the most loved kid in my family. (Just informing) Haha! I am the younger most sister to my eleven cousins, no wonder they love me the most.
I am born and brought up in India, and since then I am living in this beautiful country. Soon, after my graduation, I started working as a marketer, it's been three years now, and I am still in the same profession. But now I do it for World through Erica, to reach more people like you.
A little More About Me
Other than watching Tom and Jerry and painting like I am a real professional artist, there is one more thing I have been doing since childhood. Traveling, yes, that's traveling, thanks to my explorer mom. At the age of thirteen when I went on a 22 days trip to South India, I realized that I could do it all my life. Traveling through the Indian beaches, waterfalls, monuments, and mountains, I always thanked my Mom for carrying me along every time. Today, she is quite busy with her food business, her first love, so I am all on my own. The day I completed my high school I became a bit disobedient, I had to; because India doesn’t really like the idea of traveling frequently and spending money unnecessarily. My disobedience took me to many more places making me more strong and independent.

The Problem I Noticed That People See While Traveling: Budget
Since the day I started working, I am traveling. Yes, my employers were all pissed with my frequent travels, but they tried supporting somehow (not really though :P). Little savings and then I would disappear. That’s how it was. I was happy in my ‘travel-work-travel’ life until the day I shared my travel experiences with one of my friends. When I was telling her more about my adventures, the first thing I heard was, "Erica, I wish I was as rich as you.” And it happened again. I listened to the same sentence twice, thrice, four times, 10 times and 100 times.
What? Why? Why do people say that? Traveling has nothing to do with being rich. No, I am not rich. I just avoid the luxury life, save and travel on a strict budget. I just made travel my priority, and everything else started falling in place.
A Start to World through Erica
After hearing all the budget concerns people have while traveling, I thought of sharing my budget travel tips and stories that can inspire many removing those unwanted barriers for passionate travelers like you. I believe you don’t have to be rich to travel. Big dreams and a little budget would do. That’s what I want from all my travel buddies; to make their dreams big and start walking towards it with a tiny budget.
