I also have a mortgage and medical bills. I want to travel, but I don&#8217;t think I can. What do I do?&#8221; I got you, boo. Keep reading.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Travel_During_Low_Season\"><\/span>Travel During Low Season<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This trick alone will make travel on a budget possible for you. Various destinations around the world have a particular time of the year where it becomes a tourist hotspot. During these periods of time, things will be more expensive in that destination. You can expect to may more for tours, housing, food, and more.<\/p>\n<p>Do some research and figure out when the off-peak time is for the destination you want to visit and go during that time. This trick alone has saved me thousands during my travels.<\/p>\n<p>For example, I went to Koh Samui, Thailand in October which is considered low season because it&#8217;s rainy season. I snagged an amazing Airbnb for 1\/4 of the price that it normally is. I also stayed at one of the top hotels in Dubai during the low season for 1\/5 of the normal price.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, you&#8217;ll have a more pleasant time because there won&#8217;t be heaps of tourists everywhere. It&#8217;s a win-win situation.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of Airbnb, here&#8217;s a <a href=\"https:\/\/abnb.me\/e\/lb7AEgAz73\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">discount code<\/a> just for you. You can get up to $55 off on your first trip.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choose_Your_Accommodation_Wisely\"><\/span>Choose Your Accommodation Wisely<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>I personally like mid-range accommodation when I travel. I&#8217;m not a fan of hostels, but I&#8217;m also not going to drop serious money on a five-star hotel.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re flexible about where you stay, you&#8217;ll save some money. If you visit Southeast Asia, you can snag some pretty great places for a decent price. However, if you travel to Paris, the odds of that happening are a little slim.<\/p>\n<p>Take some time and research which accommodation options lie within your budget. Depending on who you book with, they may offer a price match guarantee. If you find the booked accommodation for a cheaper price on another website, they will match the lower rate and give you an additional percentage off.<\/p>\n<p>I went to Dahab, Egpyt and booked a Marriott hotel. A few days after I booked it, I found a cheaper price online. I called Marriott and they matched the price. Plus, I received an additional 25% off of the matched rate. All in all, we got the room for $29 per night and that included all-inclusive meals for two people.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re on a very limited budget, I recommend staying in <a href=\"https:\/\/prf.hn\/click\/camref:1011l7vdy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">hostels<\/a>. It&#8217;s a great way to make friends and you&#8217;ll save money.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to stay in hotels, I highly recommend using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jdoqocy.com\/click-8942555-10433860\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hotels.com<\/a>. If I don&#8217;t book with Marriott, I book with Hotels.com. You earn one free night for every ten nights you stay. I used Hotels.com when I was traveling around Asia and I have accumulated so many free nights. Plus, it&#8217;s free to sign up for their loyalty program.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/dishadiscovers.com\/staging\/9-most-important-factors-to-consider-before-booking-a-hotel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">9 Most Important Factors to Consider Before Booking a Hotel<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Try_House_Sitting\"><\/span>Try House Sitting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This is exactly what it sounds like \u2014 you watch someone&#8217;s house while they&#8217;re away and take care of it.

In those three months that we were there, we paid for our accommodation maybe two weeks. The rest of the time was filled with housesits. We actually saved up quite a bit of money because we didn&#8217;t have to pay for housing. On top of that, we got to hang out with cute dogs.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t have much experience with housesitting other than the few months I did in Australia. However, my friends who regularly housesit highly recommend using <a href=\"http:\/\/www.awin1.com\/awclick.php?gid=379679&amp;mid=5759&amp;awinaffid=542771&amp;linkid=2549176\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">TrustedHousesitters<\/a>. In my opinion, this is one of the best ways to travel on a budget.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Find_Work_Abroad\"><\/span>Find Work Abroad<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If your job sucks and you&#8217;re not getting paid well, why not find a job abroad? There are so many job opportunities abroad. You just have to flexible and open to the opportunities that are available. Yes, you might not find your dream job abroad. However, you get to be in another country and save up some money to travel.<\/p>\n<p>Some jobs that you might find interesting are cruise ship worker, au pair, hostel worker, dive instructor, tour guide, yoga instructor, farm-worker (popular in New Zealand and Australia), and bartender.<\/p>\n<p>A job that interests many is teaching English abroad. Depending on where you go to teach, you can make pretty good money. I know people who have taught in Thailand, China, South Korea, Taiwan, and more. I even know a few people who have saved up $10K+ while teaching abroad. Now, that&#8217;s impressive.<\/p>\n<p>Finding a teaching job abroad isn&#8217;t as hard as it sounds. The only requirements are that you speak English fluently and that you have a TEFL certification (depending on where you teach). Being an English teacher abroad is in hot demand.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, I don&#8217;t know much about teaching abroad or how to find jobs abroad. However, my friend, Nina, is a guru in this area. She has heaps of posts about working abroad and teaching abroad. You can find them <a href=\"https:\/\/whereintheworldisnina.com\/jobs-abroad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/dishadiscovers.com\/staging\/a-complete-guide-to-creating-a-travel-budget-that-actually-works\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">A Complete Guide to Creating a Travel Budget That Actually Works<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_Free_Flights\"><\/span>Get Free Flights<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The best way to score free flights is to sign up for travel credit cards. Please do not sign up for travel credit cards if you&#8217;re currently in debt or you&#8217;re bad with money.<\/p>\n<p>There are several amazing travel credit cards out there and it can get overwhelming when you&#8217;re trying to figure out which credit card is best for you. Before I signed up for my first travel credit card, I spent some time on <a href=\"https:\/\/extrapackofpeanuts.com\/cards\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Extra Pack of Peanuts<\/a> doing some comparisons. The bloggers behind this genius website list the best current credit card offers and they update the list regularly.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2124\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2124\" style=\"width: 780px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dishadiscovers.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/pyramid-of-giza.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2124\" src=\"https:\/\/dishadiscovers.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/pyramid-of-giza-1024x666.jpg\" alt=\"We did travel on a budget from Cairo to Dubai.\" width=\"780\" height=\"507\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dishadiscovers.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/pyramid-of-giza-1024x666.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dishadiscovers.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/pyramid-of-giza-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dishadiscovers.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/pyramid-of-giza-768x499.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dishadiscovers.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/pyramid-of-giza.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/dishadiscovers.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/pyramid-of-giza-735x478.jpg 735w, https:\/\/dishadiscovers.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/pyramid-of-giza-335x218.jpg 335w, https:\/\/dishadiscovers.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/pyramid-of-giza-347x226.jpg 347w, https:\/\/dishadiscovers.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/pyramid-of-giza-520x338.jpg 520w, https:\/\/dishadiscovers.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/pyramid-of-giza-640x416.jpg 640w, https:\/\/dishadiscovers.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/pyramid-of-giza-960x624.jpg 960w, https:\/\/dishadiscovers.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/pyramid-of-giza-1080x702.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/dishadiscovers.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/pyramid-of-giza-150x98.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2124\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">We flew from Cairo to Dubai for free because we had credit card points.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Most cards offer an awesome sign-up bonus. When I signed up for my Chase Sapphire Reserve card (which is the best in my opinion), I got a 100,000 point bonus after spending $4000 in the first three months of having the card. Unfortunately, their sign up bonus is now 50,000 points. But, 50,000 points are still generous and the card is worth it.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t sign up for travel credit cards unless their signup bonus is good. That&#8217;s the best way to accumulate miles. I&#8217;ve gotten hundreds of thousands of miles just from the signup bonuses. Additionally, I use my card to pay for everything which equates to more miles. I rarely use cash.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pack_Light\"><\/span>Pack Light<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The more you travel with, the more you&#8217;ll pay in checked baggage fees. Some airlines charge an arm and a leg for checked baggage fees. Sometimes, it&#8217;s almost the same price as your ticket price if you&#8217;re flying a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/dishadiscovers.com\/staging\/your-guide-to-surviving-a-budget-airline-flight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">budget carrier<\/a>. That makes no sense to me.<\/p>\n<p>Odds are, you&#8217;re overpacking anyway. We all think we need to pack twelve dresses and six pairs of shoes when we&#8217;re only going on vacation for a week.<\/p>\n<p>One of my key rules to travel on a budget is to pack only what you need and try to travel with just a carry on to avoid pesky baggage fees. Plus, you don&#8217;t have to worry about your luggage getting lost.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/dishadiscovers.com\/staging\/why-i-only-travel-with-carry-on-luggage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Why I Only Travel with Carry-On Luggage<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Free_Walking_Tours\"><\/span>Free Walking Tours<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>One of my favorite ways to travel on a budget is to take advantage of free walking tours. They&#8217;re a great way to explore the local hotspots with a local perspective for free. Plus, it&#8217;s a good way for you to keep track of which places you&#8217;d like to return to while you&#8217;re in that city.<\/p>\n<p>Heaps of cities around the world offer free walking tours. Before you get to your destination, do a search on this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freetour.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">website<\/a> and see what you can find. Sometimes, you have to book in advance so be sure to pay attention to that. My favorite walking tours that I did were in Sydney, Australia and Sofia, Bulgaria.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_Your_Student_ID_Card\"><\/span>Use Your Student ID Card<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Another fantastic way to travel on a budget is to use your student ID card.

I forgot to take mine with me when I was sightseeing in Delhi and missed the saving opportunities. I could have saved $20 that day if I brought it with me.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Make_Your_Own_Meals\"><\/span>Make Your Own Meals<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When I&#8217;m traveling through expensive countries, I try to stay in an Airbnb as much as possible so I can make my own meals. Your trip to Rome won&#8217;t be ruined if you cook a meal once per day.<\/p>\n<p>We made meals at home when we were traveling through <a href=\"https:\/\/dishadiscovers.com\/staging\/7-essential-tips-to-travel-switzerland-on-a-budget\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Switzerland<\/a> and Norway. There is Norway we could afford to eat out for every meal. Haha \u2014 get it?<\/p>\n<p>Generally, we cook one meal at home and eat out for one meal when we&#8217;re visiting expensive countries. That alone saves us so much money. Plus, it&#8217;s fun packing your lunch and having a picnic at a local park. I just don&#8217;t see the point in spending heaps of money eating out unless it&#8217;s Southeast Asia. In that case, gimme all the street food for less than $2 a meal.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Take_Advantage_of_Redeye_Flights\"><\/span>Take Advantage of Redeye Flights<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This is perhaps my least favorite way of traveling on a budget. However, I&#8217;ve saved money doing this and so will you. Essentially, a red-eye <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kqzyfj.com\/click-8942555-12532525\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">flight<\/a> takes off late at night and arrives early in the morning. People don&#8217;t typically want to experience this kind of discomfort so the fares are cheaper. I&#8217;ve taken several red-eye flights. While the flights felt like pure hell, my bank account was quite happy.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_Your_VAT_Refund\"><\/span>Get Your VAT Refund<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Before you exit the country, make sure you get your VAT refund if they&#8217;re offering it. VAT stands for &#8220;value-added tax.&#8221; It&#8217;s an added tax on consumption rather than income. The tax can range anywhere from 15-25%.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2122\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2122\" style=\"width: 780px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dishadiscovers.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/colosseum-in-rome.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2122\" src=\"https:\/\/dishadiscovers.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/colosseum-in-rome-1024x666.jpg\" alt=\"Travel on a budget is totally possible in Europe.\" width=\"780\" height=\"507\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dishadiscovers.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/colosseum-in-rome-1024x666.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dishadiscovers.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/colosseum-in-rome-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dishadiscovers.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/colosseum-in-rome-768x499.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dishadiscovers.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/colosseum-in-rome.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/dishadiscovers.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/colosseum-in-rome-735x478.jpg 735w, https:\/\/dishadiscovers.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/colosseum-in-rome-335x218.jpg 335w, https:\/\/dishadiscovers.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/colosseum-in-rome-347x226.jpg 347w, https:\/\/dishadiscovers.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/colosseum-in-rome-520x338.jpg 520w, https:\/\/dishadiscovers.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/colosseum-in-rome-640x416.jpg 640w, https:\/\/dishadiscovers.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/colosseum-in-rome-960x624.jpg 960w, https:\/\/dishadiscovers.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/colosseum-in-rome-1080x702.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/dishadiscovers.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/colosseum-in-rome-150x98.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2122\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Europe is popular for VAT refunds.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Remember to hold on to all of your receipts. After immigration, you&#8217;ll see a &#8220;VAT Refund&#8221; counter and that&#8217;s where you&#8217;ll go to claim your refund. You hand the worker your receipts and they&#8217;ll give your refund. You&#8217;ll have to fill out some paperwork too.<\/p>\n<p>So many tourists leave the country without claiming the VAT refund. Don&#8217;t do that. When you have to travel on a budget, every penny counts.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choose_a_Budget-Friendly_Destination\"><\/span>Choose a Budget-Friendly Destination<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This might seem like a no-brainer to you, but this point needs to be iterated. Just because you find a $50 flight to Zurich from London doesn&#8217;t mean you should book it.<\/p>\n<p>Zurich is expensive and it&#8217;s not quite budget-friendly. I mean, you could travel on a budget there. However, it&#8217;s going to be painful. Just because the flight is cheap doesn&#8217;t mean that the rest of your trip is going to be cheap. You need to think about how much you&#8217;re going to spend in total on the trip.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the most budget-friendly destinations in the world are countries in Southeast Asia. You can find food and housing for every budget in most countries there. If you have an insatiable travel bug and you need to travel on a budget, this is where I recommend you go.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, just because you want to save money on travel doesn&#8217;t mean that you should skimp out on travel insurance. Be sure to protect yourself against unexpected illnesses, theft, and more. I use SafetyWing and I love them.<\/p>\n<div class=\"safetywing-price-widget\" data-safetywingaffiliateid=\"67896\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/safetywing-static\/widget\/safetywing-price-widget.js\"><\/script>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Between all of these tips and tricks, you&#8217;ll be able to confidently travel even when you&#8217;re broke AF.
