Welcome

“Open the gateway to a new reality with a key of courage and a push of persistence – and you will soon find yourself soaring in the sky of inspiration”.

Diana Turner

First of all, let me thank you for checking out my travel blog. Without you, it would have been like rehearsing a speech in front of the mirror โ€“ enjoying the process of expressing thoughts and ideas but having nobody to share them with, except the reflection of my own selfโ€ฆ

My name is Diana Turner, Iโ€™m an online English teacher, a musician, and a travel blogger โ€“ nice combination, huh :). Yet, this combination is exactly what shapes my creative personality, my free travel spirit, if you will.

Being an online teacher means you donโ€™t make enough money for a luxurious travel, but you make just enough for a happy one. I strongly believe that happiness is not measured by the amount of amenities in your hotel room.

The more you have, the more you wantโ€ฆAs a result, we stop appreciating and enjoying what we have. Thatโ€™s why my blog is all about budget traveling, how to travel cheap and feel real joy and happiness from your travels.

In this blog, I will share my travel life stories as well as give you some useful travel tips and tricks that can help you have safe and stress-free travel experiences (as we know, we all learn from mistakes โ€“ our own or someone elseโ€™s).
