My Story
I’m Thomas—an active-duty soldier who’s been planning real-world, wallet-friendly trips for the last eight years (ever since | hopped on a plane to the Philippines to meet my now-wife). I know exactly how to stretch a dollar while still having an amazing time, whether we’re chasing waterfalls in Wisconsin and Minnesota state parks or eating our weight in Filipino street food. I’m the guy who turns limited leave, limited budget, and big dreams into trips people never stop talking about. If you’re a young adult who wants maximum adventure for minimal money, let’s build your next escape together.
Travel Style
Quiet mornings, scenic drives, and zero food waste.
Homewood Suites’ kitchen and local grocery runs (dinner for $12, not $120), free hotel breakfast, waterfalls, hikes, and the prettiest backroads in Wisconsin and Minnesota state parks.
When we want a rush? Universal, Valleyfair, or the state fair for funnel cake and roller coasters.
My specialty: Lowest price tag with the most perks—big adventure, big fun, tiny bill.
