A TOOWOOMBA woman has swapped a life of debt for a life of travel and wants to encourage others to do the same. <\/p>\n
Meagen Collins and her partner Tom Williams have visited 23 countries in two years and earn a living from travelling the world and podcasting the secrets of their lifestyle. <\/p>\n
The couple started a travel blog called the Five Dollar Traveller to show people it is possible to travel and live on $29 a day. <\/p>\n
Ms Collins said it was surprisingly cheap to travel full-time. <\/p>\n
\"We rarely stay in dingy hostels and normally we find amazing accommodation at a very good price or for free,\" Ms Collins said. <\/p>\n
\"Our favourite country so far is a toss up between the Philippines and Greece,\" she said. <\/p>\n
In 2011, the couple discussed settling down and two years later they had saved enough for a house deposit. <\/p>\n
After deciding not to live a life of debt, the pair changed their minds and started travelling the world. <\/p>\n
Ms Collins said she wanted to encourage other people to travel full-time. <\/p>\n
\"I used to sit in an office for 60 hours a week and was way too tired to do much more than sleep afterwards,\" Mrs Collins said. <\/p>\n
