Along with my wife, Angie, I co-own Thrifty Living Travel Freedom. Our mission is to help our readers spend less so they can travel more. We focus primarily on cruising, road trips, and Wisconsin travel with our content.
We focus on our blog, also sharing content on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. TBEX 2024 is our 1 year anniversary of starting this blogging journey when TBEX 2023 was held in our town, Eau Claire, WI.
Lover of the outdoors and passionate about hiking and scuba diving, I also enjoy spending relaxing afternoons in picturesque places. I'm the writer and creator behind Next Stop Adventures, a Florida-based outdoor and adventure travel blog dedicated to discovering exciting outdoor travel destinations, historic sites, and adventures. My mission is to educate and inspire others to practice responsible recreation and tourism while enjoying the great outdoors. I aim to spark interest in the many incredible ways to explore a destination sustainably by embracing slow travel.

About me
I’m Tonya, an expert in planning travel with busy teenagers.
When my 2 children became teens, I noticed we connected more as a family when we traveled. We were free of daily responsibilities and distractions.
And let’s be real. Teens have a lot of distractions!
I started Detail Oriented Traveler to help other busy parents like myself plan more travel before their kids move out.
