Travel Tips Included

Hi, I’m Kristen – Founder of Travel Tips Included

This blog is your go-to place for learning how to see the world without draining your wallet or upending your life.I’m passionate about showing people that travel isn’t just for the wealthy, the lucky, or full-time nomads. It’s for you—even if you have a 9-to-5 and a limited budget.

Where It All Began

My travel journey started in 2018 when I nervously boarded my first solo flight to Vancouver, Canada. I had never been outside the United States before, but after hours of online research, it was time. That trip sparked something in me, and I’ve been chasing that feeling ever since.

What Travel Looks Like for Me

Since then, I’ve taken more solo trips, as well as adventures with friends and family. I’ve learned how to travel affordably and still have an amazing time. Now, I love helping others do the same.

Whether it’s searching for cheap flights, choosing the right place to stay, or figuring out local transportation, I’m the friend everyone calls for travel help. I still work a regular job, fly economy, and use buses or trains when it makes sense.

I’m not selling a dream life—I’m sharing what’s possible when you plan smart, stay flexible, and stay curious.
