Hey, don’t be sad yet. Here are some frugal traveling tips that you can try to reduce your travel budget.
1. Plan carefully
The first thing you have to do is plan your trip well in advance.
Traveling is not a matter of place, but you can feel pleasure and you get new value from your trip. That’s it, you have successfully walked around.
2. No need to use a tour guide
Now is the age of the internet. So you don’t need to use a tour guide when visiting tourist attractions. Just open it and find out via Google about stories, history or interesting spots at the tourist attraction you are visiting.
Sometimes the information we get from the internet provides more interesting information than information from a tour guide or tour guide which is just like that. That’s it, it’s free too.
3. Choose a low-season date
If possible, don’t go traveling during the holiday season, avoid it as much as possible, and choose low-season dates. When the holiday season arrives, the prices of all tickets and accommodation become more expensive than usual. Apart from that, tourist destinations will be busy and make you unable to maximize your vacation. Instead of reducing stress, it could increase stress and boredom.
4. Use public transportation
To save more, you can use public transportation to go to the place you are going. There’s no need to use an online taxi because that will cost quite a lot. There’s no need to be embarrassed about taking public transportation, city buses, or taking a ride on a kolbak. That way, your traveling will be more enjoyable, right?
5. Bring supplies from home
Don’t forget to bring rations as provisions during the trip. Who knows, you might get hungry on the way. Instead of buying it, it’s expensive. You can reduce your budget for buying food. Choose food supplies that are long-lasting, such as cup instant noodles, bread, potato chips, or others.
If you want to find food, try not to eat at a restaurant. Try eating at roadside stalls. Apart from being cheaper, you can also try local specialties.
6. Look for Promotions
Take advantage of existing promos! Such as train ticket promos, plane ticket promos, or other promos. By using this promo you can reduce your budget even more!
Buying tickets in advance is an investment for you on vacation. Calculate savings every day to pay for the ticket money. And of course, don’t forget to take part in the promotions that are often held on social media for tourism or travel accounts. This will give you information about interesting promotions.
7. Invite friends to share costs
Who says if you invite friends your holiday will be even more chaotic and not optimal? The reason is, by inviting friends, of course, you will have more benefits. You can join forces to save even more costs.
8. Stay in a hostel
For student pockets, of course, staying at a hostel is much cheaper and more exciting than staying at a hotel. Nowadays there are lots of cheap and comfortable hostels scattered everywhere. You can browse to find a hostel that suits your wishes. Each hostel has its own facilities and entertainment, you know.
9. Don’t buy souvenirs in the shop, just at the market
Souvenirs or souvenirs sold at the market are much cheaper than in shops, and can also be negotiated. Eits, but you have to be good at bargaining and be smart in choosing so you don’t get bad items. However, not all local markets are cheap, you know. Some markets are very commercial for tourists. So the price of the goods is more expensive. You have to research the place and price first before buying.
These are some tips that you can try to save on your expenses when traveling later. Enjoy the Semester Holidays!
