7 Ways To Travel On A Budget

Oleh tes -
At some point in all of our lives, we’ve experienced wanderlust to a degree. The desire to travel and to explore the unknown can be undeniable at some points. When you start feeling restless and want to embark on an adventure, it can be easy to get excited looking up plane tickets and fantasizing with your friends—oh, the places we’ll go! It can be just as easy to become discouraged by the price tag. Fortunately, there are some easy ways to cut expenses and make the trip you want happen. Here are seven easy ways to travel on a budget:

1. Camping
At first, camping might not sound as appealing as a hotel or a resort, especially if you aren’t already an outdoorsy person. Camping forces you to go outside of your comfort zone and spend some time away from things that could be distracting. After a long day of traveling, it can almost be a habit to want to veg out in front of a TV and disconnect from the world. When you’re camping, it brings you to appreciate your surroundings and the new environment you’re in, and to intentionally invest in those you’re traveling with. In addition to these benefits, camping is often less than half of what you’d pay if you stayed elsewhere. Some national parks even allow you to camp for free—which fits right into the budget!
2. Buying plane tickets ahead of time
If you choose to fly to your destination, it’s important to remember to buy your plane tickets as soon as you are able to. Buying your tickets early makes them cheaper than they would be if you buy them last minute as the flight is filling up. Being on top of things can aid you in saving money and a lot of unnecessary stress later on!
3. Packing your own food
If it’s an option, bringing a cooler with your own food can be useful. Buying food from a grocery store and eating that along the way comes out far cheaper than going out to eat three times a day (not to mention those gas-station snack breaks). Bringing your own food also encourages you and your group to eat healthier and overall feel better during the trip.
4. Driving
Plane tickets can get spendy! If you have a car available, driving to your destination get-away is a good way to save money. Carpooling with friends and having everyone pitch in for gas cuts prices way down. Driving also allows you to spend more time with your friends and family.
5. Finding less popular locations
Over spring break, destinations such as Las Vegas or Cancun are popular. As a result, the airline tickets and prices in the area skyrocket. Finding a less popular area to fly into, and then driving to your destination can make a serious difference in cost. Or, finding a new destination altogether is an option. Just because a location doesn’t seem as popular doesn’t mean that it isn’t a hidden gem waiting to be explored. It’s more exciting finding new locations, and you’ll have extra cash.
6. Take advantage of natural entertainment and free events
During the summers especially, lots of communities have free events going on. Finding free events to participate in will help you to have a better feel for the area and can add to the experience in ways you might not have anticipated. Another option is to utilize the natural entertainment—does your destination have mountains? An ocean? A rainforest? Hiking, lounging at the beach, or sightseeing is another cost-effective way to enjoy your trip while still getting out there and making the most of your time. You’ll experience more doing these kinds of activities than getting caught in a tourist trap.
Plan, plan, plan
Having a solid plan can keep you within your budget. For example, packing a map can save gas money when your phone’s service cuts out and you have to go without a GPS for a while. Making sure that you’ve packed enough food and water in order to be efficient with your resources can help you to resist the urge to impulse buy all the snacks at the gas station.

This is genuinely one of the most beautiful moments I've ever witnessed. The video description reads: "Jeff's brother Axel got a Visa in place for their mom, Madeline, who lives in Libreville, Gabon (about 23 hours of traveling by plane). Jeffrey had not seen his brother, who lives in South Florida, in about 4 years. Axel let me know the day before that he and his mother would be flying in for a surprise visit. I cleaned the house nice and kept the secret from  Jeffrey. Jeffrey and his mom had gotten by with keeping in touch via video chat and frequent phone conversations but 10 years is a long time without seeing each other. Money, distance, the Visa, and just life being factors in the lengthy time apart. After we had our son, Christian, her first born grandchild, it was a must that she come and meet him. SURPRISE!!!!

CAULIFLOWER TOTS

These crispy homemade tots are so flavorful, you won’t miss the potato. The cauliflower texture is so similar to the potato, some might even be fooled into thinking these are regular tater tots.  My cauliflower obsession continues. I really love how these turned out. And unlike some of the other recipes where you could still taste the cauliflower, in this one I couldn’t. I actually kind of missed the roasted cauliflower flavor, but these were still super tasty. Mr. K has his annual physical in a few days, so he’s been more amiable to my healthier substitutions. I’m taking advantage by making as many healthier dishes as possible. He gave this one his seal of approval.  These come out of the oven very crispy, with cheese and Italian seasoning to give them a delicious flavor. The bits of cauliflower felt just like the little bits of potato in my mouth. I’m definitely making this one again. CAULIFLOWER TOTS INGREDIENTS: -3 cups finely chopped cooked cauliflower (approximately 1
