I’m having so much fun on my Texas Travel Spring Break! Traveling is such a huge part of who I am and it’s something I live (and budget) for.
Here’s a few travel tips:
Anyway you can save money is key.
1) Make a deal with your group to only eat out one meal a day by packing ice chests with sandwiches, drinks, and snacks. Also, you don’t have to eat at fancy-schmancy restaurants, either. I love eating at local, hole-in-the-wall places. We always meet the friendliest people and eat the best local food.
2) You don’t have to stay in a 5-Star resort to have a good time. I’m hardly ever at my hotel. But do your research online and read reviews. Share a room with friends and split the cost.
3) Do your research ahead of time and find out what’s free or relatively inexpensive to do around.
4) Take cash and stick with that budget. Recount your cash at least once a day to see how you’re doing.
5) Make an agenda or itinerary. Time is precious! Also, backtracking to places you already were nearby the day before is costly by means of time and gas. Have a plan.
6) Have a go with the flow attitude. Things happen. Even vacations can be stressful, sometimes. But, with a positive attitude you you think clearer and wiser. Happy travels!
