About ExploringWithDo

Helping you travel smarter, spend less, and experience more

Hey! I am Dana

I’m a budget travel expert, photographer, and digital nomad who has explored over 40 countries across 6 continents—all while working remotely and spending less than the average person does on their daily commute.

My journey began in 2018 when I quit my corporate marketing job to travel for what was supposed to be a 6-month sabbatical. That short break turned into a complete lifestyle change when I discovered I could earn a living while exploring the world.

I started ExploringWithDo to share practical, honest advice for everyday travelers who want to experience more without spending a fortune. Unlike many travel influencers, I focus on realistic strategies, affordable luxury, and authentic local experiences rather than Instagram-perfect poses and luxury resorts.

When I’m not hunting down flight deals or testing hotel hacks, you’ll find me learning new languages, practicing photography, or searching for the perfect local coffee shop wherever I land.

Currently Exploring: Italy

My Travel Philosophy

Authenticity Always

I believe the best travel experiences happen when you engage with local cultures, eat where locals eat, and venture beyond tourist zones.

Slow Travel

Rather than rushing through 10 cities in 7 days, I advocate spending more time in fewer places to truly experience destinations.

Community-Focused

Travel is better when shared. I believe in building connections and helping others experience the transformative power of travel.
