You just need to be a little creative with the planning for your trip. Get
familiar with free apps on your phone for maps, subway metro routes, cheap
local eating joints, and affordable home share offers overseas. Here are more handy
tips to get you going!
- Book into group travel packages for best deals
If
travelling in a group with family of an assorted age group, packaged tours will
cost you much less than going solo. All your needs are taken care of, flights,
airport pick and drop, stay, meals tours and inland transport.
- Travel to countries which have affordable airfare and a weaker currency.
Spend
in the local currency of your host country as much to avoid any additional
forex charges that will apply if you use your credit card etc. A prepaid travel
card is the most convenient and cost effective solution to pay in local
currency. Most of the amazingly
beautiful South East Asian countries are very easy on the pocket for an
overseas getaway.
- Go online to get best deals on forex and travel related products
Take
advantage of online forex marketplaces for best
Dollar exchange rates and best Euro exchange rates to fit your budget. Sites like BookMyForex offer attractive
deals and discounts on all forex products in addition to best Dollar exchange rates
and best Euro exchange rates.
- Don’t use the roaming facility on your phone
Subscribe
to special international call plans or buy cheaper local numbers overseas. Switch off data services when overseas and use
local Wi-Fi at a lower cost.
- Keep extra room in luggage to bring back shopping
You
can’t afford to pay extra baggage charges since it can be an expensive
proposition. So, wear and layer heavy winter wear, boots etc. in the flight and
stow away.
Lastly!
Remember to click loads of special moments on your trip from your smart phones which
come at no extra cost!
