How to Make Travel Cheaper

The most common question that I receive regarding travel is “how do you afford it?” There are so many simple ways to reduce costs when traveling, and the list below are ones that I swear by!

  • Travel to a popular destination during off season 

  • Use google flights explore feature to find cheapest options 

  • Don’t spend money on things you don’t care about (i.e. if you plan to go to a beach every day, you might not need a hotel with a pool) 

  • Use credit card points to pay for travel (this one is my favorite card)

  • Sign up for membership at airlines and hotels (this adds up HUGE over time)!

  • Fly into a major airport and then get a separate ticket to your final destination (this has saved me thousands of $$ over the years)!

  • Reduce food expenses by going grocery shopping in the city you are visiting (plus this is a really interesting way to experience the culture)

  • Sign up for Going (formerly Scott’s Cheap Flights) to get alerts about cheaper fares

 

P.S. our latest magazine The Streets of Paris is finally here! 84 pages of the people, movement, art, and cafes that help create the bustling Parisian culture. You can get a copy here!
