If you follow me on Instagram, I mentioned that Ryan and I share the same Rising Sign. We are both Sagittarius Rising Signs, which means we both share a love for travel. Traveling can get expensive, so we have had to find some ways to save money so we can afford to explore and travel as much as our hearts desire. So I am going to share some of those tips with you.

Time to answer the quintessential question: How can we afford to travel so frequently? I mean, after all, we’ve got full-time jobs, busy schedules, families, and various other responsibilities that may hinder us from booking that flight, taking that trip, and putting in that request for time off of work.

Traveling is a luxury that has become more affordable for the masses. While some traveling experiences still carry hefty price tags, it’s entirely possible to have an incredible vacation without spending all of your hard-earned savings. Whether you’re traveling to check out Minneapolis homes for sale, to a family gathering, or simply want to explore a new city, here are is how to spend less while traveling and have a great time.

Before any vacation to a place I have never been, I alway try to diligently research and plan; however, sometime I wish someone would just lay it all out for me! It is so much work figuring out how far everything is from where I am staying, what places to see, what is worth the money, and what order I should do it al in! So that it was I am going to do for you!

A trip to Florida is always going to be expensive, regardless of the time of year you go, and it’s mostly because of the ticket prices, but there are other ways to save money when going to Florida.

Global calling cards will allow you to stay connected with your folks or business partners and everyone while you’re traveling to different countries. We all want to call our home when we are far away. Especially for students who study abroad from Asian countries like India or Malaysia who find it really costly to make calls at home. But, why fear when international calling card is here? Yes, you are absolutely right. International calling cards can really come in handy when you’re dwelling in a hotel or a hostel. With an international calling card, you have to provide a fixed sum of money as per your call rate and length. Your call will be logged by the administration and you will be charged for the fitting sum from your card. The amount you will pay will vary the place and the time you plan to make a call. On the off chance that you make a long-distance call, you will be charged by the minute of your call and the cost will be charged depending on the ongoing call rate offer.

I'm very lucky. Travel has always been a massive part of my family's lifestyle and priorities, so by the time I left home for university, I'd been to a fair few countries and continents.

I've traveled. A LOT.

I like to believe that we all dream of cheap travel, but most of us never take the time to actually figure it out. We all talk about the places we will go, and the things that we will see later in life, but we hardly ever actually take the time to research and go. I have strived for years to travel and experience what I can on my ultra-low budget. One of the most common things that I hear from older people is how they wished that they had taken the time to travel more while they were younger. I do not want to say that when I'm older. Maybe its my own version of FOMO (fear of missing out)...

Traveling doesn’t have to be crazy expensive and there are many ways that people have found to travel the world with little money. I could tell you hundreds of ways to save money on traveling, but instead, I will show you how I recently traveled on a budget and was able to travel for less than $500. This story begins when I asked a friend of mine to travel with me a few months ago. We wanted to go somewhere cool, but cheap since we were both a bit tight on money. After all of our planning and budgeting, we were able to travel to Portland, Oregon from Phoenix, Arizona for less than $500 a person. Let me break down exactly how we were able to do this.

If you don't know what a capsule hotel is; it's basically a fancy hostel where, instead of sleeping in bunk beds, you sleep in a literal capsule together with 20-40 other people (all in individual capsules of course, not in the same one). All other areas such as the bathrooms are shared, but most capsule hotels do offer individual shower rooms to keep guests as comfortable as possible. In most of these hotels, it is also common to separate men from women, which is also common in hostels. This concept originated in Japan, and has since become popular all over Asia and Europe.

I've been sailing around the world for the past three years, by crewing on other people's sailboats, or what I call, Global HitchHiking. I have been on eight different boats and traveled over 35,000 nautical miles. I have spent 100s of days and nights at sea and been to over 40 countries. I have been to countries I've dreamed about going to my entire life. I've also been to many countries I hadn't ever heard of my entire life. I have caught wild wahoo, tuna, barracuda, shark, and many other kinds of fish over the past 3 years. I even caught a booby-bird in Christmas Islands by accident, which I was able to get disentangled from my hook and released. It has been the adventure of a lifetime and it's getting ready to come to a close.
