Holiday Ideas On A Shoestring

By Poppy Hill


Cheap travel does not necessary mean that you travel in the back of a lorry or by hitch hiking. Canny travellers will find a way of reducing their costs by searching around for the best deals which may include half price plane tickets. Don't tell the other passengers they may be jealous.

Meeting new holiday makers or perhaps travelling on your own to a new country either way have you thought about booking yourself into a travel hostel. They are not what they were years ago and have came along way since 20 or 30 years ago.

Renting a car is an ideal way of travelling around and would work out inexpensive if there are a few of you travelling together heading in the same direction. Alternatively there are good bus and train systems available you may perhaps consider using any one of them.

Thinking of two ways of getting to your destination fairly cheaply and they would be either to vamp up your plans and make them a lot more entertaining or find a good website which offers cheap deals.

One good tip is to try and split your journey where possible. This may sound a little silly to you but when I say you can make savings of over 1000 or $1000 by splitting your journey , you will sit up and take notice. A long haul flight can be a bit tedious so why not look at taking two separate flights and having a stop over for 1 or 2 nights to break up the journey. Even by stopping overnight at a midway point you will make a saving of around 1000 or less and also have an additional city break into the bargain.

Book a long stay in a winter sun resort not only will this make you feel great over the cold winter months back home but also save on utility bills from back home. Good offers include being away for anywhere up to 50 days at a time but can also include short breaks which are often reduced in price compared to the summer when the resorts are at their busiest. Have a look out for any deals going and be sure to have your bag packed all through the winter.

Why follow the crowd when you can go wherever you want for half the price. Instead of going where the crowds go for their holiday why not try a new place which will work out far cheaper than the normal busy resorts and much more exciting to visit. Try doing a little research into a different country or area and you will be amazed at the prices and placed you can visit for less than the trendy popular resorts which always hike their prices up when they see the crowds coming over to stay.

Finally the obvious one which is take advantage of any family member who is going on holiday and stay in a different part of the world for you. This saves on hotel bills but also the chance to stay in a home away from home. Have a safe and happy trip.
