How to Travel on a Budget

To travel on a budget is a difficult thing to many people, and unfortunately can deter some would-be wanderers from experiencing this incredible planet. To help you get the most out of your journey, here are the few travel tips for you.

1.Book in Advance
Prices will go up as time gets closer to your trip. Booking an air travel ahead of time guarantees you won’t get stuck having a last minute price gouged flight. Also when booking flights, Tuesday is almost always the cheapest priced day of the week to travel, due to the low demand for flights on this day. If you’re willing and able to travel out and/or back on a Tuesday, this will save you some money.
