I have a dream to visit not only the country but also the world. Along with this, I should also introduce my parents from abroad. I am sure you must have also seen this dream in your life. Seeing an influencer having fun going abroad in a film or on social media, you must have thought that I wish I could go too.
Most of us are unable to go on international trips because money is too much. The tickets for the flights are so expensive, then a lot of expenditure is spent on living, eating and travelling. But there are some such people among us too, who make 1-2 trips abroad every year. They are frugal spenders and try travel hacks to complete their bucket lists.
You can do the same; you just need to know a few travel hacks. In this article, we will share some such easy hacks with you, trying which your dream of going out will come true soon.
Book hostels
While planning abroad, choose better hostels than hotels. Hotels tend to be the most expensive thing when planning a trip, but if you skip these and book hostels, you can spend more on other activities.
Hostels, backpackers and luxury are both good options that often offer the same quality service as hotels. You can book hostels by looking at good reviews on the Internet. Here you will also get a chance to interact with travelers like you.
Make your own food
If you have chosen economic motels or Airbnb instead of hostels, then cook your food. This will do two things – you will be able to cook good homemade food according to your own and there will be no wasteful expenditure outside. We often enter such cafes during the trip, which give good content for Instagram, but their food is often expensive. Some dishes we don't even eat, so the sandwich that will cost you 12 Euros (about Rs 1000) outside will cost you 2-3 Euros (177-250 Rs) with some other things at home.
The more you travel, the more water is required. It becomes very important for trekking and hiking. If you forgot to take a water bottle from the hotel itself, then instead of buying a bottle, know about the places where tap water is available. There are also fountains in many foreign places, from where you can fill clean water. This water is potable and tap water or fountain water can be used when it is not necessary.
get travel insurance
Do you also find travel insurance a useless thing? Do you avoid insurance while booking tickets or going on a trip? Let us tell you that it is very important and when you are going out, then it must be kept. It covers risks during travel. Suppose passport or any person-related document is lost, check-in baggage etc. is lost, then it can be claimed. If you fall ill or face any other problem while travelling, travel insurance can be of great help to you.
Student ID
Students get some or the other discount everywhere. Whether going to a museum or travelling on the metro and local bus, a student ID can help you save a lot of money. Many events offer cheap tickets to students, be it a concert, a live show, etc. These prices are often the same/less than the opening tickets. The government often provides cheap entrance tickets to various tourist sites. Student tickets are usually the cheapest.
Now you will think that if you were stingy in eating and drinking then how did you travel? Arey, if you are going somewhere for 7-10 days, then spend 2 days freely. Limit your budget for the rest of the day. In such a situation, you will also be able to do the activity of your choice.
