So you have finally made a plan to travel and the only constraint you face is the budget. Let me tell you, traveling requires intuition and not a heavy bank account and there are several ways to go for that perfect trip with even a little money in your kitty. If luxury is not your priority, let your bucket list overflow because here is the savage list that can make your travel a fun-filled experience even when your budget is low.
Tips For Travelling On Low Budget
Most importantly, remember that you need not be rich to be able to travel. At least, you don’t need a lot of money to start with. You can travel for free with these easy tricks for a small-budget trip.
Teach English abroad:
When I was first looking for someone who could sponsor me to travel overseas I found this way to make money for traveling by teaching English overseas. Not only will you be sponsored for your travel expenses but you can also make a lot of money by just teaching the English language to non-native English speakers. What they all require is a person who can speak English fluently and in some countries a TOEFL diploma. The world is looking for teachers who can voluntarily come and join them.
Fly with free flights:
I didn’t know about this one till I got a credit card. There are so many ways to earn free or discounted flights. You can sign up for a few travel credit cards, collect miles, and then fly for free. Most cards offer sign-up rewards of more than 50,000 points — and if you are lucky enough to get both an airline card and a reward points card you can combine the two point balances and get a cheap flight faster.
Don’t ignore the deals:
There are always offers and deals going on on all the travel platforms. Sign up for all the airline and hotel mailing lists. I once got a two-day stay at the price of one from a leading hotel group. You can earn miles by dining at particular restaurants or just shopping from particular retailers.
Get accommodation in local houses (Home-stays):
By helping them with their household work, you can get your stay completely free. They can give you a room, couch, or a mattress but that will be free. This way you can not only save a TON of money but they also get you off the tourist trail and into the local life. And that’s what you love to do. You can also go camping, which is way more fun than any luxurious hotel stay.
Use local convenience:
Rather than spending on cabs and taxis, travel in local buses and trains. That can help you to save a lot of money in return for a close look at the city and locals out there. Limiting your activities to a comfortable setup is duller and you become a tourist than a traveler.
Avoid dining out:
Yes, you heard it right! Though those luxurious restaurants give you that woo feeling a budget trip doesn’t allow that. Alternatively, buy groceries and cook a nice meal that you can bring to the beach or to that trek. Breakfast, especially, is easy to cook wherever you’re staying. For lunch, you can just grab a filling sandwich and carry it in your bag. Not only will it save money, but you won’t have to wreck your day by stopping at an expensive cafe!
