About Charmaine

Hello! I’m Charmaine, and I am here to help you travel cheaper, longer, and happier on a budget.

After spending five years abroad, I am now located in Toronto Canada, where I call home.

Prior to that, I have lived across three continents.

During my third year of university, I left home for the first time and embarked on a study exchange in Singapore. When I graduated, I went to Quebec (a French region in Canada) and Paris to teach English to French students. After picking up some French and wanting a change, I decided to land in Hong Kong! I spent four years there, practicing my Cantonese, completing my Master’s and working in the education sector.

This blog is a collection of tips and advice to help you to travel more. I want to take the things I (and others) have learned and provide them as a valuable resource for you!

So what are you waiting for? Let’s start sharing our experiences together!
