Our Story: From One Overpacked Suitcase to a Smarter Way to Travel

Budget Broad started in 2023 with a simple frustration: travel advice was either too expensive or too generic. We found ourselves—like many of you—sifting through endless reviews, comparing insurance fine print, and second-guessing every gear purchase.

We realized that true budget travel isn't about skipping experiences—it's about making smarter choices so you can have more adventures, not fewer.

After helping friends and family plan their trips (and saving them thousands in the process), we created Budget Broad. Today, our team of budget-savvy travelers, gear testers, and deal hunters is dedicated to one mission: giving you the clear, honest information you need to explore confidently without breaking the bank.

Our Mission: Empowering Your Adventures

Our goal is to cut through the noise and provide genuinely useful guidance. We don't just list the cheapest options—we find the best value. Whether it's a hostel that feels like home, travel insurance that actually covers adventure sports, or a carry-on that survives a 10-country trip, we do the research so you don't have to.

Every recommendation, from our gear reviews to our curated deals, is driven by real testing, community feedback, and a commitment to transparency. When we partner with brands like Discover Cars or SafetyWing, it's because they've consistently delivered exceptional value to our readers.
