You know this shit isn’t real right? 💧 Like, I might spend a few days in a city, and I post on a delay, so you don’t see the 30 pics until I’m gone. Usually I’m at home or work when I’m posting 🤷🏽‍♀️ 💧 I don’t have a perfect life where I just travel 24/7, I mean, I am #LivingMyBestLife and I’m #ZenAsFuck but still, I’m real and we all have problems. 💧 This is the highlight reel, you don’t see the negatives or the challenges (sometimes I fuss about em, I know ✋🏽) but most of what you see is the positive. 💧 I’m sensitive and emotional AF sometimes, so if you ever catch me on here doing one of those videos where I just stare at the camera and cry promise me you’ll come take my phone, ok?? 💧 You don’t really see my everyday life, you don’t wanna see pics of me at work.you don’t see the hard work I put in. You often don’t even see the negative parts of traveling, delays, exhaustion, plans that don’t work out, etc. 💧 Just giving you some clarity, while you’re at work I probably am too ☺️ 💧 Have a great day, Love Mally 💗

Mallory Walker isn’t your average travel blogger. Just glance at her IG page and you’ll quickly realize that if you’ve come looking for overly curated photos, brand friendly comments and a ‘do it for the gram’ lifestyle, you’re in the wrong place.  But if you’re looking for a relatable personality from someone trying to figure out how to see the world on a budget just like you, then this hilarious mother of two from Missouri is who you need in your life. @indefinitehoneymoon

I knew you were cool when I saw you in high school, rocking a colorful ass throwback jersey, with the matching fitted. You'd grown from the 7-year old yellow boy following me around at track practice. At that time, a fly haircut and a crispy pair of forces were all you needed. You had both. When we were in college, I thought you were so damn ambitious. You were always into so many things, launching businesses from your dorm room. At that time, I thought it was about making the most money, and you were in the game while I was still warming up. Then, I decided to quit my job to travel and write, and you were the only person who thought it was a good idea. You told me to read Linchpin, giving me the validation I needed. You accepted me at a time when figuring out who I wanted to be was the ultimate goal. Through every phase of my life, you've managed to be the man of my dreams, growing right alongside me. We didn't sacrifice, but we strategized. You convinced me we could create the lifestyle we wanted, and I believed your cool, yellow, ambitious ass. Happy Birthday, baby. Let's keep each other laughing like this forever.

Amirah and Jarrell Cook are literally two crazy kids from the hood who had a dream and took a chance. While their life sounds like the beginning of every travel blogger story ever told (they married then quit their jobs and sold all their belongings to travel the world) , what makes these two different is that then, and now, they’ve done it their way – no sponsors, no ads, no group trip sales, just old fashion hustle. Currently on the fifth year of their indefinite honeymoon, the couple regularly shares the challenges they face, how they manage finances, and everything in between, so that followers can build the life of their dreams on their terms too.

Glamping in the Masai Mara was a highlight of our trip! We stayed in 5 different hotels during our time in Kenya and this was one of my faves as it's such a unique experience. Your tent runs on solar power and there is no electricity from 12AM-6AM so you just have a flashlight. There are no keys since it's just a tent and since our tent was at the end near the electric fence we even saw some giraffes one day. Now we can't wait to go glamping again. Would you or have you gone camping or glamping? Where did you do it? Swipe left for a full tour of our tent.

Think your wanderlust has to stop once you’re married with kids? Let Monet Hambrick and her too cute for words family prove you wrong. After hearing that her and husband James’ travel life would have to end once they learned they were expecting, Monet set out to create a life on their terms, and by 6 weeks old their oldest daughter Jordyn got her first passport stamp, in Colombia. Now with little Kennedy in tow, this family of four jetsets around the globe sharing tips and tricks that will help other parents keep the fun and passport stamps coming. @willdrinkfortravel
