2. Let's talk some budget tips! I traveled on Breeze Airways recently, and I am intending to travel on Play very soon. We'll see what that volcano in Iceland does. Breeze was wonderful. I didn't expect pampering, and I was fine. The staff was nice, there were basic drinks available. You could purchase drinks and snacks. There were movies available if you brought a device. There was Wi-Fi. The Wi-Fi was $8.00, but it was good. I would happily fly with them again.
Other advice for right now. Always check alternate days for flying. If you can be flexible, you can save a lot of money. Don't bother with traveling during the high seasons. In most cases, the difference between traveling the day after Memorial Day and the week before is substantial. Look into renting an apartment. I've found this is thrifty! You have a kitchen, maybe more than one bedroom, and sometimes washer and dryer. This normally can be found for the same prices as a hotel room. It will save on weight in your luggage, food costs, and so much more. Catch me for more tips soon!
1. Arogonese Castle, Ischia, Italy. Here it is, a massive castle begun before the time of Christ. The history of this place is long and varied, and spans from moorish to Christian, to modern day. It sits on the tiny island of Ischia, adjacent to Naples in Italy. Not only can you visit this castle and learn about the museum, it's also the location for numerous events from plays to music and so on. You can even stay the night or visit the spa. It's a great addition to whatever you have planned if in the area.
4. The Tibetan Market and Monastery in Delhi, India. This is one of those hidden treasures in a city so crowded it's pure madness. Delhi is hot, crowded, busy, and can often be downright confusing to navigate. But, there's an entire neighborhood that's a bit calmer and has a different atmosphere than any other. Tibet was absorbed by China, and that created a lot of expats. No surprise there. This community has settled in Delhi and has set up their own way of life. Not only is the temple beautiful, but it is the only place in the city where you can buy sturdy outerwear for cold weather. Something different in the city!
5. Travel Hacking? This is all the rage. I'm still learning how it works. It involves getting travel credit cards and racking up the points to travel cheap. It does work. I'm still learning how. There are also chances to upgrade, join luxury lounge clubs and on and on. There are some apps, YouTube videos, and even classes offered online to learn how to save a lot of money and be able to afford to travel more! Can't wait to use it!
There you have it. Some ideas for places to visit and things to do to save money. Some sites to check out to learn how to travel more cheaply. I want to mention something very important here. Lots of people go nowhere, because they believe travel is expensive. If I had a dime for everyone I knew who went to Disney World every year, but believed that Europe was out of their range; I'd be rich. You don't have to spend a bunch of money. Go at an off time, book a budget airline, take the subway instead of renting a car in the city. There's lots of way to save money and go out and see the world. It might take some work or learning something new, but imagine the wonderful things you can see and do, and imagine what it would be like to truly live your life and enjoy!
