How to travel on a budget
Who never said one day: my dream is to travel all around the world? But once you have taken a look at your bank account you just changed your mind and buried that idea in a corner of your head hoping that one day you will have the necessary nest-egg to do it.
We all would like to travel the world, alone or with people. But this kind of happiness has a price and sometimes we cannot afford to go as far and as long as we would like to. Whether you are a student or an adult, sometimes you have a tight budget and that is why you have to postpone your desire to escape.
Travelling is going on a journey to discover new lands, new civilizations, new cultures and new ways of living. To immerse ourselves in the local culture, there is nothing better than trying to live like an autochthone. Indeed, not everybody can afford the all-inclusive hotel. So here are some tips to go abroad without breaking the bank and enjoy as much as possible a trip with friends or family.
Organisation is the watchword. The only way to compare prices and benefit from the most advantageous offers is to plan your trip in advance. To do so, some well-known websites exist, whatever it is to book a flight or a hotel such as liligo.com, jetcost.com, edreams.com, booking.com. But depending on your destination check what is more interesting, to take a flight, a train or a bus? Alternatives always exist, some will take you longer to get to your destination but it would usually be cheaper. When it comes to accommodations, think about Airbnb or hostels. But if you feel adventurous you can also couchsurfing. It is an easy way to travel as you will have a stay for free and as you will directly meet the locals.
Wherever you will go, you will always find good places to eat and visit on a budget, just do your research before you leave. Thus, you may avoid the crowd of tourists and the most expensive places. Remember that if you are under 25 and you are still a student, you will have more benefits, like free museums or vouchers. You can also go abroad to work as an au pair or seasonal worker.
Travelling is being organised, a little bit creative and reckless. Then you will see, the trip will only be better.
