Ten Days in Paradise for Less Than $1000

In a little over 100-days’ time, we’re going on a 10-day vacation to Costa Rica, our longest vacation together in over five years.

What prompted my research on the potential for us to go there was an invitation from my girlfriend Michelle (with whom I went on safari in 2014) to join her and her husband there this coming January.

Travel does many wonderful things for us as people.

F2P Is Going "Wild" But Is It Worth Over $10K?

I'm headed to Africa later this summer. That's right. Southern Africa to be exact...and it's crazy expensive. It all started with an innocent bucket list conversation with an American friend while we were travelling together about three years ago, well before my financial reform was complete. During this conversation, she confided in me that going on an African Safari was something she had long wanted to do and that she felt a few things were holding her back.
