Heather and I decided to take advantage of our Southwest Companion Pass (the best companion pass there is) and travel around the United States.
For 2 months.
In today’s episode we take some of the travel advice we give for traveling abroad and apply it to our planning process for this trip. Many of you travel domestically and here are some great examples of how to save money while traveling right at home!

That’s the question that Kelly Will asked herself when she decided to embark on a year-long quest to visit every all 50 states. But here’s the kicker;
She couldn’t stay in hotels,
or hostels,
or camp,
or even sleep in her car.
She had to stay with real people living in the places she was visiting.
And those people had to be somehow related to her network by being either family, friends, or friends of friends!
Only 2 weeks after having the idea she set out to follow her dream. She had sold all of her belongings (except her car) to fund her trip and hit the road with almost no plan!
Kelly talks to us about the ups and downs of her journey, how a change of mindset is sometimes all you need, and, most importantly, about the amazing bonds that she formed with her 164 host families.
She also shares some of the ways that she cut down on her costs while traveling around the country with a weekly budget that may surprise you.
I’ll take every single response into account, and…
I’m also giving away a $50 Amazon gift card to one of you lucky folk who fills out the survey, so make sure to enter your name into the drawing andfill out the survey here!
