Tips and Tricks to Save Money While Traveling
While we all love to travel, we do spend a lot on our trips and even blow all our savings on it. We want to help you out on this so here are some smart tips and tricks so you can save while traveling.
Find the Cheapest Flights
When booking your flight, make sure to get the cheapest dates and be aware of surprise promotions from your favorite airlines like the “piso fair” from Cebu Pacific Airlines. You can also download apps like Cheapflights, Skyscanner, and Traveloka to keep you updated on the budget-friendly and on promotional flights. This will come in handy for your next booking or trip.
Get the Right Deals
Searching for the deal and sale does not stop with the booking of the flights. You also have to search for lodging, activities, food, and experiences. There are apps that are just made for this like Trivago, Deal Grocer, Klook, and Airbnb to give you the best deals to make your life a little easier on the wallet.
Opt for the “Walking Route”
The best way to know the place you want to go to is to explore it by feet. If you’re using Google Maps when traveling, discover the scenic spots you might miss when riding a vehicle and choose the walking route instead.
Eat Where the Locals Eat
You know the saying, when in Rome, do what Romans do? This is particularly true when in comes to FOOD! Trust the locals and avoid tourists traps. Your wallet will also thank you.
Buy at the Local Grocery and Cook Food
The local grocery can help you save and experience the culture directly from the produce of the locals. If your accommodation has a kitchen, opt to eat out only once a day and then buy food you can cook at home.
Find Free Activities
Find activities that are free! An example is in Korea, some museums have free tours being conducted by Korean students who want to practice their English proficiency. Activities like this give you a chance to immerse in the culture and be part of it.
Pack a Snack
Food at the airport and airplane can be very expensive. Bringing in some snacks or a packed lunch will definitely help stretch your budget for other agendas on your trip. Be smart and save more!
These are just some of the tips and tricks that you can use for you to save up while you travel. Who says traveling and saving don’t go hand in hand? Your next adventure awaits!
