A Guide to Travelling Abroad on a Budget

Travelling is an exciting experience but it can often mean that you have to be careful and frugal with money. Regardless of whether you’re going away for a week or a month, it’s important to be careful so you don’t end up having to call back home before your trip is over asking to borrow some cash! Here’s a guide to travelling abroad on a budget:

Drive A Hard Bargain on Flights and Accommodation

Depending on where you are shopping and where you are travelling to, you may be able to get a bargain price holiday if you haggle. Most travel agents have a book price for holidays at different times of the year and they will quote you this book price however, what you probably didn't know is that if you just ask for a better price, 9 times out of 10 they can reduce the cost in some way. You just need to be brave, bold and brash and just ask. The truth is, there are a number of ways they can reduce your package holiday cost. They can look for cheaper flights, alternative times to travel, reductions in airport transfers and much more.

Don't Spend a Fortune Shopping

If you absolutely must shop when you are on holiday then shop around before purchasing an item. If you have something in particular in mind, have a look around the shops, even the different market stalls before making a purchase. You can always go back to the place you originally saw the item if you don’t see it again, and you never know where you might find a better deal!
