Behind the Blog…

Hello!

I’m Sommer, a Boston Bean living in Wisconsin for over 20 years. I’m an empty nester (Hi Lexi!), who has made traveling with my Gent, and traveling with my girls, to over 20 countries in a thrifty but chic way a fun and challenging adventure!

I want to see the world and experience different cultures, but I don’t want to break the bank. Most of the research I would conduct before a trip led me to blog posts by 20-somethings who thrived staying in hostels and eating street food.  Those are great, but not for this stage of my life. 

I want to take the cooking classes, find the deals, learn some of the local language, and discover a few out-of-the-way places.

Come along with me on my next journey!
