Hey girl,

We’re guessing you like to travel.

Wunmi & Sophia here! We are two best friends, who met in college, and share a love for Grey’s Anatomy, female empowerment, Chipotle, and a wanderlust lifestyle.

We are not professional travel influencers ha! But, people seem to enjoy our travel tips, and we have a heck of a good time sharing them!

We’d say we’re quite the dynamic duo– One short, one tall. One Vietnamese, one Nigerian. But something we do share is that we come from loving, working families that did not always have the means for luxury travel.

Throughout the years, we have learned really practical tips to make the most of what we have when it comes to planning our trips.

These tips have allowed us to travel at least 3x a year, on an average budget of $1000 (flights included!) while still balancing our full time jobs.

We have traveled to over 25 countries…and that list is only growing!

What you won’t find on this blog: How to travel full time.

We like our jobs and are not planning on quitting them to travel the world (at least not anytime soon)!

What you will find: The best way to find cheap flight deals, budget trip recommendations, how to have the best girl trips, and packing hacks to save money.

We like to call it “lux travel for less”.
