Welcome to Travel Bargain Mama, and thank you for visiting my blog. I’m Shreejana Hickman, and I began Travel Bargain Mama to assist moms, families, and any travel enthusiasts, find the ultimate travel bargains available, family and or kid friendly activities throughout the US, around the world, or in your local area. Despite these tough economic times, we can still enjoy traveling to new and exciting places, or to a favorite city. Travel Bargain Mama was started on the premises of value, hard-to-find bargains, and getting more with less.

I currently live in Atlanta with my husband Scott, and our 2 year old son Seth. All of us love traveling, and take every opportunity to do so. Before having Seth, I worked in consumer and small business banking for 6 years, and I have a degree in finance from Kennesaw State University. Throughout college projects, and my career in banking, I’ve always been focused on saving money for my clients and businesses. Now I intend to do the same for my readers through this blog.

I was born and raised in Kathmandu, Nepal, which is in Southeast Asia. Nepal is the beautiful land of Himalayas, and where Mt. Everest stands, the tallest mountain in the world. We take a 25 plus hour flight, with 3 connections, to Nepal, once every 2 to 3 years. This blog includes writing about this and other trips, New York City, San Francisco, Orlando, Miami, Montreal, Los Angeles, India, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Bahamas, Chicago, Washington, D.C., London, Bangkok, Tibet, and many more domestic and international destinations. We live in Atlanta, but New York City is almost a second home to us as we visit family and friends about 4 to 6 times per year.

With this blog, your frugal search is over as I share many creative ideas, my years of hands-on experience and research, specific examples, as well as competitive offers for the best bargains around. Also, to all of those new parents, planning your first trip you may already be aware of the hassles involved with traveling with a new born or toddler. The trips can be quite challenging – from your baby crying hysterically in the check in line, to your toddler kicking the seat, or pulling the passenger’s hair. With my ebook filled with practical tips, and articles, I intend to make those trips a little easier, and even pleasurable. Even if you’re simply looking for a good deal or something to do this weekend in your home town, I will write about those too.
