About Me

Hey, I'm MK! 👣

I’m the explorer behind Barefoot Explorer 99, a solo traveler, part-time teacher, and full-time lover of simple adventures.

This blog was born out of necessity — I didn’t have thousands to spend on luxury hotels or first-class flights. But I still wanted to see the world. So I figured it out the cheap way, and I’m here to help you do the same.

From dusty buses in Laos to $3 noodles in Thailand, I share every tip, win, fail, and budget hack so you can confidently travel on your terms — with less money and more meaning.

Whether you're a student, solo female traveler, or just tired of waiting to “afford” travel — welcome. You belong here.
