Hi Rachel,

Very nice of you for sharing it.

Travelling is a cause of spending, and its hard to save while travelling but for regular travellers it is important to save. lots of expenses are compulsary while travelling in which you can’t cut or reduce but there are also many ways by which one can save or can stay on budget.

The tips here described by you are great and meaningful and by following them one can easily save a lot on any trip. Making bookings smartly and travelling on off-season’s are the best way to save on a trip.

Thanks for posting it.
Have a nice day.

I like your tip to take longer trips. Taking a longer trip will let you actually relax during the trip, since you won’t be trying to cram as many places as you can in a short time frame. Plus, as you said, it will allow you more time for slower transportation; after all, it’s about the journey, not the destination, right? Thanks for the travel tips!

Awesome tips and great share @Rachel Jones!! I love your ideas..actually, It is a given that a good amount of money is needed during any kind of trip abroad, whether for business or pleasure.
Many travellers, however, fail to realise that unexpected expenses often take up most of the budget when travelling, which is why it is always a good idea to know how to save money during your trip and you gave us nice ideas @Rachel Jones. Thanks for sharing these great tips!!

Love these ideas! We generally try to stay in a hotel with at least a fridge if not a fully equipped kitchen to eat breakfast at home, and sometimes lunch. It’s not as glamorous as eating out for every meal but it really does add up in savings!

Great tips. I always start off with a budget app but never stick to it. Still I think it puts me into good habits and I get a better idea of how much I’m spending so even when I’m no longer keeping track via the app I still feel like I know if I’m splurging a ton or doing alright!

I love tip number 4, I was just on a cruise ship and I couldn’t believe all the possible prices for seasickness medicine on the ship, at ports, outside of the ports, and all of them more than at home. Your money tracking tip is also super helpful, and way more manageable than writing every little thing down.

In reply to Nat. Thanks Nat, great tips. Taking local transport saves tons of money.. taxis are a budget killer!

All great tips. Travel off season is my favourite. Not only do you save money but you ted to get a better and more realistic sample of local life.

Great Tips Rachel!!
I will add one for item: Go Local!! Try to eat at local restaurants, sleep in small and local hotels/hostels, public transport instead of taxi… Ask what and where the buy stuff, not where they recommend to you… I learnet that everythime I ask for recommendation people tend to send me to tourist places (expensive restaurants, fany shops, etc), but if I ask where they go and what they enjoy to do, than you ill get the correct answer. What means you gonna save money e enjoy much more!

Happy Travels!!

Great tips definitely the ATM’s fees can add up quickly. I’ve got a bank that is fee free which has saved me plenty of times and don’t have to worry about carrying tons of cash.
