Jamie's travel obsession began when she took a gap year before university, working as an au pair in France where she discovered European bike share systems and budget travel hacks. After establishing a career in publishing and starting a family, she began documenting their adventures on a blog titled 'Champagne Travel on a Beer Budget,' which unexpectedly went viral when her detailed comparison of a $50 vs $500 hotel room in Bangkok was picked up by major media outlets. What started as practical notes to help friends plan affordable trips has evolved into a mission to prove that meaningful travel experiences aren't reserved for the wealthy.
