Five Tips To Save Money While Traveling

Published by glequericac at 12:55 am under People First, Saving Money Edit This

After some crappy vacations I learned from some mistakes and I want to share my wisdom.

1) What is Cheap, it can become Expensive: Be aware of shady promotions on the net, they will offer everything you want and it won’t come cheap at the end.

2) Bring your own medicines. Some medicines can be expensive depending on the country you are visiting and some others are sold by prescription even if in your home country they aren’t sold that way.

3) Investigate the socio-political environment of the country you are going to visit: Simple as it sounds, if you want to avoid an incident of bigger proportions you better stay away.

4) Know the places where you can buy your memorabilia or things, it is better to avoid buying something bootlegged that will turn to be more expensive in the end and a big disappointment

5) If you are traveling with babies, always be prepared and bring extra formula just in case, as well diapers. Also research with your pediatrician about how to make the experience more comfortable to your child while flying.

    The biggest tip I have for travelling cheap is travel out of season and don’t buy an inclusive tour or package. There is a LOT of discounting happening at the moment in the industry and the later you leave booking the cheaper it will be.
    Remember packages are built to save you the “trouble” of interacting with the local culture :-) Ditch the package and have a better and cheaper holiday
