Many people would live to go ravelling but have little or no money saved up to allow them to go. Once you get in to the role of having a full time job and / or a family and have more responsibilities it can be very hard to put all of that on hold to go travelling, so many people like to take a year out after or in-between studies to go.
There are ways in which you can save money when going travelling. Below are a few of the top ways to cut down your travelling budget:
Off Peak Travel – travelling at off peak times of the year and times of the day even, can save you a small fortune. It is important to remember that not all countries have the same peak and off peak seasons so you check this prior to booking your trip.
Choose your accommodation wisely – Yes it may be nice to have all the luxuries that the top end hotels offer, but if you are simply looking for somewhere to get your head down at night then I would strongly recommend staying in a hostel.
Venture somewhere different – Rather than hitting all the popular touristy spots which usually cost a fair bit, why not chose to visit some places that are a little off the beaten track, not only will you save money but you may end up getting an all-round better experience.
