About Me

Hey Sis! I’m so happy you’re here. If you’ve ever dreamed of traveling the world or starting fresh in a new country—without draining your savings—you’re in the right place.

I’m Michelle, and my journey hasn’t been the typical “quit my 9-to-5 to travel the world” kind of story. A few years ago, I found myself at a breaking point. I couldn’t afford my life in the U.S. anymore. My lease was up for renewal, and my landlord raised the rent to a price I truly couldn’t manage. I was terrified—just one paycheck away from being homeless. My car was acting up, my job was a dead end with no joy or growth in sight, and I felt stuck.

That’s when I knew something had to change.

Instead of giving up, I got resourceful. I found ways to survive and eventually thrive—learning how to travel on almost nothing, house-sit my way across countries, take advantage of work exchange programs, and build an income that let me live on my own terms.

Now, I’m a full-time traveler and expat, exploring the world one budget-friendly adventure at a time. Through this blog, I’m here to show black women- like you—that budget travel and relocation for a better life aren’t just possible, they’re completely within reach.

Whether you’re looking for ways to score cheap flights, stretch your dollars abroad, or even start a new life in another country, I’ve got you covered. I share practical tips, hard-earned lessons, and real-life experiences to help you make travel and relocation work—no matter your financial situation.

So grab a cup of coffee (or whatever fuels your wanderlust), and let’s talk about how you can turn your travel dreams into reality. I’d love to hear your story—your wins, your struggles, and your goals. Let’s make them happen together!

Safe travels and smart spending!
