Travel On A Budget: 2017 Edition
Would you look at that, another year has passed. In true form, we are publishing Travel On a Budget: 2017 Edition. Who says you have to leave your hometown just to explore and experience more?

How we fund and afford our travels
People always ask us how we can afford to travel this much, and we try to make it as transparent as possible by posting our travel expenses on this blog. However, what they really don’t know is HOW we can afford to spend all that money on travel. Living in the USA, I’ve realized that it is a land of opportunity, and also a land of many temptations.

If you have any other questions, feel free to leave…
Where to go in Havana Cuba (Where we went, and what we saw)

At the same time, we had a few JetBlue points to use, and they had a deal for Cuba – so that’s why we (Peter, me, and a friend named Anthony) decided to book our plane tickets to Cuba. In this post, we talk more about our trip to Havana, and specifically where to go in Havana, Cuba. Our trip was from February 18-21, 2017 – the 21st technically doesn’t count because we just used that to travel back to the US, so as a reference, we had been…
