Welcome to Thrifty Living Travel Freedom

We’re so glad you’re here! Whether you’re planning your first cruise, looking for a Midwest getaway, or trying to stretch your travel budget further, our goal is simple:

Help you travel more while spending less.

What you’ll find here: We believe travel freedom doesn’t begin when you book a vacation. It begins every day through thrifty living including intentional spending, smart planning, and focusing your money on experiences that matter most. You won’t find luxury travel for millionaires here. (But, you might find some luxury travel through deals we have found or using points and miles.) You’ll find honest reviews, practical advice, and real itineraries we’ve used ourselves.
