I know, I know – how dare I use such a clickbait-y title. Aren’t I just the worst? I’m pretty excited about this post because it’s not about how to save money TO travel – it’s about how to subsidize travel, travel cheaply, and save money while on the road. Frugal Frolicker specializes in...

Would you believe me if I told you that my recent 3.5 week trip to France and Italy only cost me $411? Well it’s true! Obviously if we’re looking at raw spend, my expenses totaled way more than that amount. Frugal Frolicker specializes in outdoor travel adventures. The post How I Spent Less...

Real talk, guys: 2017 was not the best year for this blog. The 5th year of Frugal Frolicker was actually the first year that website traffic didn’t increase. Worse than that, I just felt disconnected from the blog most of the time, which often made it difficult to write. Frugal Frolicker...

There are many things that frustrate me about being an expat in Australia: the lack of Amazon Prime, the fact that my excellent US credit score means diddly squat and somehow I don’t qualify for any credit cards or financing here, not being able to log into several of my US accounts online...

This article was originally published on 22 April 2014. — Alright, real talk: How many of you are burdened by student loans? Assuming I’m not the only one raising my hand to that, let me ask a better question: How many of you don’t travel (as much as you’d like) because you’re still paying...

While I was working an office job in New York City, I managed to travel lots even while paying off $100,000 in student loans. I never deprived myself of my daily joys (the coffee, the pricey Crossfit membership), I never resigned myself to subsisting on noodles and pasta to save money, I never...

Well this post is long overdue, considering I’ve been house sitting on and off for 7 years now! I discovered how to become a house sitter shortly after moving to Australia in late 2014 as a scrappy backpacker on a work + holiday visa. Frugal Frolicker specializes in outdoor travel adventures...

I haven’t even properly done the Rocky Mountains in my own country, yet I’m all but dying to see them in Canada – how does that work? I’ll tell you how. Frugal Frolicker specializes in outdoor travel adventures. The post The Canadian Rockies // WANDERLUST WEDNESDAY appeared first on Frugal...

This probably sounds bad, but I only went to Cambodia to kill time until my broken camera was fixed. While I was in Bangkok, Canon told me they’d likely complete the repair in 1-2 weeks, so I figured it made the most sense to hop over to Cambodia, loop through Siem Reap – Phnom Penh –...

Not too long ago, I admitted to falling into a travel routine which finds me doing predictable Lindsay-esque things whenever I explore a city, whether new or my own: seeking out the good coffee, walking as much as possible, and being frugal with food and accommodation costs. Frugal Frolicker...

I have been to Italy umpteen times but never visited South Tyrol until this trip. I also had never been on a mountain biking holiday in South Tyrol or anywhere for that fact so this was a journey of a fair few firsts. We were based in the Biohotel & Bike Hotel Steineggerhof which is located in...

Last Autumn I spent one magical week wondering through historic towns by the Elbe. Wondering through vineyards. Visiting local wineries to taste their latest vintages. Sampling fine food along with the wine. Plus, I stumbled upon a few fairytale castles. For me, nothing sums up the beauty and...

It is a miserable, cold dreich day in Berlin. I’m looking back at pictures from last summer, a summer of travel like no other when life seem to back to normal almost. I’m time travelling again, as one does in moments of strife. I’m wishing myself back to the start of the journey from Dresden...

I’ve had the pleasure of living in Germany on and off for 9 years now. I’m proud to call it home nowadays. One of the question I often get from friends visiting is what popular German food and dishes they should try when they visit. I’ll admit, initially I wasn’t the biggest fan of German food...

Berlin has been our base for the last 5 years. It is a city that even after all these years, I’m still discovering. It has so many rich and complex layers of history – there is never a dull moment here. Even though Berlin and Munich are like chalk and cheese with a very different architectural...

Located in the North Rhine-Westphalia region of the country Dortmund proudly boasts its status as the country’s football hauptstadt. However, this former industrial giant also has a lesser known side where you can discover a great diverse cultural scene, beautiful green spaces to relax in cool...
