But we’ve found frugal things that just work in our lives, we love hiking, so when we travel we skip the tourist traps and just go for a nice hike.We also are into travel hacking, so this summer alone we’ve already been to Florida, California, Alaska as a family, and we’ll be traveling by myself on a backpacking trip with some buds in yosemite in two weeks.

Check backpacks, shoes and clothing after using public transportation or visiting theaters.

I love being in the outdoors, (sounds like we've got that in common) so that where I tend to spend more money on... bikes, kayaks, running events, backpacking/hiking, snowboarding and other outdoor trips. 

So for us to have the ability to travel, ski, rock climb, and backpack whenever we want in our twenties still is a major win, I think :)Our very last paycheck!

In a backpack, with 30 customers staring at me.

It always hits me when I go back country camping and watch the sun rise while enjoying a coffee - everything I really need fits in my backpack (including a micro coffe maker)!

So, who was expecting to find this in their kid’s backpack?

And for them it probably was because they had hardly hiked or backpacked in their life.

I go backpacking a lot, kayaking and just got into rock climbing.

This is from my experience as a backpacker who been to 30 countries in my 20's I have lived in Singapore, Tokyo, New York, Portland, LA, Bay Area now.
