About Me

Hi, I'm Kaisa! I am a bubbly budget backpacker and former park ranger. I'm as Type A as I am free spirited, and just has happy on the hiking trails as I am in a trendy downtown hostel.

I have a knack for coming up with creative ways to see the world, and am passionate about helping my readers do the same—whatever your travel dreams look like!

Welp, I was supposed to be in Arizona this week, b

Soaking up that vitamin D before the days get shor

Love me a good quirky, colorful mountain town ✌️
•
With one snowstorm come and gone already, there are only so many weekends left to enjoy days like this. Who knows, a month (or a week... this is Colorado) from now this street could be completely white!
•
Until then, with the aspens changing in the surrounding mountains, the hiking trails around Crested Butte are just as colorful as Elk Avenue 💙💚💜
•
This past weekend of tasty food and beautiful sights confirmed what I’ve suspected since we moved here: I FREAKIN’ LOVE CB. It’s the funkiest (and least shamelessly bougie... you know who you are) ski town I’ve been to in Colorado so far 🏔
•
What’s your favorite little mountain Main Street? Bonus points if most folks have never even heard of it 😄

So, how many trips have you cancelled this year...

If you are willing to put in the effort (and aren’t afraid of a little gardening), volunteering on organic farms is an excellent way to travel for dirt (ha) cheap! 🌻
•
After graduating college, I backpacked around Europe for several months and spent barely any money. I was able to do this because I spent a little over half my trip living and volunteering on local farms!
•
Volunteering with WWOOF (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms) is NOT like getting a free trip. Since they’re giving you a bed and often meals, you’re expected to put in real effort! Daily hours and tasks vary from farm to farm 🧑🏼‍🌾
•
For example, in the Irish permaculture farm in this picture, we spent about 5 hours a day weeding, harvesting vegetables, and even building a cob house! It was super rewarding and I learned a lot. We had weekends off to explore, go hiking, hit the village pub, whatever!✌️
•
If this is something you’re interested in, I have several posts on my blog about finding a WWOOF farm and the logistics of WWOOFing (link in bio)!
•
And yes, there are other sites you can find these opportunities, but I personally like @wwoof for farm volunteering specifically because of their reputation and huge network of farms in almost 100 countries! 🌎🌾🌽
•
Would you considering WWOOFing? What country would YOU want to volunteer in? 😄
