Pre-planning

I believe you should plan your trip few days or even months before the actual date. You can set the required budget and daily expense limits. It is the most important part of your travel. If you don’t pre-plan, it might cost you more than you think.

I divide the travel budget into three categories which are stay, food, and accommodation. Apart from that, you have to keep extra money in case you might need it if emergency or crisis arises.

Travel sites on the internet have all the information that you need regarding the place. While searching for information, you can plan for your budget, and travel where you want to. Pre-planning will help you save money and prevent you from doing extra expenditures. However, it is advisable to keep some extra money apart from your travel budget, in case you face an emergency.

The work types are same as the regular office works, but you can do it at your own pace from wherever you want to.

Check Flight Rate in Incognito Mode

While planning for the trip, always check airline prises in Incognito mode. It is a small but helpful hack to save your money.

Usually, when you check the flight prices from the normal browser, the airline companies inflate the prices when the demand increases. The company analyses it through the browser cookies when you visit the website. However, the company could not track the user engagement in incognito mode and the flight prices will not hike this way.

 

Affordable Stay

Hotels are the traditional ways of staying when you are on your trip. However, there are some alternatives which some people better consider. Hostels and AriBnbs are great options at an affordable range to stay. Hotels provide you comfort and privacy. It is a suitable option for family trip.
AirBnb is another great option when you are travelling with your family. AirBnb online site allows you to book an entire flat or space where you can live as in a house. You can even cook your own meal.

Hostels or Zostels on the other hand, are better options to save money while travelling. Although, it will not give you privacy like the hotels, but you can meet other fellow travellers and make new friends.

 

Use VPN

Using a Verified Protected Network is one of a hack in its own. It can help you find cheaper flight rates. Usually, the browser tracks cookies which have all your relative information. The prices for the flights fluctuate as per the demand.

When you search for flight rates by configuring a VPN, you might observe a huge difference in price which could save you money. The prices vary from place to place. Here’s what you can do:

•        Download VPN in your device

•        Select any server 

•        Search for the flights

•        Compare the flights on different servers until you find the desirable deals

•        Delete the browser cookies

Public Transport Over Taxis

Choosing public transport over taxis has its own benefits. Public transport will cost you less than a taxi ride. Metros, trains, buses, and trams are the mostly used public transports around many cities.
Meanwhile, you also get to observe locals of the area you are travelling to. The ticket price is much less, and you might feel safer among the bunch of people.

The other benefit is that many places are switching to biodiesel and electric buses. Such initiative reduces the carbon emission, which the biggest concern for the present world.
