Everyone has his/her worst travel experiences. Some find themselves in the middle of nowhere and others are stressed with delayed flights or transportation schedule. It’s a sad fact but true. Travel disasters happen in the most unexpected time. Even if adversities occur during trips, memories will remain forever and laughter arises from flashbacks. As a student, traveling is limited because of financial reasons. Learning how to budget is a must to provide expenses for significant activities.
Here is a guide to affordable travel while making it interesting:
• Your passport can possibly be stolen or misplaced. Always leave a photocopy of your passport and travel schedule to a reliable friend, family member or companion during the trip.
• Make your bookings in advance weeks or months before your scheduled trip. Remember that booking in advance is cheaper than booking for a next day trip. Airlines sometimes offer promos and discounts which you can avail of. You can also get a Rail Card that offers big discounts in railway and sea travel in Europe.
• You need to check your booking twice for mistakes. Example, a booking for a cruise ship should be for five people but the room inputted in the booking package is for double occupancy only. Spending for another room would be out of the budget.
• Bringing of high heels is not really necessary. Bring flat shoes or slippers that provide comfort for walking. Wearing of heels will be painful to your feet and legs during touring sessions.
• Unexpected weather changes might sometimes occur. Spending for another new coat would be too costly. Be prepared by bringing a complete and limited set of clothes.
• Always bring a sleeping bag or folding mattress. Sometimes flight delay may take overnight. Instead of expensive lodging in an airport hotel, you can sleep in the airport with your sleeping bag. You can also use this to provide warmth in the hotel room in a freezing climate.
• Only pack useful clothes in your baggage. Excessive baggage will cause an extra charge in the airport.
