Start from here:
1: Choose your destination carefully
Some places are natch more expensive or cheaper than where you call home. My first tip for travelling on a budget is to research places that are good for travelling on a budget. Maybe it’s somewhere that’s inexpensive and easy to get to, somewhere where the currency gets you good value because of the exchange rate, or somewhere that has a lower cost of living than home!
2: Pack Properly
Make sure you lead everything you need so that you don’t have to shop while you’re away. No affair where you’re heading, take at least one pair of long jeans, warm hoodie and waterproof jacket for unpredictable weather incidents.
3. Get a local SIM
Mob data or paying for WiFi abroad can be extortionate. Number one to save money when you’re travelling is to get a local SIM card with locally priced data packages. You’ll want the data for steer your way around and keeping in touch with home!
4: Don’t eat out all the time
Next tip for travelling on a budget is to shop at the supermarket and cook for yourself. Factor taxing some local delicacies into your budget (if you can), but beyond that, prepare your own food. Most hostels have kitchen facilities that are available for everyone to use. There glory even be a shelf with leftover food from backpackers that have moved on!
5: Be aware of ATM charges
ATMs can cost a lot of money to withdraw and exchange your money. However, it is usually the case that it’s cheaper to take money out on your travels than it is to get it exchanged before you go. To avoid cost, take as much money as you can afford to lose out at once. The other you take out, the less often you’ll pay the charge, but there’s more to lose/have stolen! If you have lots of money, put it in different parts of your bag/pockets, and leave some in a locked, secure space at your accommodation.
6: Bring your own water bottle and coffee cup
Taking your own water bottle means you can fill up for free from fountains, cafes or mountain springs & having your own coffee cup often gets you a discount!
7: Work as you travel
A clear way to save money while you’re travelling is to earn money doing it! Many hostels offer free or deduct rate accommodation if you put in a few shifts, and there’s also the option of bartending, teaching abroad, or getting a working holiday visa.
8: Always visit the local tourism office
They know about everything going on in town. They can tip you to free activities, special events happening during your stay, and everything in between. They even offer discounts on attractions and transportation. It is their job to help you impression of the destination better. It’s astonishing how many travelers skip this when they are visiting somewhere but, as a savvy traveler, you know to use this resource! This is perhaps one of the most underused travel tips in the world. Use the tourism board! Save money!
9: Get travel insurance
Travel protection is the most important thing you get that you never want to use. If something goes wrong, you don’t want to be out thousands of dollars in bills. It will be there if you get steal, flights get canceled, you get sick or injured, or have to be sent home. It’s comprehensive &, for just a few dollars a day, one of the best investments you can get for a trip. You may think you’re great person but so did my friend who broke her arm, didn’t have insurance, and had to pay thousands out of pocket. Protection was there when I had to replace my camera and when I popped an eardrum scuba diving! Get it! Here are some points on how to find the best travel insurance.
10: BRING EAR PLUGS AND A SLEEP MASK
Travel isn’t help-full for sleep, whether it’s snorers in dorm rooms, early risers rustling plastic bags, or drunk backpackers stumbling around in the middle of the night. Even if you don’t bide in hostels, you’ll still have to deal with street noise from outside, loud bars nearby, and uncomfortable overnight journeys. Pack some ear plugs and a sleep mask in your bag to help improve your sleep.
11: VISIT THE TOURISTY STUFF IN A CITY
The main tourist charm are popular for a reason. While getting off the bashed track can be fun, the things you’ll see are rarely as impressive as the popular sights. Don’t be a tourist snob — hit up the famous stops as well as the lesser-visited stuff. Going to random places normally just shows you that they aren’t well-know
