about me

Hi there! I’m Veronika, the adventurer behind Bag & Board.
Let me tell you a bit more about me:

My passion for budget travel has taken me from the historic cities of Europe to the vibrant landscapes of Central America. All with a backpack and a thirst for authentic experiences. Throughout this blog, I aim to prove that anyone can explore the world without spending a fortune.

Whether you are navigating European train systems or hopping buses in Guatemala, you will find something here to inspire your journey. These regions offer incredible diversity, rich cultures and unforgettable adventures, all accessible on a budget.

From tips on finding cheap accommodations and using public transport, to detailed itineraries and personal stories, I’m here to make your travel dreams a reality, even if you travel solo or with somebody.

Mission

With a backpack on my shoulders and a passion for travel, I want to uncover the most exciting destinations while keeping my budget intact. I share stories, travel tips, and budget-friendly itineraries to inspire others to explore the world in a more affordable and authentic way. With this blog I aim to be your go-to guide for adventure on a budget.

Philosophy

My adventures focus on traveling light, embracing local cultures, and getting around local buses, trains and everything in between. I believe that the best travel experiences don’t have to cost a fortune. They just require a bit of creativity and a lot of curiosity! Every year go some place you have never been before.

more about me

When I’m not wandering new streets or hopping on a bus or a train, you’ll probably find me at a café, scribbling notes about my adventures.

And I love to learn some words in the local language (sometimes with mixed success!).

Or probably I am rolling on my skates or attend a ballet or yoga class.

I would love for you to join me on this incredible journey!

Let’s go!
