In the meantime, here are some of my top tips for saving money on your next adventure:
A simple Google search for “free things to do in destination” can reveal a goldmine of budget-friendly activities.
Local tourism boards are another great resource, often providing updated lists of free events, walking tours, and cultural experiences. Not only is it more affordable, but it also offers a glimpse into everyday life in your destination.
Google Maps is a great tool for navigating public transit, and many cities offer multi-day transit passes that can save you even more money. Plus, the staff are often locals who can recommend places that tourists typically miss.
Consider staying in hostels, using points for free hotel nights, or exploring options like house-sitting and camping.
If you’re open to more unconventional stays, platforms like Airbnb, TrustedHousesitters, and Workaway offer unique opportunities to save on accommodation while experiencing destinations in a different way.
