About me

I have been traveling the world for a long time, however every time I wanted to travel to a new place I could never find out all the information I wanted to make my trip a memorable one.
There are blogs or websites which talk about travelling on a budget, however, most of these sites don't provide a detailed cost or itinerary. I found there is something which is missing and which arose the need to share detailed itineraries, tips and cost to the people who wanted to travel the world on a budget.

My experiences say that to make memories while travelling and to find that beautiful place in an unknown destination you don't have to splurge.

The idea of starting a blog about my travel journeys came in May 2016 while travelling to Turkey especially Cappadocia. I was searching for a cave hotel to stay in Cappadocia and whatever I found on the internet was too expensive for my budget. After searching for 2 days on the internet I found a hotel named Shoestring Cave House. It was within my budget, it looked good in the pictures and I booked it sceptically keeping my fingers crossed. On my flight to Cappadocia, people were talking about how much they had paid to book a Cave Hotel and all were beyond my budget and I thought to myself, my hotel will be a bad one as the price was much lesser than normal cave hotels.
I checked in to the hotel and to my surprise it was the perfect cave hotel and in fact much better than other surrounding hotels which were selling rooms at a premium.

Thus from the hotel " Shoestring Cave House" the idea of blogging about my travelling experiences on a budget was born and hence the name Shoestring Travel.
