How to Manage Your Expense During Trips
Hi everyone,
After couple of trips I recognized that I spent more than I should and then I start to track my expenses. It turns out to be that I spend all of my money to foods that is told me that famous in that country. It is cool that I was trying something new but no one can taste all cuisine in the world. So, I took control of this situation.
1- Set a Limit to Your Daily Expense
This method helped me a lot but it also depends on where you are going so you can either decrease or increase this amount.
2-Carry Some Snacks with Me
This is essential because when we are hungry, we could not think logically and these are the moments we spend ridiculously. The best snacks would be apple, banana, cashew, nuts and so on. I do not mean you need to so many things with you but this little things help you to not starve on the road and enjoy every single moment you have.
3-Search Cheap and Cool Places Before
In this way you can avoid any mistakes. Since you will be getting in only a few restaurant or cafes, it is important that you get in some special or important ones. Please do not go to Mc Donald's in case it is middle of the night and there is no place open.
4-Cook your own Food
If you will be staying somewhere for couple of days or even a day. It may seem hard work but pasta is not that easy. Using some sauce will help you a lot. You can make salad for yourself as well because we are trying to eat healthy, right! If you are traveling with your friend, it will help you to bound easier and make your stomach full before going any club or whatever.
Once I watched that, if you wanna decrease your budget, you can buy alcohol in store and drink it in the park. It also works. Which ever you want!
5-Choose Hostels w/ Breakfast
I do not say that they are the best food in the world but we are not looking for that. Eat something that will make you full and do not get some snack and water to go!
6-Check out which Traditional Food you wanna Try and Search the Known Place for that
If you know what you gonna taste you may avoid any bad experience. (Actually, it is also part of the journey.) For instance, when you go to Paris, you have to try macaron ones. In this situation, ask for the best seller, it is less risky. Best sellers are the one you may enjoy the most.
