Is it possible to travel on a tight budget? That question is often heard, and yes we’re going to say that it’s possible. For some people traveling can be a way to recharge from their daily routine, especially when they had enough of working their day job while also juggling to make sure that they have enough time to spend it with their family. So, if you’ve clicked this article you probably want to know how you can travel the world on a tight budget, and believe us it’s possible. Read more to know about the tips that we’re going to share.
Low Season
Never book on a high season as the ticket could double or even triple the original price. Even though it’s hard, make sure that you buy your ticket on the low season, a season where it is not the holiday season, and people are not vacationing around the world. We suggest that you look at the internet and see if they have discounts, sometimes airline companies might give discounts on the days where customers are not expecting it, so be on the lookout for these promos.
Accommodation
Most people like to spend their hard-earned money on a five-star hotel on their vacation, which is a waste of money. Think of your accommodation as a place where you put your things and for you to shower and rest, nothing more. With that being said, we suggest that you paid for a hotel that’s not too expensive but still safe and trusted enough. When you think about it, you’re going to spend most of your time outside, so an expensive hotel will not be worth it. We suggest trying a capsule hotel or Airbnb for cheaper accommodation.
Food
Now here’s where it gets tricky. Some people are biased on eating a specific type of food, and it can get quite expensive when you’re traveling to another country. For example, eating western food in a south-east Asian country will get pricey, and it might not taste just like how you want it. So, a tip from us to save some money on food is to buy groceries in the market and cook it for dinner back at the apartment or hotel. If you feel brave to try new things, why not ask the locals on where they can eat tasty and cheap as this will save your money for other things, such as souvenirs or entertainments.
