Tripping Eagle — Slow, Budget Travel for Healing & Self-Discovery
Welcome to Tripping Eagle, a calm space for budget-friendly, slow travel designed for healing, clarity, and self-discovery, especially for women who want travel to feel supportive, not stressful.
If you’re here, you’re probably not just looking for a cheap holiday.
You’re looking for space.
To breathe.
To rest.
To feel like yourself again, without overspending.
You’re in the right place.
At Tripping Eagle, we focus on intentional travel: moving more slowly, spending more consciously, and choosing journeys that restore rather than exhaust you.
This is travel as self-care.
Travel that feels manageable, grounding, and meaningful.

I’m Chinyelu Karibi-Whyte, founder of Tripping Eagle.
For me, travel is not an escape, it’s a reset.
Some of our most meaningful journeys as a family weren’t expensive or perfectly planned. They were slow, budget-conscious train journeys across Europe, where the journey itself became part of the healing.
I created Tripping Eagle for women who want less rush, less noise, and more meaning in the way they travel.
Here, I share:
- realistic budget travel strategies
- calm planning approaches
- honest stories and reflections
- gentle destination guides
- reminders that joy doesn’t require extravagance
Whether you’re planning a short reset, a longer rail journey, or simply gathering ideas, you’re welcome here.
