Junk food or traveling on a minimal budget

    No wonder they say that if a person really wants something, he will do everything for this. The rest of the options are just excuses. Nowadays, going on a trip without having the proper funds is quite realistic. Moreover, there are unexpected life hacks on how to survive. And sometimes survive with special comfort in the most expensive countries in the world.Today we decided to dwell on a few of them and get your opinion on this matter. After all, stereotypes in our minds sometimes close in front of us the very doors behind which there is a dream.

    So, how can you save on trips without having money or counting on minimal costs. The first rule of budget travelers is to prepare in advance. In one of the articles we wrote about travel on credit. In this case, special preparation is not necessary, but if not immediately, but the funds will be spent. Therefore, you should pay attention to the resources where information is provided on preferential flights. You may have to pay some amount here. To save time and find a flight that will cost you several times cheaper. However, there are a number of bloggers and travel enthusiasts who share their experiences for a regular subscription or repost.

    In addition to good advice from experienced people, you can save a certain amount if you decide to travel in a rented car. Of course, car rental is not cheap, and you can hitchhike to travel long distances. But for those who cannot deny themselves independence, you can use the car rental aggregator. This will reduce the price by thirty forty percent, as well as purchase profitable insurance that will take care of the safety of you and your wallet in the event of an accident. By the way, earlier booking a car will allow you to choose the desired car.

Try to avoid additional paid options by downloading maps of the area in advance.

    And having planned a trip and knowing the distances covered, it will be easier for you to decide on the choice of cars. If you need to travel far, then it is better to take a car with the condition of unlimited mileage, since surcharges for kilometers in excess of the daily limit can make travel much more expensive. We also recommend that you familiarize yourself with the rental rules and traffic rules of the country you are visiting. For fines in their size can quickly nullify your savings. No matter how trite it may sound, but knowledge in this case will help you a lot.

In a bit of contrast, after the desire to save on car rentals, we turn to the global savings on food on a trip.

    However, food makes up a huge percentage of the cost of any trip. Where it is impossible to take enough food with you, the method chosen by the freegans has become popular. Namely, food from the garbage. Of course, it is difficult for the Russian contingent to adequately perceive this way of eating. Since our dumps are somewhat different from foreign ones. But the very possibility of not buying food on a trip will save you a lot of money.For those who dare to live in another country, you can find detailed instructions on where you can and where you do not need to take food in different countries. It should be mentioned that the delay, including for several hours or goods with a broken wrapper, are disposed of in special packaging and placed in clean plastic bags. Sometimes displayed in boxes. So, with proper preparation, you will already know where, how and when to get the food you need. You can even create a menu.

    If you still disdain to eat from the garbage, then on the same resources you can find out where in the backyard of restaurants you can talk with chefs and ask for food from them. And do not forget about the discount on cooking in the evening. For those who prefer hostels and camps to hotels, there is an option to get "free food". This is what previous travelers did not have time or did not want to eat. For the most part, these are pasta and long-term stored products. What you usually take with you on a trip. Here you can leave your surplus, if any.

Another point of a budget trip is the use of services that provide cashback.

    It's nice when a certain percentage of the funds used will return. Let's go over other points that allow you to save money. This is using free wifi. Now almost everywhere there is this opportunity. Hotels, cafes, shopping centers and other public places provide this service. A local SIM card is often more profitable than universal roaming, and a tourist card, sometimes free, will give good discounts. For excursions, too, it is not always necessary to pay. Try looking for free options. Often there are sightseeing tours for transit passengers.Therefore, for sociable travelers, it is worth asking about this guest network. This is a real opportunity to make your dream come true for less money. And going on a trip for a long time, you can stay at the hotel for a couple of days in order to find cheaper accommodation on the spot. Find out about discounts for long stays - since you have decided to stay for more days, why not pay less for it. Many recommend in this case to take apartments.

    Returning to the implementation of their own desires, we can summarize. The impossible may well become reality. If you approach the realization of the aspiration wisely and use the amazing amount of information available in our time. Your dreams are in your hands. As well as the safety of your funds. Save what you can just by spending a little time.
