Lindsay Buckley

Lindsay Buckley is an American travel blogger and photographer based in Sydney, Australia, writing and photographing on her platform, Frugal Frolicker. She specializes in conscious outdoor travel, emphasizing adventurous experiences that prioritize thoughtful spending. This approach minimizes non-essential expenses, allowing for greater investment in travel activities and extended journeys. This method sets her work apart from traditional budget travel, focusing instead on maximizing experiences through strategic spending. With a background in investment banking and online advertising, Buckley transitioned to travel blogging and wedding photography, a move driven by her commitment to these passions. Through Frugal Frolicker, Buckley shares detailed guides on outdoor adventures, including hikes, road trips, and scenic bike rides across Australia, the USA, and other global destinations. Her work, marked by a photojournalistic style, also explores conscious living and beach escapes, often featuring insights into local culture through elements like street art and coffee. Buckley contributes to publications like Matador Network and advocates for the accessibility of travel even while managing financial commitments. She illustrates this by chronicling her own experiences traveling extensively while paying off student loan debt. She favors a slow travel style, often working remotely while exploring destinations for extended periods.
