10 Secret Travel Tips that will Save your Money

Travel more often is probably one of the New Year’s resolutions every one of us make. But are we really able to do it? No, the foremost reason being expensive flights and stays. Well with a proper trip planner or by making a travel itinerary, you can travel much often and also save on your money. Travelling cheap and saving is an art which every one of us can practice and master.

Here are 10 secret travel tips that will save you money


1) Advance Bookings- If you haven’t heard of eight week rule for booking of flights, you are missing on something much valuable. It is advisable to book your tickets eight months prior to your tip to get the cheapest rates possible. Also booking them on Tuesdays is always a good idea as most of the people don’t book their flights on Tuesdays. Booking your flights in advance helps your trip plan execute smoothly.

2) Travel slowly- This is one of the things many people miss out on. We are always in a hurry when in a foreign country. Understand that you can’t see all of it in one trip. Slow down; explore the unknown part of cities. The more number of days you stay in a place, you are more likely to get a discount on your stay which saves you some money. Also, if you are planning to stay long, you can even work, earn and come back home with some extra cash. Sounds amazing right?

3) Carry food- Prices of food in planes are sky high. Therefore, it is always a good idea to keep some snacks and packed food in planes.

4) Stay Cheap- Sometimes staying cheap in a small hotel is way more fun than in a five star luxurious suite. Also, there are amazing options like staying at locals. You can make your trip experience more exciting by staying at a local’s place and sharing your dinner with them listening to their stories.

5) Eat local- Having local food is the kind of fun many people tend to miss out on. Local food sometimes is way tastier and has the flavor and culture of the country than that of expensive restaurants. This helps you understand the food of the country better and also save money at the same time.

6) Walk – Walking into unknown streets, meeting new people, having conversations with them is what travel is about. And you know what, talking a decision to walk to places whenever possible instead of transport always saves you, and the experience is far more amazing.

7) Don’t over pack- We always tend to pack things we usually end up not using for our trip. Pack the materials that are most important. This makes your luggage less heavy by thus saving you some money on luggage counter.

8) Stay Free –
Yes, you heard it right. You can actually go to a country and join WWOOF and work on the organic farms in return of stay and food. Sounds cool right? You can register to one while making your travel plan.

9) Travel apps- There are various number of trip planning applications which helps you plan a trip according to your budget as well as needs saving you much more than you think. Having one of them to plan your trip is always advisable as the app shows you the updated prices and rates of everything at a click.

10) Research-
The most important factor in saving money while travelling is doing your research well in advance.

Lastly, you don’t have to think much about money while travelling but always remember the amount of experiences you collect from your trip are far more valuable than what money can buy you.
