Traveling
is a luxury for the mind and soul, there is a certain romance hidden in this
search for the new. Most people tend to find traveling cheap difficult, a
budget travel is not an easy fete to achieve, the reason being that traveling
includes a lot of things. We tend to imagine that to travel means to burn a
hole in our pockets, but is it so? Can’t we enjoy the thrill of a new place
without feeling the financial crunch? Here is a look at ten best ways to travel
cheap:
Pack Light
Pack Light
There are
so many advantages to packing light, to start with you will save the services
of a ‘coolie’ if you are traveling by train, and also avert the extra charges
for baggage if you are flying. Additionally by packing light you will save
yourself the trouble of lifting heavy weight.
Avoid Weekends
If you are taking the flight then do not be flying on weekends and public holidays as they tend to be more expensive. Book for weekdays and look out for deals that come up from time to time.
Stay Cheap
You are
traveling, you aren’t really thee to enjoy five star luxuries and so be sure to
stay at a reasonable costing hotel. In any case if you are really a traveler
then you will only want to see and look around when at a new place only to come
to the hotel to sleep. Therefore, be sure not to waste money on staying at an
expensive hotel.
Package
Holidays

Be a
Local
When you
are traveling to a new place, the essence of the place comes out only when you
live like a local, so what the locals do and enjoy what is indigenous to that
place. Find out the local foods and the local drink and enjoy these local
flavours. A lot of things local are also cheap!
Off Seasons

Do-it-yourself approach
Negotiate
Learn to negotiate and do not be shy when doing so, you are a traveler, not a prince, so it is only normal. You know your own budget and do not surpass that, it is fine to negotiate as you will realize that most times you will get a good deal.
Take
Friends Along
You may find this a little difficult, as convincing someone could be a massive task, but never the less you should give a try. Bring a friend along with you for the trip, there are so many things that you could split, and that will bring down your budget to a great extent.

Go Rural
The essence of a new place mostly lies in its rural parts; cities are after all the same. Fancy lights, pubs, and authentic foods at expensive restaurants, so why the city? You can definitely make a halt to see the cities, but head to the rural areas for the real and cheaper deal.
