]]>Book a Hostel
Hostels are solo travelers’ best friends, and that’s not a coincidence. In addition to being a great place to meet new people, they’re the cheapest type of accommodation on the market. You can save a fortune by staying at a shared dorm with other fellow travelers.
Try Couchsurfing
Couchsurfing is even cheaper than hostels because you can use it free of charge. This hospitality exchange website allows you to find local hosts who are willing to host you without chagrining you anything. Finding the right host isn’t easy, especially if you’re a Couchsurfing newbie, but it’s worth a shot.
Be Flexible
Being flexible with your travel plans can save you a lot of money on accommodation. Consider shortening your stay to cut on your expenses and think about switching to a cheaper place to stay on Friday and Saturday nights when prices tend to be the highest.

]]>Make Your Bag Noticeable
In a sea of regular black suitcases, it can be hard to notice your own, so put an extra effort into making sure it stands out. Consider buying unique luggage in distinct colors or try to personalize it with stickers, tags, ribbons, or luggage straps.
Label Your Baggage
Even if your baggage is impossible to miss, it’s still a good idea to label it properly. Make sure to tag your bag with your name and contact information in case it ends up lost or stolen.
Come Prepared
Once you reach the baggage carousel, make sure you’re in the right place and stay patient because it’s just a matter of minutes before your bag comes out. Keep an eye on the carousel as soon as it starts rotating and you’ll notice your bag in no time.
Essentials in Your Carry-On
Lost and delayed luggage is one of the most annoying parts of travel, and it happens to be best of us. Avoid going into panic mode by packing all the essentials in your carry-on, such as your meds, electronics, and a change of clothes.

]]>Be Flexible
Be flexible with your dates when traveling to touristy places, and try to go there off-season when everything tends to be cheaper, from accommodation to plane tickets.
Cheaper Accommodation
Accommodation is usually the be the biggest expense of each trip, but you’ll barely spend any time there. Ditch expensive hotels for hostels and Airbnb or consider using Couchsurfing to find a local host.
Ask Locals for Tips
Speaking of the locals, their tips can help you find cheaper places to visit, from restaurants to galleries. In addition to being more affordable, these places will likely have a more authentic feel and be less touristy.
Budget for Tickets
From museums to amusement parks, popular tourist attractions often have high entrance fees. It’s a good idea to set a budget for these tickets, and only go to places that really interest you.
Planning is Key
Spontaneous trips have their perks, but they can cost you more than you’ve bargained for. That’s why it’s a good idea to do some planning in advance and know precisely how much time you need to explore everything you want to see.

]]>Book Early
The earlier you book your vacation, the more affordable options you’re going to find. It’s also highly recommended to avoid vacationing during major holidays when possible because prices tend to be the highest during that time.
Visit Your Loved Ones
If you have loved ones that live near a popular winter resort or a city with a Christmas market, check in if you can spend some time with them this holiday season.
Don’t Go Solo
Solo trips come with a long list of perks, but they’re not such a great fit for a holiday vacation. If you just want to sit back and relax in a warm and cozy cabin, it’s better to do it with your friends and family—in addition to being much cheaper since you’ll get to share the expenses.
No Winter Resorts
Winter resorts are best avoided when you’re looking for cheap accommodation. They have overblown prices and you can have as much fun if you stay in a nearby area and visit them when you feel like doing winter sports.

]]>Explore Your City
You may have lived in your city for just a few months or your entire life, but now is the time to truly explore. Treat it as a tourist would and check out the museums, monuments, and trendy hot spots.
Eat Out
Part of discovering a new place is sampling all the culinary delicacies they have on offer. Your favorite restaurant will still be there when you “return from vacation”—now is the time to try out that new bar and visit the best eateries your city has on show.
Get Some Sun
Some like to venture from site to site on their holidays, while others enjoy taking it more chilled and lounging by the pool. Lay out a towel, grab a good book, and lather on the sunscreen—you’re on vacation, after all! Some hotels will also allow you to spend the day by their pool, even if you don’t have a reservation.
(@viajes__coloridos)Prioritize Self-Care
Take the time to focus on yourself and do a little pampering. Head off for a spa day or DIY it at home with some nourishing face masks. Schedule a massage, or take a long bath with candles, aromatherapy oils, and soothing music.

]]>Reviews
Reading reviews may be boring, but they can give you all the useful information you need. Even if the accommodation has a good rating, reviews can help you make the final verdict.
Hidden Fees
Certain types of accommodation aren’t always as cheap as they seem. Taxes, cleaning, and service fees may up their price, and you should add them all up to find the most affordable option.
Cancellation Policy
Are you 100% sure you’ll make it to your accommodation or could something change along the way? If your plans aren’t set in stone, look for a place with a flexible cancelation policy.
Location
Never book accommodation before checking if its location suits your needs. Opt for a place that’s close to the attractions you want to visit, even if it’s a little bit more expensive.
Facilities
Accommodation is also worth the extra cash if it’s equipped with all the facilities you need, such as a shared kitchen, private bathrooms, and free towels and toiletries.

]]>Perfect Material
Like all suitcases, carry-ons can be divided into two main groups—soft-shell cases made out of fabric and hard-shell cases made out of plastic. They both have their pros and cons, and it’s up to you to decide what your priorities are. Hard-shell suitcases are more durable and resilient, while soft-shell ones are known for their flexibility and lightweight.
(@lucyinthesskyy)Perfect Dimensions
Dimensions are one of the crucial factors to take into consideration when it comes to picking your suitcase. Different airline companies have different rules when it comes to the dimensions of the carry-on that you can take on board. Do your research and pick a suitcase that fits the requirements of most airline companies.
Wheels and Handles
Wheels and handles are just a tiny part of your suitcase, but that doesn’t make them any less important. Always opt for a carry-on with four wheels because it’s easier to pull your suitcase this way, and make sure that handles are strong enough because they’re usually the first part of the suitcase to get damaged.

]]>Be Spontaneous
Visiting major attractions in a foreign city is a must, but using your trips to be more adventurous and explore new places could really pay off. Ask the locals about the attractions that are actually worth visiting, and you’ll probably end up discovering places that are not so popular among other tourists.
Learn About Culture
Visiting museums is not the only way to learn about other cultures while traveling. Talking with locals, trying local food and traditional costumes are actually the best things you can do to explore new cultures.
Learn the Language
There’s no need to be fluent in a foreign language in order to travel and speak with people. However, learning a few basic phrases such as ‘thank you’ or ‘excuse me’ can really make your travels more fun and enjoyable.
Be an Early Bird
We know that waking up early on vacation is not the most popular idea, but it could really pay off. Early birds will get to enjoy the sunrise, visit more places and avoid crowds.

]]>Architectural Marvels
Some of the world’s most stunning bookstores are located inside breathtaking historical buildings and they’re worth the visit for their architectural beauty alone.
Bookstore Cafés
Many bookstores around the world come with a charming café on the premises, where you can relax after a long day of sightseeing.
Great New Books
Buying books is the most obvious reason for visiting a bookstore, but there’s a catch. Bookstores in foreign countries are a great place to discover new books that you couldn’t find at home.
Amazing Souvenir
Bookstores also happen to be a great place to find souvenirs—from books to other tiny trinkets that you can take home to your loved ones.
Local Experience
Since they’re usually not as popular as some other tourist attractions, bookstores are a great place to mingle with the locals and attend a wide range of cultural events, from reading nights to art exhibitions and concerts.
