🇺🇸BE-AMERICA SERIES🇺🇸
🌟Peggy from Florida🌟

Have you ever dreamt of traveling the world but worried about the cost?

Meet Peggy Farren, a retired professional photographer who has mastered the art of budget travel. She travels for months at a time by using credit card points, house swapping and when lucky, scoring incredibly cheap airline tickets.

Peggy’s stunning Instagram photos showcase her adventures, a continuation of her pre-pandemic passion: teaching photography workshops in Florida and around the globe. However, when the pandemic hit, income from photography and renting out her Naples home disappeared.

Undeterred, Peggy sold her home and spent seven months house-sitting across the US, essentially pet-sitting while exploring new places. Even while on the road, she managed her bronchiectasis and a MAC infection, maintaining a daily self-care routine with her trusty Afflovest vest, nebulizer, and Aerobika.

Afterward, she purchased a more affordable house in Port Charlotte, Florida, which she could continue to rent out for income and still visit her mother in Naples.

In addition to airway clearance, Peggy prioritizes daily fitness and joining affordable gyms whenever possible. A favorite was working with a personal trainer while in Merida, Mexico this past winter for under $50 a month!

She usually travels solo, although occasionally friends or her son join her. While accommodations might not always live up to the Airbnb photos, her positive attitude shines through. Her true comfort comes from exploration and connecting with locals.

Upon arrival, whether in Portugal, Turkey, Spain, or Mexico, Peggy’s first order of business is finding a large pot to sterilize her airway clearance equipment.

Peggy’s story is more than just travel tips. It is a testament to resourcefulness and resilience. She’s an inspiration, proving that chronic illness or financial limitations needn’t hinder our zest for life.
