We're two sisters based in Minnesota who like to discover new places without breaking the bank. We are passionate about literature, arts, food and pop culture, so bonus points when we can visit movie sets, see famous masterpieces or walk the streets mentioned by Jane Austen. 🙂

We love to see scenery and nature, history and architecture, museums and art. So if you're looking for high-octane adventure... you're in the wrong direction. Yes, we do go to the touristy sites to check the landmarks off our list, but we also aim to meander around and discover areas that we may not have planned on seeing.

Because we're also typical, hardworking citizens with non-executive jobs, we have to work hard and save up for our longer, trans-continental trips. We wish we could just get up and go anytime, anywhere... but until we find someone who'll sponsor that, we're doing it the old-fashioned way: by saving, careful planning and budgeting.

We can't always travel-hack either as collecting credit card points means collecting credit cards which means using those credit cards before said points are collected. We really don't need to run into debt just to travel, do we? We're budget-conscious but still prefer our own beds and a private bathroom provided by a 2-star hotel. We may occasionally eat at a nice restaurant, but we're more than comfortable eating street food, as well.

So, if you're in the same boat, come and read along. We may be middle-of-the-road when it comes to budget and adventure, but we are curious travelers, ready and willing to gain a new perspective simply by setting off in any direction and landing somewhere.
