    Working at Summer Camp in the USA: Spending Diary

    August 27, 2025 /

    I just spent 10 weeks working at summer camp in the USA and here’s a breakdown of every penny I spent whilst out there. Housing Housing is included in my contract so I spent a grand total of £0 on rent & bills during my 10 weeks working at summer camp. The free accommodation is one of the best parts about working seasonal gigs! Not having to pay for accommodation for a big bulk of the year is one of the reasons I’m able to travel so much and still save a healthy percent of my income.

    April 22, 2025 /

    If your socials algorithm is anything like mine, I’d bet you’ve seen the viral spa Therme, Bucharest a couple of times! For a month or so, I couldn’t watch reels without seeing a bunch of Therme content and the idea stuck.

But how much did the viral spa trip actually cost? Let’s break it down… Return flights = £191.37 (£63.79pp) We flew direct to Bucharest from Birmingham for £63.79 each.

    Dublin Spending Report – Is It Really That Expensive?

    February 26, 2024 /

    A few weeks ago, I spontaneously decided to book a little solo city break to Dublin after finding cheap flights on Skyscanner. I’d always wanted to visit Dublin but it had never worked out. Considering how close I live and my family’s links to the country, I’m shocked it’s taken 23 years to visit Ireland. After seeing the flights and already planning on being in the city they were from it was a no brainer. Especially considering I have a travel fund, fully funded ready to go. So I went ahead and booked it! {Disclaimer – this post contains affiliate links meaning that I might earn a commission if you…
