Welcome to TripsWithJames—my corner of the internet dedicated to budget travel and discovery. It includes my own personal experiences and recommendations both traveling around the USA and International. I have been to 30 countries not including airports (that’s cheating). Here is a link to all the places I have been. I like to wander, so please wander around the site. Below you will find the most recent blogs and archives are on the right.

What new information can I bring you or reveal to you for your next adventure or experience? My hope is that this blog becomes a vehicle for your next adventure—something that sparks curiosity, challenges your perspective, and helps you see the world (or your hometown) a little differently.

Yet, this site is just one part of a bigger journey. TripsWithJames.com is part of the larger James R. Carey ecosystem, where I explore not just travel, but media, consulting, and creative work. If you’re curious about the full picture, head over to Jamesrcarey.com and see how it all connects.
