Master Budget Travel Tips That Save You Thousands

Accommodations: Think Outside the Hotel

While hotels are a traditional choice, exploring alternative accommodations can lead to substantial savings. Platforms like Airbnb and Vrbo offer a wide range of options, from shared spaces to entire homes, often at a fraction of the cost of a hotel stay². Hostels are another budget-friendly option, providing not only affordable lodging but also opportunities to meet fellow travelers. For the more adventurous, house-sitting or home exchanges can provide free accommodations in exchange for caretaking responsibilities.
