About The Poor Traveler

We’re all about those no-nonsense hacks, budget-friendly gear, and real-deal guides that won’t leave your wallet crying. So yeah, if you wanna travel more and spend less, you’re in the right spot.

So here’s the deal—The Poor Traveler? Born from a bunch of broke dreamers who were sick of travel blogs acting like you need a trust fund to see the world. Marco Reyes, the guy behind all this, basically lived out of a backpack for years, scraping by, figuring out all the hacks for doing epic trips without burning through cash. The whole vibe? Travel’s not just for the rich. Seriously, if you’ve got the guts and a bit of creativity, adventure’s totally up for grabs.

Look, if you’re broke but still itching to see the world, you’ve just stumbled on the jackpot. I’m talking dirt-cheap travel hacks, sneaky ways to save cash, and a handpicked stash of stuff you actually need—think backpacks that won’t wreck your shoulders and eco-friendly gadgets that won’t wreck the planet. Doesn’t matter if you’re a student scraping by, a backpacker on a shoestring, or just someone who refuses to pay $8 for airport coffee. I’ve got your back, so you can make epic memories without torching your bank account.

Look, The Poor Traveler isn’t just some random website—it’s basically a whole vibe. We’re this ragtag bunch obsessed with making travel cheap, fun, and, honestly, kinda unforgettable. We team up with broke adventurers (our people), locals who actually know their stuff, and brands that aren’t out to wreck the planet. All so you get the real deal—no sugarcoating, no tourist traps. We’re all about helping you plan trips that don’t wreck your wallet or your sanity. Trust us, we got you.
