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.
