Budget Travel for Big Fangirl Dreams

Dreaming of K-pop concerts, ramen in Tokyo, or Seoul adventures—on a budget? Broke Bento helps you travel smarter with credit card points, frugal hacks, and honest tips from a fellow fangirl

Hi! Welcome to Broke Bento

I'm just a broke girl with a bento box of dreams, proving that you don't need a huge income to see the world and chase your passions. I've traveled across Asia following my favorite idols, all while sticking to a strict budget and leveraging the power of credit card points and savvy travel hacks.

On Broke Bento, I share exactly how I do it – the credit card strategies, the budget breakdowns, the travel fails, and the unforgettable moments. My goal is to empower *you* to make your travel dreams a reality so you can chase your idols, no matter your budget.
