog. After that, we'll have time for some trip reviews :)
Thanks for visiting!
I`m so looking forward to this! Especially the photos from May! Congratulations, wishing you a fabulous married life ^_^
Thank you Daniela! Ever since we started blogging, we realized we have more content than we can think of! There's not enough bloggers out there to cover everything! :)
