I believe that the biggest reason we no longer use our travel fund piggy bank (I’m pretty sure you have one of these) is that we don’t have a saving strategy. Whenever we think about it, we put a coin in it and, if it ever gets full, we open it to find out how much money we have saved to travel. After all, when you smash it open, the disappointment can be tremendous, and certainly the total amount will not cover all the expenses of a trip. To prevent this from happening, I learned a new money saving strategy, regardless of your finances, so that you can make at least one trip a year.
The smoothness I encounter whenever I want to find the best routes using the several filters available turn this platform into a favorite of mine, when it comes to searching for my flights. If the route is more expensive than what I initially expected, and if the time between flights is not an obstacle, making a stopover between countries is an extremely valid option. If you barely have time to switch from one place to the other, you may lose your connecting flight, and having to wait a long period may not compensate the time you could have spent enjoying yourself in your destination. Having bought the plane tickets in advance, coinciding with the Black Friday in November 2017, allowed me to purchase each flight for 9,99 €.
Would you believe me if I told you that, apart from having the chance to know a brand-new destination, planning is actually my favorite part of the whole traveling process? That’s what excites me the most, after all, if I plan things right, I’ll save money on superfluous things, such as buying food on the plane or staying in a quite expensive hotel, and I can instead spend the cash on other thing during the trip, like tasting a typical local meal or rent a car to visit off-the-beaten-path places. Whether I have 100 € or 1000 € with me, the amount of money is not what will influence me to make a proper traveling planning. The work I do at home before leaving helps me avoid losing time when I’m there, cuts the number of unwanted surprises and avoids some possible stressful situations.
