Travel Story: Living in Hotels Full-Time on a Weekly Budget of $500 with Ashley McCurdy

Season #4 Episode #7

My guest this week is Ashley McCurdy. 

After losing her job, she got rid of my apartment in Los Angeles to travel the world and live in hotels (usually Marriott) full-time and vlog about her experiences on her YouTube channel.

In 2020, she stayed 103 nights at Marriott properties for $4356, a $42 nightly average which included properties like the Ritz Carlton in Cancun & W in Midtown Atlanta.

She is passionate about teaching others how affordable travel can be while sharing her experiences as she continues to travel, eat, explore, and live in hotels full-time for $500 per week.
