I have a habit of constantly seeking out travel inspiration. Like most millennials, I love traveling, but as a young professional, it's pretty difficult to find the money to travel like I want to without going into debt. But it IS possible. It just takes some discipline and research. I know, neither one of those things are very sexy, but you know what is sexy? Getting your money right! So if you're like me and want to travel without putting your financial freedom at risk, the best way to do that is to start a travel savings account! You can literally start by putting aside  $5 or $10 a week. And once you see how little you miss that $10, automate bi-weekly transfers from your paycheck into your savings account. $100 a month adds up real quick! I have an online savings account with Ally Bank because they don't charge any monthly or annual fees, and I don't have automatic access to spending that money since that account doesn't come with a card. This is super helpful for me because I literally don't have access to those funds for impulse buys.  And if you're curious about where I want to jet off to, here's a list of the places I'm currently saving up to travel to!

Do you ever close your eyes and dream of being somewhere else? Somewhere warm, where there's a plethora of sunshine? Maybe you're on a boat, or maybe you're exploring a tropical island?

I don't know how to express how done I am with this winter weather here in the greatest city on Earth, aka NYC. So to feed my wanderlust, I've been looking at beautiful places and beautiful clothes to wear to those beautiful places. Why? Because I'll be damned if I don't look fresh as hell during my next jetsetter adventure.
