Adventure within reach

Welcome to travelontheside.com – a space dedicated to those who want to travel more but feel like they lack time or money. We believe that you don’t need a gap year, a trust fund, or an empty calendar to see the world.

In a world of highly curated, “all-or-nothing” travel and full time travel influencers, this site is a resource for those navigating more realistic circumstances: the students, the employed, and those who want to bridge the gap between their daily responsibilities and their dream of exploring new places. Here, we prioritize authentic perspectives and practical strategies for exploring more with less. 

Whether you have forty-eight hours or four months, we’re here to help you navigate your dream without hitting “pause” on your real life.

Hi, my name is Lexie! I’ve been traveling since I was a child and that early exposure eventually grew into lifelong passion for exploring new places and perspectives. I lived in three different countries across two continents and I combine travel, work and studies on a daily basis. Balancing all those things helped me develop unique perspective on travel and gave me necessary skills to make the most of it on limited time and resources.
