Lydia encourages travelers to slow down 🐢 and immerse themselves in off-the-beaten-path locales, revealing that countries renowned for their rich cultures—like India 🇮🇳, Colombia 🇨🇴, and Peru 🇵🇪—are also the most budget-friendly.
Cooking with fresh ingredients from local markets 🥕, utilizing public transport 🚍, and exploring on foot 🚶♀️ are all part of her philosophy, helping to cultivate memorable experiences while being financially savvy.
By opting for free walking tours 🚶♂️ and connecting with fellow travelers, Lydia was able to delve deeper into the essence of each place she visited.
Her story is more than just about saving money; it’s about embracing the diverse tapestry of life around the globe 🌈 and finding richness in simplicity.

Once upon a time, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was the second unhappiest city in the U.S., right behind New York City—talk about a bummer!
But hold on to your pierogies: Lonely Planet has now declared it one of the best places to travel in the world this June! The city has traded in its frown for farmers' markets and an artsy festival bursting with creativity.
Apparently, happiness doesn’t just come from sunshine and rainbows but also from neighborhood patios and 10 days of free art!
A recent study insists Pittsburgh is now the 61st happiest city in the country—after some serious soul-searching (and maybe a good cup of coffee)!
Introducing the latest culinary craze from China: “suodiu,” or as we like to call it, ‘suck and dispose’ of your dinner! This new street food sensation has chefs firing up sizzling stones doused in chili oil and garlic.
Yes, you heard it right – you’re meant to suck the flavor off these sizzling pebbles and then spit them out like an extravagant game of culinary fetch.
Originating from Hubei, this culinary masterpiece not only satisfies hunger but also makes an excellent conversation starter as you explain to friends why you're chewing rocks. With prices as low as $2.
30, you can bring home your very own pets…but just the pebbles, not the chefs’ rhymes about spice, which we could all use a little less of in our lives!
So, get ready to indulge in the world's "hardest" dish and wonder just how you managed to end up here.
