5 ways to travel around the world with no money
Who doesn’t want to travel around the world with no money? Except for a few everyone loves to explore new places and different customs and traditions. Somehow money is a crucial factor and gone are the days when you can only enjoy it if you have plenty of money to spend. Today, tables have reversed and people have started going out even with less or no money, it’s just that you have to research properly and plan your trips.
The internet is the place
People have started hosting free trips as a community where you can register and go around in groups. Check out Couchsurfing which lets you travel and meet new people locally. Complete your profile at the website and wait for the hosts to contact you. The internet is filled with such opportunities provided you are clear about your travelling strategy.
Start saving little by little
How may ever an article says that you can travel for no money, it never says that your air tickets will be free. You need money to buy at least your air tickets. Once you reach the destination, you may find communities to travel together on a budget. But buying your travel tickets is your own responsibility. Start saving from the day you think of travelling on a budget. Your current lifestyle habits will save up money for your future travelling trips. Sharing and caring for your travel buddies give ideas to plan better.
Go local
Find out about all local markets, housing accommodations and transport facilities before you start travelling. As much as you stay local, you will spend less or no money. Keep walking to explore new places or pool along with other riders. Buy veggies from the local market and cook at your place. This will help you save on eating out every meal.
Plan when nobody wants to
Planning trips in the off-season is also a good way to travel on a low budget. Airfares will be low cost and you can save money for further travelling after you reach your favourite destinations. It is also wise to include all nearby local places in your itinerary to save local transport expenses. Booking in advance also helps you save a big amount.
Pack intelligently
Take all necessary travelling things from your house so that you don’t need to buy anything from outside. You will save on currency differences also and can use money wisely on other things. Research about the climate, food availability along with housing available on the internet at the time of planning only.
