Cheap Travel Tips - Part 2



A few months ago I posted part one of a cheap travel tips series and it was very well recieved. So I decided to keep it going. Here is part two of some of the things I do while traveling and before traveling to save some money :)


26. Eat the street food, its much cheaper and often much better

27. Pre drink......but I am sure most of you do this at home to!

28. When you go out partying, take out an allowance and don't spend more!

29. Don't be afraid do bargain. It is expected in some places!

30. Getting some pre-paid money cards can reduce the withdraw charges from  your bank.

31. Free calling apps are a god sent, my favorite is Viber. Free text/call with wifi.

32. Make sure your hostel has free wifi. This is key!

33. Google free things to do in your destination, you would be surprised how any free activities there are.

34. Have a budget book and write down every cent you spend!

35. Before you leave go through all of your belongings and sell all of the unwanted items you can!

36. Pack travel pillow, earphones and an eye mask. Trust me!

37. Always have snacks on you. Just like at home buying from a grocery store is much cheaper then a convenience store or a vending machine.

38. Pay your check in fees online not at the airport, sometimes when you arrive for your flight the check in fees get bumped up in price.

39. Go to the tourist info center. You will get a free map and alot of the time learn about some really cool stuff to do!

40. Make your own travel size toiletries. Buying things small is expensive.

41. Try not to plan toooooo much, the more you go with the flow the better the trip will be.

42. If your hostel has free breakfast try and make yourself some lunch/snacks to take with you....hey every little bit helps!

43. Make larger withdraws to avoid multiple fees.

44. Send post cards not souviners.

45. Try and keep the "drinking nights" to a minnimum. you will save money and never be hung over :) Unless the drinks are free....then drink away :)

46. Always have water, avoid buying at train stations and other expensive spots.

47. Carry one book at a time.

48. Trade your book at hostels.

49. Avoid tourist traps they can be so expensive and not always worth it.

50. Try not to go back and fourth in your travels. Travel slow and dont miss a thing :)
