I do not know whether this term is familiar to you but before I start traveling more and more I did not know because when you travel one or twice a year, you do not care about the money that much because you deserve to go these trips. I totally get it. However, if you start traveling quite often you may want to check this one out.
Budget traveling as you may guess from the term, focuses on spending less while traveling because when you are traveling you just spend more and more.
1-Couch Surfing
Some people choose hostels to decrease their expense, some choose couch surfing . I talked about hostels as you can see on relative posts. However, I did not write anything about couch surfing because I have never experienced it. It is quite scary for me because I do not know. Every unknown is scary thing for us. However, I am planning to give it a try. So, let me explain you as much as I know. In case you want to add something on it. You can contact with me or via site. To long story short, only things I know about couch surfing is from my French friend who experienced it many times plus ted talks I usually listen. They taught me I need to spend time with hosts and they kind of show me the city or around like locals which is perfect but they also add me that if a girl try this out it may be a problematic but you can still do that and be safe if you check out the host carefully. Do not get me wrong I believe equality between female and male.
2-Cook On Your Own
If you are staying at hostel or couch surfing instead of spending money outside you can cook something.
3-Carry Snack with You
I do not have this habit but I learned that through out my trips, they are really helpful because you do not starve for food. If you feel hunger a little you can get some dried fruit.
4-Do not Buy any Unnecessary Things
I think that is the main part, so many of us think that they have to get something from the city or country because otherwise they do not feel like they have been there. Once I watched a person who live zero waste, she told me I stopped buying unnecessary stuff instead I am collecting photos because they are the best way to remember good old days. Personally, I collect stickers from every single place I go. It costs me 2-4 Euro mostly but I love it and I will do it no matter where I go. If something else will make you happier than you are then go for it. It is all about choices.
So, it is all I know about Budget traveling.
Tell me in case you try out. It is so excited!
