]]>If you don’t mind a bit of snow and rain, visiting New York City in winter is the way to go. The city can look quite charming during this time of year, and the prices tend to be lower than usual mid-January through mid-March.
Many people who work in New York don’t actually live in the very heart of the city, and you don’t have to stay there either. Instead of renting an expensive room in Manhattan, go with Brooklyn or Queens instead.
If everything else fails, you can always try scoring a free place to stay on Couchsurfing. If you’re lucky enough, you may stumble upon someone who’s ready to host and show you around, free of charge.

]]>Make sure to pack a bag of travel toiletries before embarking on your trip, since it’s highly unlikely you’ll get them for free at your hostel.
The majority of affordable hostels charge extra for towels, so try to always bring your own to avoid their pricy rental fees.
If you’re renting a room in the dorm, you’ll end up sharing the bathroom with other guests, so it’s always safe to shower in a pair of flip flops you brought along.
Getting a good night’s sleep at a hostel can be tricky, so make sure to pack a pair of earplugs so other guests wouldn’t disturb you at night.
Padlocks are another tiny necessity hostels often rent for an extra fee, and you’ll need one to secure your belongings inside a locker if you’re not alone in your room.

]]>The kind of accommodation you’re booking should fit the type of trip you’re embarking on. If you’re not going to spend the entire day enjoying the amenities your hotel is offering, and be outside exploring the city instead, there’s really no need to spend a fortune on your accommodation.
Put public transportation to some good use during your travels. There’s really no need to book a cab from the airport, since there’s usually a bus or a train taking you straight to the city center, and it costs so much less.
It’s natural to try popular local foods during your visit to a new country, but you don’t have to go to fancy restaurants every day to do it. Local markets are filled with dozens of traditional foods, and there’s no harm in making a light meal at your hostel every once in a while.

]]>Here’s a list of things you shouldn’t forget to include in your travel budget.
Getting injured, missing your flight or having to move to a different accommodation – these are all unexpected situations that might happen on a vacation. In order to deal with them as quickly as possible make sure to factor in these expenses into your travel budget.
Chances are that you’re going to forget to bring some items such as toiletries, an umbrella, sunscreen or other things. It can also happen that you simply don’t have enough room in your suitcase to bring all these things. In this case, you’ll have to bring enough money to buy them later.
Unless you have a detailed list of activities for your trip and plan to stick to it no matter what, you have to leave some wiggle room in your budget for different travel activities. Stumbling upon an unusual museum or finding a fun excursion to a nearby place is always a possibility that you don’t want to miss.
