1. Home stay is the magic !
If you know your necessities well enough, you could be comfortable anywhere. I feel luxury is overrated. Hey, before you pounce on me, let me justify the statement. If you’re not travelling with elderly or children, you can very easily trade the ridiculous sums you’d spend on a luxurious hotel for a cosy, homely experience that leaves you with surplus budget for other more interesting stuff. Most people often tend to confuse comfort with luxury and end up paying through their nose for the latter in fear of not having the former. Identify your priorities and make a compromise on facilities like WiFi, swimming pool, sauna and the likes that might actually end up being a hinderance in your experience.
2. Air Miles and coupons is where you play with!
Please be aware of the fact that more than 50% of most international travel budgets is the money spent on flying. If you’re looking to cut on your expenses and travel being smart about how and when you book your flights is a much needed step. Ideally, you should start looking for flights about 7-8 weeks before your trip as the fare is usually on the economical side.
With the online market getting competitive by the day, it’s never a wise decision to shy away from coupons, gift cards and discount opportunities too.
3. A slight adjustment can gain added advantage: public transport!
Travel is expensive. When you’re in another country and don’t know the language that well, taking private transport becomes as good as allowing yourself to submit willingly to a daylight robbery. When visiting tourist places, always give a preference to public transport. In certain places, the local authorities usually implement convenient conveyance services for tourists like tourism departments tours and HOHOs. Always be on the lookout for metros and buses if the options are available in the area. Granted these means might not be as convenient as private cabs at times, but they’re in act usually safer and end up saving precious bucks you could use for something way more significant like buying memorabilia or souvenirs.
4. Live like a local!
One of the worst kept secrets in the world is how being more approachable and friendly along with always sporting a smile is a universal way to people’s hearts! When you travel to a place, the culture of which is unknown to you, make it a point to know as much as possible about the ways of the locals which can go a long way in facilitation many of your experiences!
So, what are you waiting for? Pack your bags and get ready!
