Most of what I share has been tested in real time - buses, trains, budget flights, senior rates, and backup plans included.
Welcome! Whether you found me through the Go Wild Locals Travel journal or stumbled across my Locals landing page, you’ve now joined a community of travelers who believe adventure doesn’t have to cost a fortune or require perfect conditions.
Here’s what you can expect:
- Stories from my own Go Wild adventures (the wins and the lessons learned).
- Tips & tricks for budget-friendly travel, like my $3 train ride in Orlando that turned into a Bahamas cruise.
- Bonus content to help you plan smarter, travel lighter, and say yes more often.
Stay tuned and I’ll share:
✔️ The story of how my first few trips came together in just days.
✔️ How to take quick 1-day “notel” trips without ever booking a hotel.
✔️ The story of stretching a budget flight into a cruise getaway (and why flexibility mattered).
This isn’t about me, it’s about you and the adventures you’re ready to create. You don’t need a big budget. You need a little planning, some flexible thinking, and a willingness to test what’s possible.
So grab your carry-on, keep an open mind, and let’s go wild together.
Talk soon, Vicki

✨ Bonus Tip: Start simple. Write down 3 cities you can fly too that you’d love to visit in the next year, even for just a day. Keep them handy, because when that flight deal pops up, you’ll be ready.
