My guest this week is Ashley McCurdy.
After losing her job, she got rid of my apartment in Los Angeles to travel the world and live in hotels (usually Marriott) full-time and vlog about her experiences on her YouTube channel.
In 2020, she stayed 103 nights at Marriott properties for $4356, a $42 nightly average which included properties like the Ritz Carlton in Cancun & W in Midtown Atlanta.
She is passionate about teaching others how affordable travel can be while sharing her experiences as she continues to travel, eat, explore, and live in hotels full-time for $500 per week.

Travel Story: Hitchhiking Around the World and Uplifting Communities Along the Way with Krysten Kaladkarin
On a mission to touch lives through travel, Krysten Kaladkarin is journeying to hike and hitchhike the world while uplifting the communities she meets along the way.
Adventuring solo, unassisted, and with her weak passport, Krysten amplifies the realities of travel, from the cultural aspects and societal struggles of the places she visits to the inequalities she faces as a digital nomad from a developing nation.
She currently runs Krysten Kaladkarin, a social impact travel blog that focuses on solo travel, digital nomad life, and ways to adventure sustainably and ethically. Her platform also has a giving community, which has collected contributions for various causes such as the war in Ukraine and the Taliban takeover in Afghanistan.
Combining her love for travel with her many advocacies, Krysten has found a way to pass on the kindness she has received by the people who have welcomed her in their homes, hearts, and in her hitchhikes.
