A post shared by Brooke Saward (@worldwanderlust) on

Brooke Saward is a travel blogger and author of the book World of Wanderlust. Her Instagram account will make you want to book a flight immediately, and her website will tell you exactly how to do so. In a popular blog post titled "How I Saved (A Lot) Of Money To Travel The World," Saward is refreshingly honest.

"I stopped paying $5 for coffee...I stopped meeting friends for dinner...I sold my car and hitched a ride to work each day," she wrote. "I was brutally economical. I wouldn’t use the lights during the day, would have shorter showers, and even charged my devices at work instead of at home. I was on a mission to save everywhere, all the time, on everything."
