]]> Europe has it all: iconic cities, quaint villages, mountains, beaches, and lakes. Unsurprisingly, it’s one of the most popular backpacking destinations in the world. If you’re ready to explore the continent and discover some of its best-hidden corners, there are a few golden rules to know before you set off on your journey.

Be Savvy About Accommodation

Even in Europe’s pricier destination, the hostel system means there is always an affordable place to stay, and some hostels are truly fantastic. During the summer, university accommodations are also a cheap option in some countries. If you’re traveling during the peak summer months, it’s important to book in advance.

Take the Train

Getting around by train is the best option when traveling through Europe, and you will get to appreciate the diversity of the continent at ground level. Plus, you can make longer journeys overnight and sleep on the train, which will save costs for accommodation.

Eat Like a Local

A backpacking budget shouldn’t stop you from savoring the many great cuisines of Europe. If you skip the tourist traps and stick to locals’ recommendations, you’ll find plenty of affordable and worthwhile foodie experiences.

Get Outdoors

When traveling through Europe, it can be tempting to go on a capital cities tour—but you’ll be missing out on a lot. Europe has much to offer in terms of the great outdoors – from Bulgaria’s Rila Mountains to Portugal’s beautiful Alentejo coast (and everything in between).

Hoi An, Vietnam

To most, it’s one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Hoi An offers within-budget homestays, family-owned hotels, and hostels that can cost as little as $4 per night. Imagine floating down the river past local artisans, colorful lanterns, and marveling at the historic temples and pagodas.

Budapest, Hungary

Budapest is rich in history and abundant nightlife. The metro system makes it easy to explore its many sights, from Turkish baths to ancient buildings, including Matthias Church or Buda Castle. There are plenty of low-budget hotels and lodgings. Don’t forget the city’s most famous “ruin bars” that operate in its ancient ruins.

Prague, Czech Republic

Prague is the European rite of passage. While it has gone through severe changes in the past 20 years, it still maintains its old-world charm. Cheap beers, epic nights, and memories will last forever. Prague has an excellent tram, metro, and bus system if you’re looking to get around. That being said, the city is pretty much walkable!

]]> When you think of places to fly on low-cost airlines, Australia might not be the first place that pops into your mind. While budget airlines are more popular and commonly-used in other continents like Europe and Asia, it’s totally possible to get around the Land Down Under without breaking the bank.

Let’s take a look at the two main budget options in the world of Australian aviation.

Jetstar Airways

Jetstar Airways is owned and operated by Australian carrier Qantas, offering a cheaper, low-frills version of their service. This company offers flights to 19 Australian airports and 15 international airports, including ones in Hawaii, New Zealand, Japan, and Southeast Asia. It’s a great option for discovering Australia itself as well as a base for discovering other places.

Tigerair Australia

Tigerair Australia, founded in 2007 and a pioneer in budget flying in the continent, operates a fleet of 14 mid-sized jets that provide flights exclusively in Australia at the present time. From Perth to Darwin to Sydney, you can use this airline to get anywhere you need to go to Australia without breaking the bank.

]]> The capital city of Madrid, Spain is home to a collection of some of the best art museums on the planet. The “Golden Triangle” of the Museo del Prado, the Museo Reina Sofia, and the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum make up a trio of places that are a definite must-visit for any art lover.

What’s best of all is that all three of these museums can be visited without paying a single cent! Here’s your guide to visiting Madrid’s best art museums for free!

Museo del Prado

The Museo del Prado features one of the best collections of art on Earth, featuring both Spanish and European artists. The museum’s permanent exhibitions can be visited for free from 6 pm to 8 pm from Monday-Saturday, and from 5 pm to 7 pm on Sundays.

Museo Reina Sofía

If you are a fan of 20th-century art and works such as Picasso’s unforgettable “Guernica,” a stop at the Reina Sofia is a must. Fortunately for your wallet, admission is free on Sundays from 1:30 pm to 7 pm! From Monday to Saturday (excluding Tuesdays, when the museum is closed), you can also get in for free from 7 to 9 pm.

Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza

Despite being a private collection, the Thyssen-Bornemisza also features free of charge opening hours! Plan your trip carefully, however, as the only free time slot offered is on Mondays from noon until 4 pm.

]]> Eastern Europe is a part of the world that is gaining more and more interest as visitors begin to realize all of the marvels that this underrated part of the continent holds. One of the small nuisances that can make travel to this region difficult is the perceived lack of air service on budget airlines to the region’s cities.

However, don’t lose hope! Here are some budget airlines that you should check out if you are looking to plan a trip to Eastern Europe.

Wizz Air

Wizz Air, a Hungary-based company, is arguably the biggest player in budget flights in Eastern Europe. Servicing Hungary, the Czech Republic, Ukraine, Poland, the Balkans, and the Baltic States with flights from the rest of the continent, Wizz Air is a great choice.

Smartwings

Smartwings is a Prague-based airline that is expanding rapidly and beginning to service lots of Eastern Europe. It has especially good routes to the Balkan states, servicing Greece, Croatia, Bulgaria, Albania, and Montenegro.

SkyUp

SkyUp has only been around since March 2018, but this Ukranian airline is starting to make its mark on the air travel industry. It provides comprehensive service to Ukraine and even flies to unique destinations like Georgia and Armenia.

Ryanair

While Ryanair is an Irish company, I would be remiss to not mention the budget air giant here. While it originally focused on Western Europe, Ryanair now comprehensively services Eastern Europe as well, providing plentiful connections between the region and the rest of the continent.

]]> Want to get away? Well, as we all know, one of the best ways to escape the boring routine of everyday life is to buy a plane ticket and take off to an unknown destination! Unfortunately, the damage it does to our wallet makes it tough to pull the trigger on a ticket.

If you’re tired of spending top dollar on plane tickets, here are some tips that will help you fly cheaper!

Search for Flights Using Private Browsing

Did you know that airline websites use your cookies to monitor your search activity and often raise prices on tickets based on your internet browsing history? Use a private browsing mode to keep the prices from raising based on this practice.

Buy Tickets on Tuesdays or Wednesdays

Did you know that the cheapest days to buy plane tickets are Tuesdays and Wednesdays? Due to lower demand on these days, airlines often lower the prices of tickets on these mid-week days.

Check Out Google Flights

Google Flights is an awesome tool that helps me to find cheap flights on a regular basis. It gives you all kinds of neat tools like price trends and “explore mode” that helps you look for cheap destinations on the days that you have available for vacation.

Sign Up for Email Lists

There are plenty of email lists and services such as Scott’s Cheap Flights and Jack’s Flight Club that provide a daily email listing current flight deals from a variety of airports, all free of charge! These services are extremely useful for helping to find cheap options.

Fortunately for us, there is a wealth of resources online now that can help us to find out tips and tricks that make the costs of traveling go down. One resource that I find immensely helpful in the pursuit of money-saving while traveling is The Travel Hack.

This Instagram account is run by Monica, a travel blogger from the UK. She posts a wealth of interesting ideas that help travelers to save money while globe-trotting, all while having a great time and not limiting yourself.

While Monica sometimes doesn’t explicitly talk about how to save money on her Instagram account – instead she is sharing links to posts on her blog – her Instagram still shares plenty about under-the-radar and cheap destinations, as well as other various travel hacks.

I've got a confession to make. In recent years I've become a bit of a holiday snob. I hate admitting this because I really don't like holiday snobs – the kind of people who turn their nose up at certain destinations because they're too 'touristy' or too 'popular'. But do you know what, some places are popular for a reason and it's because they're flipping gorgeous. Getting off the beaten track is fun, but visiting the popular touristy places is just as good too. I didn't think I'd really love Tenerife. I thought it was just another seaside resort, all-inclusive, package-holiday destination. And it is this but it's also so much more. It's beautiful and there's lots to see and do, it's surprising and I felt like we were on a different island each day we were away. But one thing I liked best about Tenerife is that it's easy. It's easy to get there, easy to drive, easy to find things to do and easy for families thanks to all the resorts. It's really affordable, you're almost guaranteed sunshine and you can easily get by with just a little bit of 'Spanglish'. You know, where you use all the Spanish words you have and fill in the gaps with English. Holidays are meant to be easy and Tenerife turned out to be the perfect easy but adventurous island! Photo taken at Playa del Duque, Costa Adeje. It reminds me of the kind of place I went on family holidays as a kid and I absolutely loved it. #teletextdoestenerife

Nuts

Nuts are another great snack option for when you’re traveling. In addition to providing nice doses of carbohydrates, proteins, and healthy fats, nuts are easy to store anywhere. Peanuts, pistachios, almonds, and cashews are some of the best options in this category!

Bars

“Bars” include basically any cereal or nut-based bar that can be taken with you. Nowadays, products such as protein and fruit and nut bars are plentiful in supermarkets everywhere. They’re super easy to carry with you, and they provide plenty of nutritional value while helping to keep you full.

]]> When you think of places to fly on low-cost airlines, Australia might not be the first place that pops into your mind. While budget airlines are more popular and commonly-used in other continents like Europe and Asia, it’s totally possible to get around the Land Down Under without breaking the bank.

Let’s take a look at the two main budget options in the world of Australian aviation.

Jetstar Airways

Jetstar Airways is owned and operated by Australian carrier Qantas, offering a cheaper, low-frills version of their service. This company offers flights to 19 Australian airports and 15 international airports, including ones in Hawaii, New Zealand, Japan, and Southeast Asia. It’s a great option for discovering Australia itself as well as a base for discovering other places.

Tigerair Australia

Tigerair Australia, founded in 2007 and a pioneer in budget flying in the continent, operates a fleet of 14 mid-sized jets that provide flights exclusively in Australia at the present time. From Perth to Darwin to Sydney, you can use this airline to get anywhere you need to go to Australia without breaking the bank.

]]> The capital city of Madrid, Spain is home to a collection of some of the best art museums on the planet. The “Golden Triangle” of the Museo del Prado, the Museo Reina Sofia, and the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum make up a trio of places that are a definite must-visit for any art lover.

What’s best of all is that all three of these museums can be visited without paying a single cent! Here’s your guide to visiting Madrid’s best art museums for free!

Museo del Prado

The Museo del Prado features one of the best collections of art on Earth, featuring both Spanish and European artists. The museum’s permanent exhibitions can be visited for free from 6 pm to 8 pm from Monday-Saturday, and from 5 pm to 7 pm on Sundays.

Museo Reina Sofía

If you are a fan of 20th-century art and works such as Picasso’s unforgettable “Guernica,” a stop at the Reina Sofia is a must. Fortunately for your wallet, admission is free on Sundays from 1:30 pm to 7 pm! From Monday to Saturday (excluding Tuesdays, when the museum is closed), you can also get in for free from 7 to 9 pm.

Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza

Despite being a private collection, the Thyssen-Bornemisza also features free of charge opening hours! Plan your trip carefully, however, as the only free time slot offered is on Mondays from noon until 4 pm.

]]> Eastern Europe is a part of the world that is gaining more and more interest as visitors begin to realize all of the marvels that this underrated part of the continent holds. One of the small nuisances that can make travel to this region difficult is the perceived lack of air service on budget airlines to the region’s cities.

However, don’t lose hope! Here are some budget airlines that you should check out if you are looking to plan a trip to Eastern Europe.

Wizz Air

Wizz Air, a Hungary-based company, is arguably the biggest player in budget flights in Eastern Europe. Servicing Hungary, the Czech Republic, Ukraine, Poland, the Balkans, and the Baltic States with flights from the rest of the continent, Wizz Air is a great choice.

Smartwings

Smartwings is a Prague-based airline that is expanding rapidly and beginning to service lots of Eastern Europe. It has especially good routes to the Balkan states, servicing Greece, Croatia, Bulgaria, Albania, and Montenegro.

SkyUp

SkyUp has only been around since March 2018, but this Ukranian airline is starting to make its mark on the air travel industry. It provides comprehensive service to Ukraine and even flies to unique destinations like Georgia and Armenia.

Ryanair

While Ryanair is an Irish company, I would be remiss to not mention the budget air giant here. While it originally focused on Western Europe, Ryanair now comprehensively services Eastern Europe as well, providing plentiful connections between the region and the rest of the continent.

]]> Want to get away? Well, as we all know, one of the best ways to escape the boring routine of everyday life is to buy a plane ticket and take off to an unknown destination! Unfortunately, the damage it does to our wallet makes it tough to pull the trigger on a ticket.

If you’re tired of spending top dollar on plane tickets, here are some tips that will help you fly cheaper!

Search for Flights Using Private Browsing

Did you know that airline websites use your cookies to monitor your search activity and often raise prices on tickets based on your internet browsing history? Use a private browsing mode to keep the prices from raising based on this practice.

Buy Tickets on Tuesdays or Wednesdays

Did you know that the cheapest days to buy plane tickets are Tuesdays and Wednesdays? Due to lower demand on these days, airlines often lower the prices of tickets on these mid-week days.

Check Out Google Flights

Google Flights is an awesome tool that helps me to find cheap flights on a regular basis. It gives you all kinds of neat tools like price trends and “explore mode” that helps you look for cheap destinations on the days that you have available for vacation.

Sign Up for Email Lists

There are plenty of email lists and services such as Scott’s Cheap Flights and Jack’s Flight Club that provide a daily email listing current flight deals from a variety of airports, all free of charge! These services are extremely useful for helping to find cheap options.

]]> If there’s anything that limits our ability to travel, it’s usually money. While going outside of your home environment to find new corners of the globe is a fantastic experience, it’s sometimes simply too expensive for us to do with any type of frequency.

Fortunately for us, there is a wealth of resources online now that can help us to find out tips and tricks that make the costs of traveling go down. One resource that I find immensely helpful in the pursuit of money-saving while traveling is The Travel Hack.

This Instagram account is run by Monica, a travel blogger from the UK. She posts a wealth of interesting ideas that help travelers to save money while globe-trotting, all while having a great time and not limiting yourself.

While Monica sometimes doesn’t explicitly talk about how to save money on her Instagram account – instead she is sharing links to posts on her blog – her Instagram still shares plenty about under-the-radar and cheap destinations, as well as other various travel hacks.

I've got a confession to make. In recent years I've become a bit of a holiday snob. I hate admitting this because I really don't like holiday snobs – the kind of people who turn their nose up at certain destinations because they're too 'touristy' or too 'popular'. But do you know what, some places are popular for a reason and it's because they're flipping gorgeous. Getting off the beaten track is fun, but visiting the popular touristy places is just as good too. I didn't think I'd really love Tenerife. I thought it was just another seaside resort, all-inclusive, package-holiday destination. And it is this but it's also so much more. It's beautiful and there's lots to see and do, it's surprising and I felt like we were on a different island each day we were away. But one thing I liked best about Tenerife is that it's easy. It's easy to get there, easy to drive, easy to find things to do and easy for families thanks to all the resorts. It's really affordable, you're almost guaranteed sunshine and you can easily get by with just a little bit of 'Spanglish'. You know, where you use all the Spanish words you have and fill in the gaps with English. Holidays are meant to be easy and Tenerife turned out to be the perfect easy but adventurous island! Photo taken at Playa del Duque, Costa Adeje. It reminds me of the kind of place I went on family holidays as a kid and I absolutely loved it. #teletextdoestenerife

Nuts

Nuts are another great snack option for when you’re traveling. In addition to providing nice doses of carbohydrates, proteins, and healthy fats, nuts are easy to store anywhere. Peanuts, pistachios, almonds, and cashews are some of the best options in this category!

Bars

“Bars” include basically any cereal or nut-based bar that can be taken with you. Nowadays, products such as protein and fruit and nut bars are plentiful in supermarkets everywhere. They’re super easy to carry with you, and they provide plenty of nutritional value while helping to keep you full.
