Maybe it’s my newfound obsession with creative recycling, but I’ve been noticing all sorts of neat, crafty ideas on … Continue reading

A New Year’s Makeover

In the New Year look forward to the new and improved Penniless Traveler. No longer posting about exclusively free activities every day… I’m loosening the rules. I’ll share … Continue reading
A Lifetime’s Exploration

I have not fallen off the face of the earth!
Hello out there penniless travelers! I wanted to assure you all that I have not fallen off the face of the earth–pretty darn close though. As many of you may have guessed I’m back at college, and I’ve discovered that being here doesn’t allow me much time to travel, much less to write about it. … Continue reading
A Mushroom House in the Woods: A New York Fairytale
The final stop on our fabulous road trip was “The Mushroom House.” Where I said “stopped” I probably should have said that my Dad and I “trespassed.” This is private property, as in some-lucky-shmuck lives here. A little tricky to find, this house is up a narrow dirt road off the side of a park. … Continue reading

Fairy Tale Cottage in Western Mass
A rather quick stop, this fairy-tale house is beautiful…even if just seen from the outside. Affectionately called the Tyringham Gingerbread House, it comes straight out of the fairy tales you read as a kid to sit peacefully amidst the rolling hills of western Massachusetts. This was stop 3 on our fabulous road trip back to central … Continue reading
Road Trip Week Continues: Meeting the Lorax!
Stop number 2 on our Road Trip from Boston to Central Ohio was the quad at the Springfield Museums. While the museums do cost money, you can get into the quad between them for free. My Dad and I parked on the street and walked a few circles, before stumbling into the quad. … Continue reading
