Tips for Affordable Travel

Haha, that’s seriously how it feels sometimes! 😄 Here are a few tips to make travel more affordable: 1. Travel off-season when possible; flights are more affordable, and you’ll encounter fewer crowds. For instance, flying from the US to Europe is about half the cost during winter compared to summer. 2. Opt for drivable destinations; you don’t have to go far to enjoy the benefits of travel. Consider short 4-day trips. We typically take two big trips a year, but the rest are 4-days trips over long weekends. 3. Utilize credit card points for flights and accommodations, but be sure to pay off your credit card monthly and have a solid plan to avoid accumulating debt. 4. Save on food by choosing a hotel with complimentary breakfast or accommodations that allow you to cook your own. Pack your lunch and snacks, and reserve eating out for dinner – it’s a more budget-friendly approach. Any other travel tips you’d like to share? ➡️Follow @eastcoast.blondies for more travel tips!
