Travel is known as one of the best ways to get out of your comfort zone, but it can also be expensive. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly trip, here are my tips for how to travel more affordably:
The Right Visa
The visa restrictions for each country vary. You can check the visa requirements on your own or use an online tool like VisaHQ or TravelVisaPro, but if you’re unsure about whether or not you’ll need a visa, it’s best to contact the embassy directly in order to get accurate information.
In addition, visa restrictions change all the time–sometimes without notice. For example: in 2016, Egypt changed its policy regarding Americans’ ability to enter the country without first obtaining a visa; as of 2017, Americans must obtain visas before visiting Egypt (and vice versa). The same thing happened between Canada and Mexico earlier this year; Canadians now need visas when traveling south of their border due to new regulations set forth by both governments that went into effect earlier this month
The Best Time to Travel
There are a number of ways to save money on your travels. The best way is to travel during the off season, which generally means traveling during the summer months or when it’s cold outside.
In addition to saving money on flights, you can also cut costs by staying at hostels and eating at food trucks instead of restaurants.
Airbnb vs. Hotels
Airbnb is a great option for budget travelers. It’s more affordable than hotels, and you get to stay in neighborhoods that are off the beaten path. You’ll also have access to amenities like a kitchen, laundry facilities, and Wi-Fi–all things that can make your trip more comfortable and enjoyable.
If you want to save money by staying in an Airbnb instead of booking a hotel room, here are some things to consider:
- Your host will likely be more responsive than any front desk staff at a hotel would be if something goes wrong during your stay (and something always does).
- Hosts often offer extras such as free breakfasts or snacks; these little touches go a long way toward making guests feel welcome!
Splurge on Food
When you’re traveling, you’ll want to try as much of the local cuisine as possible. But don’t be afraid to splurge on food when you find a good restaurant. If there’s one thing that will make your trip memorable, it’s eating at a place with amazing food and drinks!
When dining out in an unfamiliar city, ask locals where they go when they want something good–they’ll know exactly where to take you!
Use Apps to Get Around
There are a number of apps that can help you get around.
- Use public transportation. Public transportation is cheap, but it’s often not very convenient or easy to use. If you’re traveling with luggage and/or large bags, this will be especially difficult for you. However, if you’re staying in one place for a while and don’t plan on moving around much, then public transportation might be perfect!
- Use ride-sharing apps like Uber and Lyft (or Lyft Line). These services allow users to request cars from drivers who have signed up for the app through their smartphones–you can choose from several different types of vehicles including taxis/limos as well as regular cars driven by private citizens who have been vetted by these companies’ employees beforehand so they know they’re safe drivers with good ratings from other customers before picking them up themselves.*
