This seems like utter common sense, but you’d be surprised to know a lot of people fail to follow through. While you won’t need an hour-by-hour schedule, you should at the very least have an idea of how long you’ll be spending in each city or country and know the route that you’ll take. Leaving less to chance means less unexpected spends. If you are planning for your next trip, plan it ahead, give a try on some pilgrimage tours like the ones at https://www.immanuel-tours.com/catholic-groups/. You may also try going to a beach or resort for a more fun and exciting trip. Begin planning the most meaningful trip you will ever take!

Being smart about where you stay is a great way to not blow up your budget. For example, staying in a student housing Rooms in the City and backpackers hotels are a good way to save a buck. Living closer to all the spots you want to visit means you spend less on transportation! The Seated App is also a great way to save money at restaurants.
4.Be careful of how you pack

If you’re planning a weekend trip try to pack light and use only hand luggage, saving yourself a bit of money on hold luggage. Also, make sure you have everything you need with you, so you wouldn’t have to purchase a new one in a different country!

Always book in advance. Airlines announce their flight seats up to a year in advance and the closer you get to your departure date, the more the prices increase, especially in the last month. Flying economy is great too! The money you save on cheap seats can be spent on food or accommodation when you arrive. Low-cost, budget airlines are fine for short flights and regularly have cheap deals.
6.Take advantage of public transport.

Travelling around a new city via bus or metro might be daunting, but it’s definitely a great, cheap way to get around the city. Not only will you get to experience the city as a local, but you also get to save a lot of cash on renting vehicles and cabs. But if you will travel in a group, it would be best to consider limo rental to make sure you get to your destination safely.
7.Earn while you travel
