Hostel Stays

Staying at the hostel is the oldest money-saving trick in the book, but they’re usually more crowded than any other type of accommodation. If you’re looking for a safer alternative, consider booking a private apartment or at least a private room.

Free Tours

Free walking tours are a great way to explore a new place and meet fellow travelers, but they can be too overcrowded. The number of participants is usually limited these days, and you have to wear a mask and social distance, but exploring the city alone or joining a smaller group is also an option.

Transportation Options

The way you approach transportation shouldn’t be dictated by the price, but by safety. If ride-sharing, public transportation, or buying cheap plane tickets doesn’t feel like the right option right now, pitch in a bit more money for safer alternatives.

Keeping an eye out for plummeting prices of flights is a skill that avid travelers have probably mastered at some point. But what if you could save up and manage expenses a little better for a worthy trade-off? Making small sacrifices can eventually lead to a higher chance you’d be able to visit that country you’ve been eyeing for months.

We’re here to give you a few travel hacks and tips to make your next travel destination a reality.

Skip The Store Bought Coffee

A coffee in a store can range from $3-$4, or higher for cold brews. Taking a few minutes in the morning to make coffee (or the night before) will help you reduce your daily coffee costs. It might not seem like a lot, but after a while, the store-bought coffees can accumulate. Also, preparing the coffee the night before and leaving it in the fridge will give you an awesome cold brew without the added cost.

Download a Money Tracking App

Keeping tabs on your expenses is a great way to weigh out your buying choices. Since you’ll be able to track how much you’ve spent over the last few weeks – gauging your expenses will be much easier. There are a ton of apps you can download on your phone to track how much you’re spending and most of them are free.

Try a Side Job

Having a side job that isn’t your main priority is a great way to earn extra travel income. Dog walking, baby sitting and even teaching another language are all great ways to use your skills while saving up for your next big journey.
