THE LIVING EVERY CENT TRAVEL SPONSORSHIP
More life. More possibility. Less standing on the sidelines.
We believe meaningful experiences shouldn't be reserved exclusively for those with the most disposable income.
That's where Living Every Cent comes in.
Living Every Cent is an independent creative practice exploring how we spend our time, money, attention, and energy—and what it means to live fully with the resources we have.
Paradise Has Layers is an extension of that curiosity: an invitation to explore unfamiliar places, connect with different cultures, challenge assumptions, and discover what makes an experience valuable.
Through the Living Every Cent Travel Sponsorship, we're offering a limited number of participants up to $250 off their Panama group trip package.
This isn't about traveling extravagantly. It's about creating room for experiences that might otherwise feel just out of reach.
HOW IT WORKS
Sponsorship value: Up to $250 toward the group trip package.
Who can apply: Anyone interested in participating in Paradise Has Layers who would benefit from financial assistance.
Accommodation: Eligible for both shared-dorm and private-room packages.
