Here are 8 money-saving hacks that I home can save you as much money and give you the freedom to travel more often.

Check One Way Tickets Before Booking a Round Trip: Pretty self-explanatory but surprisingly many people don’t even bother to look. Buying one-way tickets give you more freedom when choosing flight times, and is a great option if you don’t have set travel plans. So, next time before purchasing a round trip ticket, take a few minutes to do your research – it could pay off.
Pack Lightly: This is most travellers biggest struggle but the lesser bags you pack, the less or no extra charge you pay. If you have the normal kg and carry on without any excess, you would not have to pay any extra money
Bring and/or Buy Your Own Groceries: It’s no secret that one of the most expensive and enjoyable aspects of travelling is the food but packing some of your own groceries can really save a lot of money. If you’re flying, you can pack some dry, packaged foods that you can snack on seeing as airport food is extremely overpriced. Driving or travelling by road is even better as you can pack more.
Plan your Transportation: Do your research and calculate the costs of renting a car, taking a taxi or using public transportation. It all depends as to where you’re travelling and how spread out all of your destinations are
Consider Airbnb: Live like a local with Airbnb housing options: apartments, condos, houses, and guest houses. It is a more cost-effective and authentic way to travel, as well as more intimate. Check for our posts on Airbnb to help you further.
Find Free Activities: No matter where you’re travelling, every destination has free attractions. You can check out TripAdvisor and see what there is to do; they list museums, nature exhibits, and popular tourist spots, as well as guided tours and their prices.
All-Inclusive Resorts and Cruises: There are many different levels of resorts just as there are with hotels. They are rated based on a 5-star system, making these trips accessible to everyone no matter their budget. The total cost is paid upfront and typically includes the room, all food and drinks, and occasionally the flight or additional transportation as well. This is a very popular choice when working with a tight budget because there are no hidden fees – you pay once and that is it.
