If Toronto happens to be one of your dream destinations, start saving money right away, since a visit to this city doesn’t come cheap. Accommodation can come with a pretty high price tag, and here’s a couple of ways to save money on your stay.

Airbnb

Finding cheap accommodation in Toronto is a mission impossible, and you’ll usually have to pay over 30 bucks for something decent – even for a hostel dorm. Airbnb is actually your best bet in this case since you’ll have a much easier time finding an affordable option near downtown.

Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing comes with its ups and downs, but it allows you to find free accommodation across the globe. The Facebook group Host a Sister is also an option for female travelers who have safety concerns about Couchsurfing.

Volunteering Opportunities

If you’re planning to explore Toronto for a longer period of time, volunteering at farms, community homes, and hostels is one possible solution. You can use websites as Workaway to find a perfect volunteering opportunity that suits your needs.
