While some may think taking a holiday to the Maldives is a costly affair, it does not have to be. Yes, you can splurge and enjoy the finest luxuries, but you can also plan a budget-friendly vacay while experiencing the finest of what the country has to offer. Intrigued? Here is a guide on how you can do just that and have a getaway like no other!

We've all heard about how buying local is better. It supports local businesses and farmers, gives you a stronger connection to the product, lowers the environmental impacts of travel and lessens contributions to unsafe and unfair work places. But what about adventuring local?

Over the years, accommodation facilities have increased in great length. Even so in terms of both pricing and quality. In addition, the location of these facilities and the amount of people do matter. What’s more, if you want to keep travel cost low, camping is your best option.

If you are a student, then the chances are that traveling is one thing you have been willing to have more of on your calendar but could not afford. We’ve all been there! Don’t even try to deny it.

So we’re merrily rolling along in somewhere called “Whaley Bridge” about a fortnight ago when BAM! The exhaust fell off. As you can imagine, that isn’t going to be free to fix. The RAC patrol worker was great and did a temporary fix. But it needs to be done permanently. And guess what, we have no idea how much it is going to cost! And guess what else, we’re not exactly rolling in it right now. I’m used to living on a fairly tight budget. I’m one of five children and my mum raised us on one wage. So budgeting is something I’m fairly familiar with. But budgeting in a van is a whole different ball game. Yes, you have fewer outgoings. But you also have fewer incomings unless you’re working full time. So I thought I’d make a budget in case anyone was in the same or similar situation to us.

Believed to have been built around 1450, the Incan-built city of Machu Picchu sat quietly enclosed between two mountains - the Machu Picchu and Huayna Picchu mountains - before an American historian brought it universal fame in 1911. In 2007, Machu Picchu was voted as one of the seven wonders of the world. It now attracts more tourists than any other site in Peru, and is one of the top tourist sites in all of Latin America. With only a limited amount of people allowed into Machu Picchu daily, the task of visiting this historical wonder may seem daunting to even an experienced traveler.

Whether you love or hate vanlife, you’ve got to admit it’s kind of interesting. I mean, who hasn’t secretly thought about jacking it all in and living on the open road? We’ve all thought about it at some point. Even those people who completely shit on the idea are secretly a bit jealous. Everyone’s vanlife experience is totally different and there are some negative things, of course. But there are some really great things about vanlife that pretty much everyone will love.

Traveling as a volunteer is something that many are searching for. Because it simply costs less, and it gives you the ability to help humanity in more ways than one.

Hello everyone!

Hawaii is known as an expensive vacation destination, and the island of Maui is no exception. However, my sister and I recently returned from eight nights on this tropical paradise, and we did it on a budget! If you’d like to see Maui, Hawaii without the typical price tag, take a few of our tips.

I love to travel but like many I don't have unlimited funds. I do not like to spend a lot of money when I travel. The less on spend on a single destination the more I get to see. My London trip was planned on my way to Morocco. Seeing that I would have a layover in London I decided to reschedule my outbound flight and decided to stay for four days. I decided to do London as cheap as possible. I probably could have cut a few more corners but I did want to treat myself a little bit.
