Long Version

Meggan is a budget traveler, writer, Travel Channel host, author, and producer based in Atlanta. After an International Business degree from the University of Georgia, she traded the briefcase for a backpack and hit the road.

First stop? Jackson Hole, Wyoming for four winters before traipsing in-and-around Europe for nearly two years, housesitting, couchsurfing, or living and working with 18 families for room and board. Next? A pivot to acting and indie comedy in Los Angeles.

But through it all? Travel and writing. Once she realized the things she knew (like free travel!) might merit a larger following, she quit Hollywood to write her first book, Everywhere for Nothing: Free Travel for the Modern Nomad.

Written word that’s funny and beautiful is an art Kaiser honed through a lifetime of random adventures and careers mixed with voracious reading and writing. Her style is succinct, comedic, and interwoven with a love of classic literature.

This love of words shines when Meggan hits the stage, too. Not the classic introverted writer, she loves getting in front of crowds to preach the good word of travel as a lifestyle and practice.

Forthcoming pursuits include a series to help young people manage money better, and a translated work of  Stoic philosophy with a respectful modern twist. Expect more from an Everywhere for Nothing series as she brings the Free Travel Movement to people—especially young people—all over the world. Find her and connect at Bossmeggan.com.

“Everywhere for Nothing, where do I begin? This book is crammed with information for the inexperienced and experienced traveler. As a frequent traveler, I was worried it would be filled with information that I already possessed, but I was very surprised on the vast amount of insider tips that were provided that I never had considered.

Meggan has a fun witty way of educating you through the nitty-gritty of travel planning answering questions you may have never thought of asking while providing personal stories from her past experiences. I highly recommend for all interested in exploring the world.”

“This is a great book for anyone who thinks travel is out of their reach. The book provides excellent information in a really informative way to the reader.  As a long time budget traveller myself I thought that there might not be any new info I could learn from the book … but boy was I wrong!  The book not only contained useful tips and tricks, but it also explained how to use the tools talked about in the book. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone who: 

• Wants to travel 
• Either has money or doesn’t have bucket loads of money 
• Anyone who does travel”

The Top Ways to Travel For Free

Warning: The world of free travel is a Pandora’s box. But it’s not complicated. The main pillars of free travel are: (1) getting there, (2) staying there, (3) exploring there, and (4) eating there. In part, this includes credit card hacking, car rental hacking, work exchange, housesitting, couchstays, and peer-to-peer sharing. There are free ways to get by every step of the way, and once we dive in, you can mix-and-match as you please!

My Story

I’ve traveled all my life, often as a solo female, in tons of different circumstances. I’ve hosted people in the States, then stayed with them years later in their own country. I’ve slept on the floor with rats while helping build a Spanish Cathedral. I’ve lived with 18 different families. I’ve lived alone in the Italian countryside while taking care of alpacas. Eaten fresh backyard goat milk at every meal for weeks. There are a few minor eyebrow-raisers, but most of my life has been filled with travel magic and inspiration.

Specific Free Travel Methods

Let’s zone in on just a few of the many free travel methods: Housesitting, travel hacking, couchstays (couchsurfing), hitchhiking, work-exchange, budgeting, car rental hacking, tourism tips, or eating tips.
