Choose Cheap Accommodation




This is pretty self explanatory. Look for the best deals on the internet and if you are thinking about extending you vacation (over a month) then consider signing a short lease, you'll save money and have a place to call home.

Hostels are of course going to be your best bet for saving cash but also are a great place to make travel friends, especially if you're traveling alone. Hostels in a lot of parts of South East Asia can be had for as little as $3 a night!

Now if you really want to save some money then consider Couchsurfing.com. This is a website where you can find a couch to stay free for a night, sometimes you might even get a bed. This is a great way of making new friends and getting a locals perspective of a city.

Often you can help or cook dinner in exchange for getting a free place to sleep for a night or two. These 'beds' exist pretty much all over the world, from New York City to small towns in Africa!

Of course there is also AirBnb.com too. These are homes owned by someone that they rent out for a night, a weekend or longer, usually these are much cheaper than a large hotel too.

Now if you're really tight then here's a little trick if you're catching flights and can put up with a bit of discomfort. If you have a flight that's reasonably early in the morning then consider going to the airport the night before and sleeping there. Yes, right there on some seats!

I've done it quite a few times and it's really not that bad as long as you have something to entertain you.
Also try booking flights that are flying overnight, saving you another night.

And since you would be staying on cheap hostels or houses, do not expect hotel amenities. I am pretty sure you will need an internet to help you roam around the cities and communicate with your loved ones and friends.

If you're ever staying in a city or country for more than a few days then consider getting a local SIM card. These are great so you can make your own way around with Google Maps, find great restaurants, cool things to do and you can always call and text someone too.

The extra cost of buying a SIM card will usually be offset by the time and money you will save in paying for using an Internet cafe anyway.


Enjoy travelling!
