Travel with an open mind and try to find your own way without relying on touristy spots. Ask locals where they enjoy eating, what they do and how much they pay--you'd be surprised how different and more exciting your trip may turn out after a few pointers!

I absolutely love to travel, and anyone that knows me, knows that I live out of my suitcase! Nevertheless, I'm sorry to say that I'm probably not as hardcore as many gals on this site. Backpacking around the world with 35kg on my back is a bit too much for me! I do however love to find the best deals I can--traveling to great places and staying in comfortable accommodation for cheap--and yes, I've found it to be possible! I will travel to just about anywhere with many of my top destinations entering the US' Defense Watch List. This, sadly, means that I often end of traveling alone as most of my friends wouldn't freely pack up and jet off to India or Nepal. I thought I may be able to find some fellow explorer girls on this site that would! Aside from travel, I love to cook, dance, watch a host of TV shows, shop, read, spend time with family&friends, sleep and eat! Aaa.... and I'm a Swedish, Japanese mix (Swedish national), with a Greencard and speak 7 languages, so I could come in handy! Either that, or at least guarantee that we won't have many country entrance issues!
