Practical Traveling - possible?

I travel every year and I don´t spend that much money. I prefer aparthotels where I can make my own food. I save a lot by just making my breakfast and diner for sure and have lunch where I´m sightseeing. Sometimes I take sandwichs, Sometimes I have a nice lunch with ethnic food of the country I´m visiting. I like to go where the sun is when it´s Winter in my country. I save on heat then.

I always travel to countries where i have friends to accommodate me so I wouldn't be espending on accommodation. My money would only be allocated to air ticket, visas, airport fees and few bucks for my pocket money. I seldom shop because my purpose of traveling is for experience and adventure and not for shopping.

The biggest expenses for me are the international air fares. When I get to my destination I travel on local trains, buses and ferries. I travel with my disabled son and daughter. We stay in a cheap guest house. I like to do self catering and ship at the local supermarket. I take a certain amount of our own food with us anyway. When I was younger I was a budget traveler and backpacking is a very cheap way to travel. I stayed in dorms in youth hostels and backpacker hostels. I did self catering. I took advantage of any rail passes. I did some work overseas to afford more traveling. I was able to stay away many days using little money. When I was very poor I took my tent and did some camping in it.

Yes, it is very much possible. I travel with my friends. We take the cheapest flights (most domestic flights here offer seat sales and we take advantage) even if we have to book several months in advance. We also look for affordable hotels or hostels, even, and we get just one room (I usually travel with one or 2 friends). As to food, we don't really go to pricey restaurants. We do budget our money well, too.

If you are travelling within your own country then I can say that it will not be very expensive as you can manage your travelling planning within a certain budget. However, if you are travelling internationally ( that is from one country to another country ) then there is a lot of things to worry about. International travel is very expensive.Take for example a traveller moving from London to Malaysia will have to budget a lot of money for the trip because of the long distance nature of trip.There is also the problem of securing a travelling visas,health document,basic travelling allowances ( bta ) Visas sometimes can be very difficult to secure as most embassies often deny traveller travelling visas under one flimsy rules. To save cost most international traveller who are not financially secured do take the cheaper economic class because it meet their budget.

it is very possible. i usually have the first flight, have the booking of ticket months before my scheduled date, prepare sandwiches or bring along some can goods and other goodies.. i usually use my money to see places.. fare and buy tickets for admission such as ocean park, disney land when i was in hong kong.. i don't usually shop unless these items are not found in my country

I have not travelled in years. We just cannot afford to right now. Gas prices are so dang high too. We used to though and we did not splurge either. We took money and brought money back with us every time. We had a great time too though.

I am not a practical traveller. My traveling abroad means holiday plus shopping spree. I go with one luggage only to find me going back with few luggages. I am always a victim of excess baggage charges at the airport. I must learn to be a smart traveller in future travels to avoid burning my credit limits on my cards.

I can similar to what you have experience. It is a matter of planning what you are going to buy something. If you controlled yourself, of course you should because you are the one who will suffer if you spend more on your travel and you exceed the limit of your limits either in cash or credit cards. Proper planning and budgeting is a great help to all traveler's that want to spend less during their travels. I always come back with still have content on my pocket.

Travel is something we all like or at least most of us, I think many of us dream of going to some far away places. That is why I got involve in a home travel business.

It is possible not to spend all your hard earned money when you travel. In my case, I usually stand by for seat sale fares offered by domestic airline companies. On our recent trip to Davao, an airfare for 4 persons cost us only Php 800+. Before we travel, I usually browse over forums and research about the place we intended to visit. Know what are the must-see-places, so we can plan our itinerary and save on transportation cost. What are affordable accommodations and cheap restaurants to eat. Unfortunately, we hardly save on food when we travel, since we want to experience the best foods the place has to offer. We know we won’t be able to come back soon so we want to make the most out of it.

sure- you can travel very cheaply right away. last year i went to hong kong with a friend of mine- we bypassed the regular hotels and stayed at a hostel- a rooming house -or cheap hotel. it was very nice-no frills, just a comfortable room for the night. we saved a fortune on hotels that are overpriced anyway. from now on when i travel i will stay at a hostel- they have them all over the world
