2. Consider the type of accommodation
If you want to cut costs on your trip, minimize the money you spend on accommodation. Instead of staying at a resort, you can choose hotels and motels with cheaper prices and preview reviews of rooms and services on travel websites. Take advantage of your relationships with friends and relatives to ask to stay for a few days if possible.
In some countries today, forms of homestay (stay with local people) ) or couchsurfing (stay on a sofa). With this form of couchsurfing, you and your host will exchange accommodations with each other when you visit the other person's country. Of course, with this form, you must consider carefully when choosing the person you come to stay with to ensure absolute safety.
3. Do not go on holidays, holidays, and Tet
On holidays, holidays, and Tet holidays, the prices for travel tickets, accommodation, and services increase unreasonably, two or three times more than what you expect. Not sure to get good service. To avoid paying these fees, travel on weekdays, when motels and hotels have excess space, and plane and train tickets are super cheap. In particular, the destination will be very deserted and visitors will have a complete, quiet, and meaningful vacation.
4. Go close to home
When you don't have much money to travel, choose a place close to home. This seems obvious but not everyone follows it. Usually, tourists like to look abroad, prefer to go to "European heaven" rather than explore within their own country. However, just by choosing the location and service carefully, a trip to a tourist destination right in your hometown or near where you live can become an unforgettable memory.
5. Consider transportation
Everyone likes to fly because it is fast, saves time, and has good service. But if you regularly choose this service to travel, you will soon be out of business. If your passion for travel is greater than your need for comfort, consider cheaper means of transport that still get you where you need to go, such as trains, cars, and motorbikes.
6. Stay away from the "middle bridge"
When booking airline tickets or motels, go to their website or contact them directly by phone or email instead of booking through an intermediary. These middlemen save you from having to worry about the procedure but will reduce your wallet somewhat! When you don't have enough economic conditions, "take your work for profit"!
7. Stay in just one spot
When you arrive at a tourist destination, fully explore that place before going to neighboring cities and towns. For example, when coming to Rome, don't rush to visit Pescara because just exploring this "eternal city" can keep you busy all week!
8. Look for promotions at your destination
Even in the places you travel to, there are many stops, affordable services, and promotions. Buy public transportation tickets for tourists, bring your student card (if you have one) to enter some museums and libraries. Find information on the internet in advance about destinations with no entrance fees, or low fees such as art museums, art galleries, parks...
9. Go to the market
Instead of walking around supermarkets and large shopping centers, visit the markets. Here, prices are much cheaper, items are diverse from furniture, food to antiques and you can completely bargain. If you don't want to buy anything, an afternoon stroll around the market will also make you relax and comfortable.
10. In Europe, go to the countryside
Do you dream of traveling to Europe once? Choose destinations in rural areas. These tourist areas are more beautiful, poetic, more deserted, and the prices are not as "sky high" as in big cities.
