Definitely not into buying tourist trinket. However, we have a habit of putting an art purchase into our holiday budget. That way each painting in our home has a backstory, as well as serving as a reminder of the trip. We ask people we'll be staying with what they'd like us to bring with us from Australia. That way we know that we're giving them something they actually want / will use instead of wasting money on a trivial thank you present. Quadelle´s last blog post..Walk this way

I love traveling! I’m a military brat, so I’ve lived all over the place. Growing up we never stayed in any one place longer than 3 months…until we moved to Texas. I’ve been here almost 16 years now and I have to say, I’ve been feeling restless. I guess it’s partly because I liked traveling. Moving not so much, but getting to see and experience new things was always exciting. I think I’d enjoy Texas more if I traveled more, which is why one of my goals this year was to have $5k in a travel account.

At any rate, I’d love to go backpacking through Europe. And while I’m not so big on the whole camping thing, I think in that case I’d make an exception, particularly if they have plumbing! That’s always my biggest objection to camping. I want a real toilet and shower. I can do without all the rest, but the plumbing is absolutely essential!

BTW – I ‘d love that book! Thanks for the contest!

We have always wanted to travel even in the U.S. but couldn’t but we found a way to help us through bartering. It would be great to do this Internationally also. Great article.

Oooo- I would love to win this book. The post is great, too. I love to travel and having monetary constraints just makes me more creative.

I hate clutter so when I travel, hoping to go overseas this fall, I try to buy something unique that I’ll use over and over. Jewlery, or a scarf, something that I couldn’t get at home.

My dh & I love to travel. We both did quite a bit before “us”. We are planning a trip to Greece in May & are staying with friends. We always check out the local market for food deals. And I am an ultimate bargain finder. Great blog. I enjoy reading it. Yammas!

Sigh! This reminds me of my study abroad days…and makes me wish I lived in a location desirable for house swapping…and makes me double wish I could just pack a bag and go today.
Sounds like a fab book!
