Traveling the world can be costly, especially when you`re young and broke. Lucky for you, we’re here with a few tips to help you see the world on a budget:
- Plan ahead and be flexible!
Booking your trip in advance allows you to take advantage of early booking discounts on flights, as well as allows you ample options for accommodation. This also gives you time to research countries, as visiting places in the off-season typically allows for cheaper flights and accommodations.
- Accommodation is key
Despite the luxury presented in 5-star hotels, you will more often than not only be in your room to sleep and shower. Take time to research safe and affordable accommodations, such as hostels and budget hotels, to maximise your travel experience without breaking the bank.
- Avoid tourist traps
Despite being colourful and excellently marketed, it`s important to be smart about where you go and where you eat. Take time to review places before visiting and be mindful of where the locals go. Most of the time, a restaurant or food stall filled with locals is the one worth trying.
- Entertainment
Look up free attractions, events, and sites to visit at your destination. Several places typically offer discount cards for tourists as well, which is a big benefit when travelling abroad on a budget.
While all these tips are useful. it`s important to remember than the safest way to guarantee compensation in case anything goes wrong is through travel insurance. Don`t hessitate, make the right decision and secure your travel insurance for added safety!
