The simplest way of living and traveling as much as you can without a lot of money!
We have one way of thinking in this country and that way is: “If you want to travel you have
to be rich or you have to make a lot of money” that’s one thing I can’t share, I
mean; you don’t have to be rich to get somewhere and be happy!
There are a lot of things I’ve found on the internet, good ways to start to travel,
promotion and things that make you want to travel. I think if we find the
motivation and good information about destinations, we could make an
effort to get there. So let’s check some tips!
Start planning your trip:
You have to think about the place you want to travel. How
that place is. How you can get there. What activities will
you do there. What is the weather like. And some more
questions.
Find a place where you can stay: You can find nice
places to stay during your trip. Find those places on the
internet, if you want. For those people who don’t have
enough money, there are other options; for example, cheap
hotels, hostels, dorms, etc. they are a good option because
some of them let you use the kitchen, so you can bring your
own food and cook something!
Look for cheap tickets to fly: It Is a good option to
fly on low seasons, you can find cheap tickets and safe money. Buy your tickets at low cost
airlines. Don’t bring heavy baggage. You can use flight
searchers, as Momondo, Skyscanner, Expedia and
Hipmunk to find promotions.
The cheapest and the best way to know a place are:
Walk in, renting a bike, using urban buses.
Travel to a close city: Travel by municipal buses or local
buses, It is a good option to avoid VIP buses, they are expensive and not “very” VIP. Travel
at night, you can save the money that you could spend in a hotel room.
Try to meet local people: They can help you giving information about the most popular
places to visit, and if you are lucky that person can get you there without pay anything and
it is a way to make new friends too.
And the last one: Pack your things and go on the adventure!
