TRIP BUDGET:
Saving for an Around the World Adventure: How do you do it?
Jayme has been saving for the past three years. Ever since she graduated and started her career as a Corporate Event Planner in Vail, Colorado she saved a % of her paycheck. Even with a high priced cost of living, she knew she would have to make some sacrifices in order for her dream to come true.
Chelsea moved back home and after deciding to join Jayme in this adventure of a lifetime, she has been saving the majority of her paycheck for the last seven months. Without the support of her family, she would not have been able to save so much in such a short amount of time!

Hi girls–I also am Kari’s sister and since I’m a travel agent I love following you on your blog—in fact, I was interested in Jordan as I am going there this week. Keep up the posts–it’s so cool to live vicariously through you–if I were only 30 years younger I would have come along!

Hi, my name is Chris Schlosser I am a friend of Kelly Smith’s. I am actually planning on traveling around the world just like you girls. My trip starts in July. I was wondering if there is anyway I could talk to you girls after you get back. I think we are going to a lot of the same places and the more information I have the better. Just let me know. Until then, your post are great and very inspiring.
