In some ways, it's hard to believe it's been a whole year. In other ways, not so much. That's because it has gone by relatively quickly, but at the same time, SO much has happened. Either way, it's true - the very first post on this blog was on March 14, 2018. It's been quite the ride since then. I'll be totally honest - I definitely had the existential crisis many bloggers experience at the…
In just two short weeks, I will be on a plane headed to Europe. And I will have paid almost nothing for that ticket. In this post, I'm going to cover how to fly anywhere in the world for (almost) free.It seems like there is still a lot of misconception around these trips.

I've been talking about starting a post roundup for quite some time. Honestly, it feels like I've been talking about it forever. In reality, it's probably been more like a few months. But since this blog is coming up on its first anniversary (wow!), I guess it makes sense that a few months would feel like forever.

With a certain presidential candidate promising free college as part of his campaign and growing national student loan debt, I feel it's a good question to ask. So, is free college tuition possible in the US? Is Free College Tuition Possible Anywhere? It's not just possible - it's already a reality. Yes, many countries offer it today.…
Hey there! Now that I have been blogging for a little while, I thought I would let you know how to become a blogger. The fact is that blogging is a lot of work - and it can be TOUGH if you don't know what you're doing. Domain names? Self-hosted?
