You don't have to be rich to Travel well" -Eugene Fodor.
Exploring is an art , a satisfaction within and experience for life.To travel the world, to interact and appreciate the hugeness is on the bucket list of every explorer .Every dream to become reality ,demands one among many; money.So here I am sharing a few tips to travel on budget.
FLIGHT
Flight prices are dynamic in nature.Book tickets as soon as decide with the destination and dates.The prices increase manifold with the date of departure nearing.Paying over the odds before you’ve even left home is usually a bad start to your gap year budgeting.
TRAVEL KIT
It is always suggested to travel light.Don't carry unnecessary stuff.This cuts down the cost.Carry basic needs like sleep requirements , walking shoes etc.Outdoors shops always have sales on so don’t buy anything full price unless you’ve left everything to the last minute. Also, ask for discounts.
TRANSPORT
Once you land down to your destination.What next?Local commutation is an important part.Try out public transport .This helps interact with locals and exchange of culture and ideas.If opting for private transport, pool it
ACCOMMODATION
Cost cutting can be done in accommodation.Prefer comfortable and cheap hostels over hotels.If you can compromise comfort , prefer overnight journeys.This becomes less expensive.It may not be the best night sleep you’ll ever have, but it’ll save you paying for a hostel.
SIGHTSEEING
Every destination has its "must see"places.Check out the tourist days and free days and the make fare comparison.If you intend to book tours rather than doing things yourself, look around.Don’t arrive in the first shop you see and accept the price. You can usually barter for money off or get extra activities included.
FOOD
World cuisine is culturally nourishing and life-enriching, and it’s also life-sustaining. It’s easy to get carried away when you’re travelling and forget to put enough (natural) fuel in your body.Try out local cuisine as it gives a amazing Taste of culture.Eat at famous places.Cooking yourself is yet another a good option.
"Life is short and the world is wide"
So let yourself in the amazing voyage of discovery and experience.
