I would like to share my budget friendly travel locations and tips while keeping my full time job at a bank. I always talk about long-term travel around the world, and I know that realistically, not everyone can take those kind of trips even though they want it. Here are four travel tips if you are cash strapped and/or time poor:
Choose your destination carefully!
When it comes to choosing destination for our next adventure we usually go for an option where all the tourist attractions take place. Well if you want to save money you should avoid tourist traps.
Book in advance; get the best deal!
If you are planning to visit the most popular spots, you might consider booking your stay and transportaion in advance to avoid to pay high prices on the last option where all the good deals already booked. Even though last minutes deals can be a godsend, having options to choose from while it is still available is a better deal.
Choose your flight in mid-week!
As you might know flights are more expensive at weekends and on holidays. Most people choose to fly on the weekends. If you can travel between Tuesday-Thursday you can get better deal!
Travel off-season!
Sure, you might not be able to take your vacation whenever you want, but if you have a chance to book your vacation off-season you will have a chance to save some bucks!
