Welcome to Luggage & Passport, the travel site about exploring the world alone and on a budget.
Let me introduce myself: I’m Cynthia, early 30s, navigating the corporate world, doing a lot of travel, and co-writing this blog.
I’m obsessed with discovering new cities and countries. And I believe travelling the world doesn’t have to be super expensive.
I started this blog in late 2023 to share all the best budget and solo travel ideas for girlies who don’t have a fat bank account and dream of seeing the world like me.
Facts about me

- I’m a huge ice cream lover. Whenever I visit a new city, I want to try out all the gelato spots.
