travel far
Spend smart

Hi, we’re Lorraine & Jeff - an American couple slow-traveling the world with our two oversized shadows (a pair of Great Danes) and one very patient cat. We’ve been living abroad for 4+ years and love sharing the real side of life overseas: from budget travel hacks and finance tips to everyday adventures (and misadventures!) of expat living.

Our motto is simple: Travel far. Spend smart. We believe exploring the world doesn’t have to cost a fortune, and we’re here to show you how.

Whether you’re planning a trip, curious about expat life, or just love a good grocery haul abroad, we’ve got stories, guides, and plenty of pet cameos to keep things fun.

Join us as we keep exploring - one city, one budget, and one belly rub at a time.
