Behind the blog

At Addie Abroad, my mission is to inspire and empower budget-conscious travelers to explore the world in a meaningful way.

I believe that adventure is for everyone, and travel should be accessible—whether you’re backpacking through Europe, relaxing on a tropical beach, or discovering hidden gems in your own city. My goal is to help you experience new cultures, find unforgettable moments, and create memories that last a lifetime, all while sticking to a budget.

I understand that every traveler’s journey is unique, which is why I focus on providing practical tips, honest guides, and personal experiences to help you navigate the world on your terms. From finding the best street food in a new city to making the most of your time on a weekend getaway, I want to equip you with the knowledge and inspiration you need to make the most of every trip. My mission is simple: to help you find adventure, form meaningful connections, and live life to the fullest, no matter where you are in the world.

This is me, Addie.

I’m a twenty-something social media manager, avid traveler, and passionate storyteller. I started Addie Abroad in 2016 after moving from my small hometown in Illinois to study in Scotland. Since then, I’ve explored countries like Spain, Germany, Mexico, and Indonesia, gaining invaluable travel insights along the way. With a focus on budget-friendly travel and unforgettable adventures, I share practical tips, recommendations, and guides to help you experience the world just like I do. As someone with years of travel experience and a love for discovering new cultures, I am excited to inspire you to live life to the fullest through travel.

“Travel isn’t just about seeing new places—it’s about finding new perspectives, creating unforgettable memories, and embracing every adventure, no matter how big or small.”

-Addie
