Carmen
About Me:
My name is Carmen and I’ve been exploring the world for the past decade. Much of my early travel was in Europe while studying abroad where I learned how to really (and I mean really) stretch a dollar and get the most out of my time in a new city or country. Even after joining the working world full-time, I’ve always maintained that travel doesn’t have to be expensive or weeks long to be meaningful and fulfilling. I’m passionate about encouraging my friends and family to explore the nooks and crannies of the world they find most interesting and I created this blog as one-stop shop of all that I’ve learned from my travels.
