Whether you have a burning question about a destination, want to share your own budget travel win, spotted something on the site that needs updating, or just want to tell me about the best $4 meal you ever ate — I genuinely love hearing from readers.
Fill in the form below and I will get back to you within 2–3 business days.
What Can I Help You With?
✈ Travel Questions Planning a trip and need honest advice? Ask me anything. I have been to 43 countries and I am not going to give you a generic answer.
💰 Budget Breakdowns Want to know what something actually costs? I keep notes on everything. If I have been there, I can give you real numbers.
🤝 Collaborations & Partnerships If you represent a travel brand, hotel, airline, tourism board or travel product and think we would be a good fit — I am open to genuine partnerships. Please read the Sponsored Content section of my Disclaimer page first so we are on the same page about how I work.
📸 Press & Media Journalists, podcasters or content creators who want to feature ThriftyVoyage or Maya Rivers — reach out and let’s talk.
🐛 Something Broken? Found a broken link, outdated information or a mistake on the site? Please let me know. I would rather fix it than leave a reader with wrong information.
Before You Write
A few things that might save us both some time:
- For destination advice — check the blog first. I have covered most popular budget destinations in detail and the answer might already be there.
- For affiliate or advertising enquiries — I do not accept paid guest posts, link insertions or paid reviews. Please do not pitch these.
- For urgent travel advice — I am one person running this blog solo. For time-sensitive visa or safety questions, please check official government sources such as travel.state.gov (US) or gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice (UK).
