Travel. . . Everyone is itching to do it- but it can be SOOO expensive. I have always been a traveler. I am a huge fan of the beach and I try to go as much as I can, but I love going and seeing new places and exploring. That being said, I have experimented in multiple ways on the best ways to save money while you travel.
Favorite travel sites : Expedia // VBRO // Airbnb // Travelocity // DELTA
3. Join rewards programs. Most hotels offer a free rewards program which will knock down the nightly rate! Airbnb offers you travel credit for referring people- literally you can get a free stay! I am a Delta reward member and it PAYS OFF. Even if you don’t get the credit cards, you can join their free Skymiles program and earn rewards that way too! It may not seem a lot in the beginning but you save where you can! I’ve looked over all the websites and Delta offers the best airline rewards and benefits in my opinion. Plus I’ve never had a negative experience with them!
4. Travel with Friends / Family! Some of the cheapest trips I’ve gone on were with a big groups of people. Now obviously this is harder if you have to fly to your desitnation BUT renting out a huge home is a great way to stay somewhere super nice for dirt cheap! Couples trips are fun because you can do stuff together but alone as well- but you’re both saving money!
5. Pack light! This is my BEST tip for if you’re flyung! Especially if you don’t have a SkyMiles card. Checking bags can add up so I would recommend getting a small bag to carry on! Delta lets you have a small suitcase or bag plus a personal item (backpack or purse).
6. Do the free stuff!! Anywhere you go where you go there always activities directed at tourists. They’re usually fun- but super expensive and time consuming because that’s where EVERYONE is! Because we’ve gone to Charleston so many times over the years, I’ve nailed down the best things to do for free there and I’ll be doing a post on that soon (so keep your eye out! 😉). When we go somewhere and wanna know all the free things to do we usually will do some googling. Then I would suggest going to that location on Instagram. For example type in Charleston SC and look through the photos- you’re bound to find businesses promoting free events or locals posting about what they did that Saturday!
Thanks for reading guys!! I hope to add more, the more I travel! Have some travel tips to share? Comment and let me know your best kept secrets!
