Genius Ways To Save Money On Travel

Now you can, and you will, ................It's your year of adventure.

1. Join a local Facebook group that alerts you to sweet travel deals : 

And have it pinned so that these crowdsourced alerts always show up on your feed.

2. Be flexible with your plans :

If you want to travel to a certain place, be flexible about the timing. If you want to travel at a certain time, be flexible about the location. Choose one — not both.

3. Instead of just focusing on eating cheap on the road, eat cheap at home so you save more money for your travels : 

Just focus to eat cheap to save more money , ....I know you can do it ! 

Set up an automatic travel savings account at your bank : I keep my savings account invisible/inaccessible from my internet banking so that I never have the temptation to transfer money over and spend it. Accessing the money would mean physically going to a bank to make the transaction, and I’ve never been tempted enough to do that. I only use it for travel.

4. Subscribe to email alerts for “mistake fares” and flight deals, particularly from Secret Flying and The Flight Deal : 

You can narrow down your preferences to flights departing from certain countries, and they’ll send you an email when a deal pops up. Thanks to these email alerts, I got my mother a $480 round trip ticket from Vancouver to Hong Kong!

5. Before booking a round-trip flight, look at the cost of two one-way flights. Sometimes it turns out to be cheaper! 

6. Travel during “shoulder periods : 

There are times in the travel industry called ‘shoulder periods,’ which are basically off-peak times. Like, when kids go back to school (September), after New Year’s (early January), and just after Spring Break (April). Airlines and hotels often give big discounts on airplane seats and hotel rooms during this time, since it’s not a popular period to go. Shoulder periods change in different parts of the world, so choose your destination by watching for online deals, and following hotels and airlines on Twitter, where they also release last-minute deals.

And Now it's when you're there  : 

7. Do as the locals do, and catch public transportation everywhere you go : 

Buses, minivans, crappy trains, 17 people in a tuk-tuk … whatever it takes to get around. Not only is it a great way to save money, but it’s the best way to see a country and get up close and personal with its people. Remember: No epic cultural interactions ever happened getting chaperoned in a private taxi.

8. And take overnight trains and busses when you can :

You’ll get where you need to go, and save money on a night’s worth of accommodation.

9. Don’t overorder when you eat out :

When I travel, my motto is always, ‘It comes with bread.’ It’s a good reminder that not overordering = saving money!

10. Use apps to call and text back home :

You’ll save even more money by making calls and sending text messages using apps rather than your carrier’s service. Skype, Google Hangouts, and others let you talk and video call anyone else who uses the app, and you can call any phone number in the world at a much-reduced rate. Hangouts even lets you dial most U.S. and Canadian numbers for free! To send text messages, get your friends on WhatsApp or Viber, and message back and forth using Wi-Fi or cell data instead of paying per message.

11. Ask the locals what something should cost, and try not to pay over that for anything from transport to food to activities :

You can get this information directly from people working at your guesthouse.

12. Don’t wait until you’re hungry to start scouting for food : 

If you do, you’ll probably just choose the most convenient option regardless of price. Instead, give yourself some time to shop around before your stomach starts rumbling.

It's just some idea maybe can help you to savae more money in travel , If you want more just comment and i will do my best and soon to reply ! Peace !
