    Hey there!

    Thrifty Nomads Team

    We’re Jen and Ted, former partners turned friends with a passion to inspire affordable travel. 8 years ago we ditched our jobs, sold everything & pursued a life outside the 9-5 bubble. We learned travel doesn't have to be pricey, and created this blog to prove it. We haven't looked back since!
