My travel photography and writing plus money-saving holiday tips.

I focus on budget travel, public transportation, seeking out places off the beaten track and approaching popular destinations with a view to finding its less-visited places.

We've all got McDonalds, Starbucks and Holiday Inn in our hometowns so only the LOCAL specialties and establishments make unique travel memories!
