Travelling on the cheap does not mean you need to miss out on all the fun. Opposite in fact is true as you can travel more frequently or possibly stay for longer. Think about the joy you will feel knowing you paid about half price or less than other passengers sitting on the same plane.
Think about booking a hostel for accommodation especially if you are travelling alone and are unsure about hotels and apartments. One good benefit is that you will meet other like minded travellers from around the globe. Not only save money on digs but also make some new friends.
Renting a car is an ideal way of travelling around and would work out inexpensive if there are a few of you travelling together heading in the same direction. Alternatively there are good bus and train systems available you may perhaps consider using any one of them.
Thinking of two ways of getting to your destination fairly cheaply and they would be either to vamp up your plans and make them a lot more entertaining or find a good website which offers cheap deals.
Have you considered staying mid way to your final destination. Often long haul flights generate a stop for a few hours in an airport about half way or two thirds of the way to your holiday destination. Search the web for cheap flights to both the end journey and stopping mid way at another spot to split the journey up. You will be amazed at the amount of money you will be able to save even although you are booking two flights and having to spend a night in a hotel. The added bonus is seeing another city going and changing your stop over on the return flight.
One of the tips a good friend said to me was to have your bag packed during the winter and any good deals head south for the winter and enjoy the sun for a few weeks or a couple of months if you can take your work with you even better if you are retired. Sometimes the winter resorts will offer good deals on a 28 or 56 day rate which will work out cheaper than staying for a 1 week in the summer at the same resort. This will also save you on fuel bills back home by being away for the winter.
Why follow the crowd when you can go wherever you want for half the price. Instead of going where the crowds go for their holiday why not try a new place which will work out far cheaper than the normal busy resorts and much more exciting to visit. Try doing a little research into a different country or area and you will be amazed at the prices and placed you can visit for less than the trendy popular resorts which always hike their prices up when they see the crowds coming over to stay.
Finally the obvious one which is take advantage of any family member who is going on holiday and stay in a different part of the world for you. This saves on hotel bills but also the chance to stay in a home away from home. Have a safe and happy trip.
