Hi! I’m Francesca, a native Californian, history teacher, and doctoral student who loves to travel. I’ve been to 60 countries across 7 continents and all 50 United States. My blog focuses on California, the PNW, National Parks, wine, and bucket list places.

I ALWAYS get asked how I can travel so much on a teacher's salary and how I find the best travel deals. I always tell people the biggest money savers are be flexible with where you travel and know where look for the best deals. I have also recently gotten into travel hacking and booking vacations solely on points.

I love showing people the best tips and tricks for the traveler on a budget, and now I cannot wait to share my tips with you all.
