Travelling On A Budget

By Poppy Hill


Everyone is looking for tips on how to go on holiday while spending as little as possible. Paying less for your holiday could mean you booking more short breaks or booking a long stay holiday. Just because you have booked a budget holiday does not reflect on the type of holiday you will have but instead think of the savings you will make.

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.

A good way of seeing your town would be to rent an inexpensive booked in advanced with your friends who can all split the cost of the rental with you and you can all arrive together at the same time to your next point of call. The local transport is always a good way to go as the cost of travelling by train or bus will be inexpensive in most countries.

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.

One good tip is to try and split your journey where possible. This may sound a little silly to you but when I say you can make savings of over 1000 or $1000 by splitting your journey , you will sit up and take notice. A long haul flight can be a bit tedious so why not look at taking two separate flights and having a stop over for 1 or 2 nights to break up the journey. Even by stopping overnight at a midway point you will make a saving of around 1000 or less and also have an additional city break into the bargain.

Book a long stay in a winter sun resort not only will this make you feel great over the cold winter months back home but also save on utility bills from back home. Good offers include being away for anywhere up to 50 days at a time but can also include short breaks which are often reduced in price compared to the summer when the resorts are at their busiest. Have a look out for any deals going and be sure to have your bag packed all through the winter.

Don't follow the crowd instead go in the opposite direction and save money. New horizons beckon when thinking of a vacation and steer away from the flock by thinking outside the box. Hip and upcoming places are always expensive instead think of places where no or few visitors think of going or places where they may be hosting events in the future and are starting to plan ahead by refurbishing now and offering good deals.

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.
