Skill to save travel budget:

# Make a travel budget and stick to it. Decide how much you want to spend overall and how much you want to spend for each component of your trip, such as airfare, hotel accommodations, entertainment, and meals.
# Don’t forget about those unexpected expenses. Set aside money in your travel budget to cover those costs you might not anticipate, like a perfect souvenir or a forgotten travel essential.
# Pick a hotel with free extras. Choosing a hotel with many free amenities, such as Internet access, parking, and local calls, can save money. Best Western hotels offer other freebies, like basic toiletries and continental breakfasts.
# Book early and online. The earlier you book, the more you may be able to save. Going online to book your trip also lets you take advantage of Internet only travel deals.

Bring a tent to provide your own room, this way you can save a lot of money than renting rooms in a motel and hotel. To complete the adventure, sleeping in a tent is certainly the best idea.

Even road trip is said to done by most spontaneous people in the world but sometimes it is necessary to do a lot of planning ahead of time, such as reservations in popular campgrounds, you will need a good map and a plan as to where you will stay each night if you are planning to camp with your friends. On the other hand, be resourceful and flexible as you might see something you wish for and want to check out along the way of your road trip. If you didn’t make it to you camp destination, just take a rest and start tomorrow.

Hello

1. Airline Tickets – Plan in advance and visit discount websites to see if there are better deals. While these sites might charge you a service fee ($5 or so), they can easily combine flight segments from different airlines easily to give you a great deal. (bonus – get even more savings by finding a Travelocity promo code before you book a trip)

2. Connecting Flights – You might think connecting sucks but it sure saves you a good chunk of money doing it. Consider the pros and cons and don’t write it off right away.

3. Travel Light – Airlines are starting to charge for everything now and if you have 2 bags or more, expect to be charged for it. Remember to not use over sized bags whenever possible and try to keep it all within one bag per person.

4. Substitute – Consider packing really old clothes (if you plan to buy new ones on the trip). This way, you can keep one luggage and still have room for purchases.

5. Always Look into Round Trip Tickets – Sometimes, one way tickets are so expensive that the round trip ticket is cheaper. Just don’t use the return trip. (I know it’s weird but I’ve seen it myself)

6. Try to Get Back to the Same Airport – Flying in and out of the same airport is almost always cheaper. It’s not only the flight tickets but the car rentals as well.

7. Traveling to Two Countries – If you are planning to stay in two countries and an airline makes you change planes on those countries anyway, you might be in luck. Check pricing on the flights to see if you can stay a few days at the country of the flight change instead of changing planes right away since airlines often let you do that for the same price.
