With day to day life being barely affordable I can understand why you would think that travel is just not possible. Don’t give up and you should chase your dream of travelling the world. Here are some tips on how you can travel cheap.
The Art Of the Search
Even if you plan on hitting the road in the middle of tourist season, you can still save money on air fare and hotels. Check different online sites for discounts and deals, sometimes last minute travel can get you some wicked deals. However advance planning can get you some good results too. Always check with Google Travel/flights for the best deals.
Be Flexible
If you are trying to save money you’re going to have to make some concessions. Even little things can affect the price of your flight or hotel. Be careful if you are booking for a group of people. Travelling during the off season can save you a fortune. Also if possible be fairly flexible when it comes to hotel accommodations, you may want to try AirBNB instead of a hotel.
Be Willing to Travel
High profile travel destinations cost the most. New York City, Paris or London are all super expensive but staying even an hour outside the city can cut your travel costs by more than half. This is an excellent way of saving money. You can take all day trips into the cities to do sightseeing but sleep outside of town. You can get the best of visiting tourist destinations without the expense. then read on to choose your next holiday destination among the top 7 cheap travel destinations you should try out
Sign Up For a New Credit Card
This doesn’t mean going and paying for a lavish trip with the new credit card but a new travel type of card often comes with thousands of miles already loaded onto it. Use those miles to pay for airfare or a portion of it. Here is a video of some of the best travel cards that give you the most miles.
Don’t Overpack
One of the ways that airlines make so much money is by cutting all the services they used to have and now charging you for them. You may have to pay extra for bringing that extra suitcase or if your suitcase is too heavy. Don’t carry huge oversized suitcases and pack as light as you can, after all you want to leave some room for souvenirs anyway.
Follow these tips and you can see the world without breaking the bank.
