There’s nothing more exciting than traveling the world, but unfortunately, it’s also not free. Some places are cheaper than others, but the ones that are more expensive can truly rack up a hefty price tag. There are so many different ways to spend money while traveling, which is why you need a proper plan to weather the financial storm, especially if you’re trying to stay on a budget. Here are three ways to save money while traveling.

Staying at a Hostel

When it comes to your accommodations, we’d highly recommend staying at a hostel. We love hotels, and there’s certainly a time and place for them, but not if you’re trying to save money. Hostels can be dirt cheap and also pretty fun, especially if you’re a solo traveler trying to meet new people.

Groceries

This is probably the most underrated way to save money while traveling. Instead of eating out to fancy restaurants all the time, head on over to the supermarket and buy yourself some groceries. Heck, if you want to buy ready-cooked food, order some cheaper street food as well while you’re at it.

Public Transportation

Finally, instead of spending money on cabs and Ubers, do yourself a favor and get acquainted with the local public transportation system. You’ll be shocked to learn that it’s pretty easy to navigate, and a fraction of the price.
