Save Money, Travel More! Budget Travel Tips By #WomenOnTheMove

Travel can be an expensive affair; but there are ways to bring the costs down and make the most of it. Budget travel tips by #WomenOnTheMove.

Travel – the most coolest thing on earth and highly addictive too, a positive one though. It promises of unforgettable experiences, adventure and an insane amount of happiness that accompanies avid travelers like me everywhere.

However, as fascinating as it might sound, there’s no doubt that travel can be an expensive affair. In order to keep the costs down and make the most of your holidays, it is imperative that the trip is planned in advance.

@womensweb Depends on the location. Around 2-3 weeks for road trips, 1 month for domestic trips and 2-3months for trips abroad. #WomenOnTheMove

@womensweb A2. A month or two is enough for a nearby trip. 5-6 months for international. Also early booking helps with cheaper flight/hotel prices

Budget – the most important element to take care of

Preparing a travel budget is not an easy task. It involves endless calculations and often unpredictable outcomes. But drawing a travel budget ahead of time is one of the best ways of keeping the costs as low as possible. Some budget tips from #WomenOnTheMove:

Travel off peak

@womensweb Absolutely, good deals is obvious, my fav part is that you avoid crowds and get places all to yourself

— Praveena Sail (@PraveenaSail) May 17, 2017

@womensweb Try my best to follow this rule as you get all the good deals, freebies, promo offers and most importantly avoid the crowd #WomenOnTheMove

Check for hostels and homestays for accommodation

@womensweb Don’t travel in peak season ie summers, brings down costs considerably Check out #AirBnBs YWCAs for accommodation

@womensweb I prefer to stay in homestays when traveling solo. I find them safer.

@womensweb Opt for lower budget accommodations like B&Bs. #airbnb is very helpful. Use public transport to cut costs further. #WomenOnTheMove

@womensweb 4. I always travel solo actually. I stay in hostels for females if they are clean. Otherwise 3 star hotel on a great deal. #womenonthemove

Go for public transports

@womensweb Get public transportation passes instead of taking cabs or renting cars. #tips #womenonthemove

Check for countries with weaker exchange rates

@womensweb Travel to countries with weaker exchange rates, also our neighboring countries like Bhutan, Nepal, or Sri Lanka are comparatively cheaper.

Women travelling solo – feasibility and apprehensions

@womensweb A4. Got the travel bug from my partner, so no. At least, not yet. But, traveling solo is definitely on my bucket list. 🙂

— Kasturi Patra (@PatraKasturi) May 17, 2017

@womensweb The one time I travelled solo I made sure the place had positive reviews online from other women.

@womensweb I stay in hostels that have special section 4 females or are only for females after intense research/read reviews on https://t.co/2qj9c4lNnL
