What Is Your Website About?

Taylstravels is my travel blog where I document my life on the road. I share my successes and advice, but probably more importantly, my mistakes and what I learned from them in an attempt to save others from making the same errors. I write a lot about ways to travel on a small budget through work exchanges and seasonal work.

What’s Your Travel Style?

I’ve been to 35 countries now which feels like quite a few for someone as young as I am (I hit country #35 at 23 years old). But, I actually don’t really care for counting countries anymore. As a young backpacker, I was in such a rush. I’d spend a few days in a place and then rush on to the next.

How Do You Find Ways To Travel On A Tight Budget?

My budget is not quite as tight as it was a few years ago, but I’m still quite frugal in a lot of ways. I am definitely no stranger to nights slept on airport floors, cramped hostel rooms, and grocery store sandwiches. Looking for ways to stretch my budget has become one of my favorite parts of travel.

What’s Next For You?

I am definitely in the phase of life where I largely lack long-term plans. In the summer, I’ll live in Costa Rica working as a mentor/teen travel guide again where our focus will be learning about marine conservation and spending time with sea turtles… so I’m super excited about that. The plan is to continue seasonal work and volunteering to extend my travels as long as possible.
