[su_quote cite="Al Gini" class="cust-pagination"]“Vacations are seen as an antidote to work, they are medicine, a remedy for counteracting the effects of labor. Vacations allow us to be away from the no perfect, to change patterns of our day, to alter our routine, to reconfigure our actions and habits, to rediscover ourselves.” [/su_quote]
DO YOUR RESEARCH
We are living the world full of amazing technology, so be sure to make use of it as much as you can. One of the best ways to do it is to do your research on everything you need to know about your upcoming vacation.
Before you actually think of how you’re going to save on this vacation, you must first focus on where you are going, how long will it take, how will you get there, what are the activities that you will be doing, and of course, how much will everything cost you.
The wonders of the internet and smartphones must be used for this. There are amazing apps out there that could tell you what you can do in that particular place, where you can stay, all the good but cheap restaurants you could try. It is also ideal to check out for some blogs from people who have been to that place that you’re looking at since they will surely give an honest review about how things went for them.
SHARE IT WITH FRIENDS OR FAMILY
Once you have done your research, it would be cheaper for you to actually ask if your other relatives or friends would like to join your family for this vacation, this could help you save a couple of bucks since you can split some fees here and there. It is also convenient since you could have people looking after your stuff or take your family pictures, but of course, you would do the same for them.
USE YOUR CREATIVITY TO GET SOUVENIRS
It is perfectly normal to actually want a souvenir item from the place you went to, however, souvenir shops are just so pricey so it is not really ideal to get into it especially if you’re on a budget and you’re straying to save as much as you can.
Then again, there are actually ways you could actually have souvenirs if you went to the beach, then get some sand or seashells and put them in a jar. Don’t forget that taking photos and videos of your trip is also considered as souvenirs since they just carry memories, and the best thing about this is that it is totally free.
USE THE WI-FI WISELY
Finally, another great way to save up is to take advantage of the WiFi in the area if there is any. If you need to make some calls then call them using WiFi if you can. There are a lot of places that offer free WiFi so it is best to use it instead of using some of your phone’s credits.
