About Me

Hi, I'm Jane Traveler - and I'm here to help you save on travel.

So who am I? The name may be deceiving - I'm not blogging during a round-the-world trip and if I was, I wouldn't be boring the blogosphere with the details of my travels (just my closest friends and family).

I do, however, love a travel bargain! See, I don't spend a lot of money on clothes or shoes. My top expenses are travel and food (while I travel!). I put my hard-earned money on traveling when I can - whether it's a weekend road trip or a 1 month long trip across the U.S.A.

It all started with my work - I work at a small firm that requires a couple of our people to travel frequently. For anyone who's worked at a small business, you understand that EVERY PENNY COUNTS! I'm always researching on the best travel deals around for my company - and over the past 2 years, I've compiled a lot of research and some basic "how-to's" when purchasing airfare, hotels and car rentals. When I plan my own vacations, I use the same tips and tricks I've learned - and realized that traveling doesn't HAVE to be expensive and traveling on a budget doesn't mean cutting back on fun!

Pretty soon, I was giving tips to my friends and family. Everytime someone was going somewhere, they'd ask me about where to purchase, which was the best time to go, etc. I started giving them tips and they were quite happy when they got the best price based on my advice. I was so happy seeing my friends NOT throwing away money!

I'm not a travel industry expert - I'm an average person. I do, however, use a lot of common sense, experience and research when doing the thing I love most! So, I'm be sharing my best travel tips, some daily/weekly deals I've found or once in a while - a juicy story/rant from some of my more demanding bosses I book travel for (I'll be changing names, some details or shifting timelines to protect myself and my job, but the crazy stuff I've had to deal with are strange and true!).
