Travel Often & Spend Less

I have an insane calling to be where I am not.

My 2016 New Years resolution was to travel someplace new each month. It might seem as though traveling your heart out and keeping your bank account happy is impossible to achieve, but with a little imagination and some forward-thinking, you would be amazed at how easy it can really be.

Traveling is always going to cost you a little something, but it can be truly incredible how little it can really cost you on the whole. If you are clever about it, you can make traveling much cheaper than people tend to think it needs to be. Im always on the hunt for a deal. This where I need to take a moment and thank my algebra teachers because this is where formulas come into handy with how craft people get on saving money.  Satisfying your wanderlust while keeping your bank balance as happy as possible is a science because these numbers (aka dollars,) actually matter. 

Know How To Shop Around

Most people will go to one, maybe two websites to check for flights and then be done with it. Do not be one of those people. If you want to really save as much money as you can, you will find that it is essential to use a comparison service like  www.gobear.com/ph/travel-insurance. In this way, you can expect to find the cheapest possible flights to anywhere in the world. What does that mean? A huge chunk of your trip has just been saved. Buy yourself something pretty when you go. You can do this with accommodations too! Knowing how to shop around will mean that you come out on top every time, and have saved money even before you set foot on your land of destiny.

Rent Out Your Home

Maybe you want to spend a little more and have a particularly luxurious trip, but you still want to keep your finances in check. Fortunately, there are a number of ways in which you can make this happen. One of the most popular is to rent out your home for the duration of your trip abroad. Using services such as https://www.airbnb.co.uk you can rent out your home in a safe and reliable way, and save some money on the whole. Depending on your home and its location, you might even be able to make back the money you spend on accommodation for your holiday. There is nothing that feels better than knowing that your holiday was almost free of charge.

Earn As You Go

If you are looking to travel for a particularly long time instead, and you want to make some money in the process, then one great way to do that is to get jobs as you move around.  Thankfully, this is relatively easy to do, but it does depend largely on where you plan to be traveling and what your own skills are. Something that anyone can do, however, is teaching English as a foreign language, and you will find that there are countless places wanting teachers of that kind in many countries around the world. In this way, you can travel extensively and earn money at the same time, and in so doing you can make your travels - and your money - last much longer.
