MY STORY

Founded in 2019 by Alycia L. Austin (aka Your Frugal Friend)

Currency Canvas started as a way to document the journey of a broke, two-time college dropout trying to find her way.

After 30 jobs, being fired five times and never finding that “dream job”, Alycia decided to create a lifestyle encompassing travel and financial freedom. She learned how to manage her finances in a way that worked for her and became debt free at age 26 on a 30,000k salary with frugal vibes.

She’s traveled to 29 countries (and counting), helping people break free from the shackles of their minds and the shackles of debt so they can spread their wings and live life to the fullest.
