Accounts vary dramatically. Is Bali really cheap? Or really expensive?
The truth lies somewhere in the middle. You can visit Bali for cheap and still be comfortable, or if you have a higher budget, you can live like a king.
Today Heather joins me to discuss what we’ve noticed about the average prices of accommodations, food, activities and more in Bali.
Bali can be done in any way you please, but it is true, Bali really can be that cheap.
Today Heather and I list the top 15 websites that we LOVE to use to plan our travels. If we’re paying for plane tickets (yes, it happens) we know where to go.
Train tickets? Check.
We’ve even got a ton of sites for accommodations and a great one to help budget your travels.
And of course, you need to know what to do when you get there!

As far as I was concerned, it was that place south of Mexico, and north of Brazil.
That was until I met Robb and Dave. They had spent almost 3 months in Guatemala on a previous trip and listening to their stories made me realize that I need to know more. A lot more.
Today I bring back Robb Hillman and David McMullin to share their experiences in Guatemala with all of us so that we too can fall in love with this seemingly beautiful country. We talk about some of the best sites to see, including Tikal, active volcanoes, and caves best seen by candlelight.
We also chat about the “Chicken Bus” phenomena and the Killer Tomatoes, and how you never really know whats coming until you get there.
Guatemala sounds like a fabulous place, and it’s officially made it’s way to a top spot on my list of places to visit!
