The Top way to travel on a budget

[michael123]

When traveling on a budget it’s best to keep in mind the following points:
1. Travel in the off-peak seasons. You can save up to as much as fifty per cent off air flights and accommodation costs if you plan to travel in low season times.
2. Stay away from popular tourist spots (unless they are on your ‘must-see’ list). If you can go off the beaten track with your destinations, things can be cheaper to see and do and your cultural experiences will be richer.
3. Try camping. Not only is it the cheapest form of accommodation it’s a great way to get up close and personal to nature. It’s the best way to see National Parks and Heritage listed areas.
4. Look for special travel offers (or packages). But make sure you check everything that they include - and don’t include.
5. Invest in a travel pass where you are able. Most developed countries have a rail or bus transport system where you can obtain day, week or monthly passes that will get you around cheaply.
6. Get a work permit if you aim to gain employment while traveling overseas. Working can help subsidize places that aren’t so cheap, such as Europe and Australia.

I don't know about Australia, but it is NOT easy to get a work permit in Europe for Americans. Canadians might have luck through the Commonwealth scheme, but Americans are going to have a very hard time.

For me, traveling on a budget is very much about keeping a budget. I try to use every opportunity I can to reduce the cost of my travels, be it a market lunch, a night on a stranger's couch, cheap activities, or drinking the local beer.

I find that living simply when abroad makes the opportunity for travel (for most people) more realistic and opens many opportunities to make genuine connections with new and interesting people.
