Hi Frugalistas! Due to a publishing error, I apologise that some of you may be receiving this post (now finished!) for a second time. But I think it’s worth the wait!

One bag travel: a travel blogger packing list
Hi Frugalistas! I’m feeling the pressure. Heading to TBEX Athens with hundreds of other travel bloggers is a bit intimidating.
