People working from home fully embraced workations as their go-to form of travel over the course of the last year. They allow you to explore new places while still earning money as usual, but it’s important to put an effort into staying on budget—and these tips will get you there.
Perfect Destination
Places with a high living standard rarely come with cheap prices, and that’s why they’re not such great workation picks. Try to opt for a destination that won’t force you to break the bank, and compare the prices of food, accommodation, and other expenses before hitting the road.
Accommodation Pick
Some people book workations that last for a couple of days, but it’s more common to stick around in one place for a few weeks. If you want to do it, try to avoid rentals that are paid day-to-day. Find short-term accommodation, and try to look for a cheap, local place if you’re sticking around for longer.
Food Dilemma
There’s nothing wrong with eating in fancy restaurants and trying local specialties, but keep in mind this is not a viable option in the long run. Food is one of your biggest workation expanses, and you can save a lot by eating street food and preparing your own meals.
