We are LIVE! Traveling CHEAP!

How we travel cheap in college! What’s the Move Podcast episode 1 is HERE! For the first OFFICIAL episode, I will be joined by one of my roommates, and my travel buddy, Cammie Mitchell. Cammie and I are pretty much on the same page when it comes to traveling. We love cheap college trips. Our favorite way to pass time is stalking Google Flights and booking cheap plane tickets. The 2 of us have a pretty strong track record for driving or flying somewhere and having absolutely no plans once we get there. We like to figure out the plan as we go. This works GREAT for us 70 percent of the time. We usually get a pretty good story out of the other 30 percent.

I met Cammie my freshman year of college in our Freshman Leadership Organization. Shortly after becoming friends, I convinced her to go on our first ever trip together to Rosemary Beach, Florida in May of 2021. Since then, we’ve planned more trips than we should, but we can both agree that we don’t regret any of them.  

Road Trip of our Dreams

Fall of 2022 was the year we were going to go on the road trip we had dreamed of for so long. We planned to go to the Albuquerque Hot Air Balloon Fiesta. We are proud of this trip, and like to consider ourselves trip influencers for this one. After posting videos and photos, we had at least 10 people ask us about the details so they could go on the trip the next year. I guess it was that iconic. So, tune in and hear all the details about how we pulled off this trip in the middle of our fall semester. 

To give you some spoilers– these three things are KEY: 

1. HipCamp 
2. Fall Break 
3. PB&Js 

Cammie and I have traveled A LOT, together and separately. Cammie has traveled across Italy with her phone completely dead, and I’ve traveled countless times to Colorado and have paid strangers to drive me across the state. *Disclaimer* I don’t  recommend this as a college aged girl, but you’ll hear why this happened soon. We’re grateful for these travel hiccups because we have some pretty great stories to tell now. Listen now to find out how we travel cheap in college!
