How To Travel The World On A Budget

By Joseph Tranturder


So, you are probably interested in traveling and seeing all the world has to offer. The good news is you don't need to be a millionaire to do it; you just have to have a bit of knowledge on how to make your money go farther. Without further ado, let's go over how to travel the world on a tight budget. First stay away from expensive countries.

If you want to start traveling now without having to wait years to save up money stay away from countries where the cost of living is high. You would be amazed how a stay in England will only last two days while that same money could be used to stay a week or longer in Peru.

The exact tips and helpful hints on how to best travel with your pet in the car will depend on the type of animal, but consider the following few tips for traveling with dogs in the car and adapt them to your pet if needed.

Get Ahead with To Do's Before you head on your vacation, make a few goals on things you would like to get done before you leave. The idea is to get ahead at work or on errands at home so when you return you can gradually get back into the swing of things rather than being pushed underwater with the amount of work to do. Some things to think about doing before you leave could include cleaning the house, checking something on the car, getting next week's reports finished, and emptying the fridge before you leave.

Take advantage of Wi-Fi hotspots in your travels to check your email, stay in contact with family and friends or to look up questions you may have about the country. When it comes to contacting people stick with email or Skype using those free Wi-Fi hotspots. If you do choose to use your phone make sure that it is unlocked and don't make roaming calls with your plan as the international calling will cause you a fortune. Buy small sim cards in the street and use them to make calls at normal rates.

Proper planning for the trip with the pet included will likewise need to be made before embarking on the journey. Perhaps the most important preparation that will need to be made while traveling with a pet is to ensure that the hotels you are planning to stay at are pet friendly, as not all are.

Credit cards have large international fees and traveler's checks have their own fees making both options poor choices. Check with your bank and probably shop around to find a bank that offers very small charges for taking cash out at foreign ATMs. You can keep a couple hundred dollars (of whatever currency you are using) on you and use your debit card to get more cash when you need it. The biggest part of travel is obviously the traveling part and that usually is done via air travel. Find the super cheap rates before purchasing.

Do this by shopping out of season, searching early, and finding small carriers that will offer better fares. Put a little bit of time into this and you could save hundreds. If the country you want to visit is connected to yours by land then travel by land. Public transportation like buses and trains will be loads cheaper than private land transports or flying. If you manage to sleep during the trip you won't need to look for a hotel either!

In addition, while it seems to be one of their favorite past times, owners should not allow their dog to stick their head out the windows while traveling at high speeds because the wind and particulates in the air have the ability to damage the dogs eyes, nose, and face. By following these few basic tips, a pet owner will be able to successfully and safely travel with their pet in tow.
