The Truth About Travel
Tuesday, March 15th, 2011Before our five-month trip to Latin America, we talked a lot about places we wanted to visit and things we hoped to see and do. Conversations we had about our trip always seemed to revolve around sights and activities. People wanted to know what we were going to do with our time. And so we did our best to compile a list of destinations we planned to hit.

Self Promotion
Tuesday, February 15th, 2011It’s time for some self promotion. And we’re talking about the promotion of YOU this time. We’ve just rolled out the new profiles here on Budget Your Trip. Now you’ll be able to tell everyone about yourself as well as link to your blog, twitter profile, facebook page, flickr photos, and more. Simply log in and look for the edit link on the upper right area of the page. Here’s an example.
In addition to that, we’ve been working on allowing you to embed many of the charts and graphs from your travel budget onto your own site or blog. We’ve also added some new charts allowing you to break down your budget over various months by category and location.
Finally, we’d like to thank Rove Magazine for mentioning us in Issue 5. While you’re there, take a peak at those great photos from Morocco, too, it’s one of our favorite countries.
We’re looking forward to seeing everyone’s updated profiles. Happy Travels!

WordPress Plugins for Your Travel Blog
Monday, January 17th, 2011As a follow up to our post last week, How To Create A Travel Blog, we’d like to share some of our favorite WordPress plugins that would be helpful specifically to travel bloggers. Like we said before, if you’re thinking about making a travel blog, you should seriously consider setting up your own site with WordPress.
WordPress is a great blogging tool made even better by the huge community of contributors. There are tons of plugins out there, but here are just a few that we find incredibly useful for travel bloggers. We’ve also listed some of the best “must have” plugins for all bloggers at the end for those of you that are just now getting started with your blog setup. (more…)
How to Create a Travel Blog
Wednesday, January 12th, 2011If you’re planning a trip, then you’ve probably thought to yourself, “I should set up a travel blog.” The benefits are obvious and numerous. Your friends and family can keep up with your adventures and photos. You can keep a journal for your memories. If you get enough traffic, you can even advertise and make money.
But how do you do it? What if you’re not a geek? Fear not fellow travelers, we’re here to help! There are many different options available, and we’re going to go over the easiest and best ways to set up a travel blog for your next big journey.
First of all, you have a choice between hosting the blog yourself or setting up a blog with a free blogging website. If you host it yourself you will have ultimate control. However, it will cost you a little money and you’ll need to occasionally dive into the technical nuts and bolts of your website. If you’re a little timid, remember that plenty of tips, instructions, and tutorials are on the web to help you out. On the other hand, if you just want to write and not deal with anything technical at all, you can quickly create a blog on one of many free blogging sites. (more…)
Phil In The Blank
Wednesday, December 1st, 2010Phil Paoletta is a guy after our own hearts, simply because he willingly chose to go to West Africa. If you’ve been keeping up with our blog, you know that we spent 3 months in the region back in ’09. It’s an amazing place, and if you read Phil’s awesomely named blog, Phil in the Blank, you’ll get a sense of what it’s like. Don’t let his “loose stool count” scare you away. Seriously. Instead, focus on his love for drawing camels, his desire to eat more Yassa, and his willingness to suffer through long bus rides. We feel your pain, Phil. Really, we do.
By now you’re probably figuring out how this works: I asked Phil a bunch of questions. His answers were insightful, just like his blog. (more…)

Standout: A Free WordPress Theme
Wednesday, October 27th, 2010We’re happy to announce the release of our first of many free WordPress themes for travel bloggers. The Standout theme is based on the design of BudgetYourTrip.com, so don’t be surprised if you notice some similarities.
