Most travel influencers are using their platform to flaunt their lavish trips around the world, but that’s never been Chelsea Dickenson’s style. She found viral fame with her travel blog Cheap Holiday Expert, and she’s using her platform to encourage people to explore the world on a limited budget.
Unlike most travel bloggers, Dickenson’s love for travel hasn’t always been a part of her life. She only started traveling during her early twenties, when she finally managed to save enough money to get away on city breaks for the first time.
She decided to start documenting her travels in 2017, after kicking off a challenge where she would see how many holidays she could book for half the price the average Brit spends in a year. This was the start of a great adventure that eventually led to Dickenson becoming one of Instagram’s most popular budget-friendly travel bloggers, with almost 400,000 followers under her belt on this platform alone.
Even after becoming a bonafide social media superstar, Dickenson still remains committed to promoting cheap travel. You’ll find many tried and tested travel hacks and tips on her blog, along with detailed step-to-step guides and breakdowns of her travel expenses that can help you plan your own travel budget with ease.
