Traveling on a budget can be quite challenging, but it shouldn’t stop you from doing nice things for yourself every once in a while. After saving tons of money on transportation, accommodation, and food, you deserve to treat yourself and enjoy some small pleasures, starting with these five.

One Hotel Night

If you’re staying at a hostel dorm during your trip, consider splurging on a hotel room for a night or two to get some privacy and enjoy the perks that this type of accommodation brings along.

Free Attractions

Every city you visit will offer many amazing attractions that you can check out without spending a dime, from local markets and cultural festivals to cozy galleries and free museums.

Fancy Meal

You’ll save a lot of money by preparing meals at a hostel kitchen, so why not treat yourself to a nice meal, delicious dessert, or a warm cup of coffee at one of the cozy cafés and restaurants?

Meaningful Souvenir

Instead of buying a bunch of souvenirs that will quickly be forgotten, invest your money into meaningful items that will remind you of your trip.

Self-Care Break

If you’re always in a rush to see as many attractions as possible, remember how important it is to take a self-care break and enjoy some peaceful moments during your trip.
