About
Hi, and thanks for stopping by my blog!
I’m Nicola, from Treviso, born in 1992. I’ve always been obsessed with saving money; many people would call me stingy, and over the years I’ve even gotten worse, although from my point of view I’d say I’ve gotten better!
It’s certainly also thanks to this attitude that over the years I’ve visited more than 40 countries on 4 different continents, all on a limited budget.

How can I help my readers?
“Aren’t you afraid to travel alone?”
“How can you afford to travel for so long?”
These are probably the most common questions I’ve been asked in recent years. To the first one I answer: yes, I was afraid, but not anymore.
That fear turns into excitement every time I’m about to leave. To the second question, on the other hand, I answer that with the right discipline and adaptability you can travel for a long time without spending a fortune.
In this blog I’ll try to share the tricks of the “trade” and to inspire and help my readers, with practical advice, to travel in an adventurous, cheap and independent way.

I firmly believe that to make a trip memorable you don’t need to sleep in a luxury hotel or fly first class. What truly makes it memorable are the people you meet along the way and the experiences you live.
This blog is for all those travelers, or aspiring travelers, who are looking for inspiration, practical advice and support. If you’re the typical suitcase traveler who likes to be waited on hand and foot, you’ve probably ended up in the wrong place. But remember, it’s never too late to start traveling for real.
For many, the idea of traveling the world, even for just a couple of months, will remain a lifelong dream. But the fact that you’re reading this post already puts you on the right track. I hope you can find inspiration and the right tips to start a trip you’ll remember forever.
Remember that twenty years from now you’ll be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did, so – please – at least once in your life, try this wonderful feeling of freedom.
Stop putting off the trip or the experience abroad you’ve always dreamed of until next month or next year: the “right” moment you’re waiting for will never come.
