Almost roughing it in New Zealand

Ready to comfortably leave your comfort zone?

Almost roughing it is my thing. Over the years, I have come up with some tricks on traveling light on a budget while not giving up my favorite things. Now I want to share them with you. Here it is….AlmostRoughingIt.com.  I hope my blog will give you ideas on how to comfortably leave your comfort zone too!

This isn’t a typical travel blog. The focus isn’t on sharing my travel stories (although I might include a few) but rather to help you with yours. I didn’t create this for backpackers planning $20 a day, 6-month journeys, sleeping on couches nor is it for luxury-loving tourists who like their vacations planned out by professionals. My aim is to provide something in between. But no matter what kind of traveler you are, I believe you may find a couple of my methods useful to get comfortably out of your comfort zone.

Things I will cover will include:

• Plan a multi-city trip in a foreign country without a travel agent
• Tips on getting around a country without a car
• How I save on airline travel
• How to camp in style
• Airbnb, Booking.com, Hostelworld.com. What you should know.
• How to pack light without sacrificing
• Tips and Tricks on planning a camping trip on the other side of the world. 
• Gear Choices: The Essentials
• My tips on eating abroad on a budget
• Gear reviews
• And more…
