I was so happy today to find out that I’ve been nominated for The Adventurous Blogger Award by Anarya Andir, one of my favorite bloggers. I was especially excited to be nominated for this award because I like to look at everything I do as an adventure, from conquering a mountain to trying a new … Continue reading
Welcome to Featured Friday! This week I have an excellent guest post for you from the beautiful photography/travel blog, Stream of Light. It’s a little pricier than what I usually post or guest post about, but I thought it was still a great tip and a good deal for your money. I know this will … Continue reading
While driving back out to Ohio for my junior year of school, my dad and I stopped at various roadside attractions between Boston and Columbus. This stop was the kick-off to our adventure and it also marks the beginning of “Road Trip Week” on The Penniless Traveler! Before our trip, I visited one of … Continue reading
