“Traveling more” is one of the most difficult New Year’s resolutions to stick to, especially if your budget is extremely limited. Keeping your trips on the affordable side will make it possible to hit the road more often, and these three useful tips will help you get it done.
Give Hostels a Shot
Hostels are the cheapest accommodation option on the market, and if you still haven’t given them a try—now’s the time. They may not be as fancy as five-star hostels, but that won’t bother you if you treat them as a place where you can get some rest after a long day of sightseeing.
Travel Off-Season
Unless your work only allows taking days off during the holidays, consider taking time off whenever you want and traveling off-season. Everything from accommodation to transpiration will be much cheaper, and you won’t have to deal with huge crowds of tourists during your travels.
Avoid Tourist Traps
Try to embrace a more authentic approach to travel this year, and avoid tourist traps as much as possible. Instead of waiting in long quotes for popular attractions and dining at Instagram-famous restaurants, try to explore a new city as a local and you’ll be surprised how much money you’ll save this way.
