TRAVEL BUDGET TIPS BY JULIA SERVICE W hether you’re hoping to spend fall break in New Orleans, next spring break in Barcelona or maybe a semester abroad in Paris, planning trips like these usally revolve around one thing – money. How much will gas cost? What about plane tickets? Is it cheaper to stay in a hotel or an Airbnb? These tips on saving money when you travel will hopefully help you cut some corners and save money that can go towards funding the more important things of life, like your next adventure. 44 Spring 2020
Craft a budget Without setting a limit for yourself ahead of time, your spending can add up quickly between dining out, that extra drink with dinner, souvenirs, and tours. A budget can help you be more conscious on how much you’re spending and what exactly you’re spending your money on. Caitlyn Hughes, a junior nursing major at The University of Alabama, always sets a maximum amount that she can spend on certain things, like no more than $40 for a meal or $700 for a plane ticket. Hughes finds this practice beneficial because it keeps her from “getting ripped off” and spending all of her money all at once. Pack your own food Before Celia O’Bryan, a junior at Hope College, left for a weekend trip to Paris during her semester abroad, she made sure to pack multiple peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to limit how much she’d have to spend on food. With most Airbnb’s and hostels you’ll have access to a kitchen, and some hotels have mini fridges in the rooms, so you can store premade food or stock up on some cheap and easy groceries like sandwich ingredients to cut down on expenses. Depending on your hotel or hostel, they might also provide free breakfast. Stay in a hostel When traveling in Morocco, University of Alabama junior Brooke Tuthill, an international studies major, stayed in hostels that averaged around $10 a night, which was much cheaper than staying at a hotel. Tuthill said that as long as you do some research, you should be able to find “a decently nice hostel for fairly cheap.” Hostelworld and Hostelbookers are great resources for finding hostels, and both have rating systems that include an overall score as well as a breakdown of categories like cleanliness, safety and location. There are also reviews that you can read before booking. If the idea of sharing a room full of bunk beds with mixed genders makes you uneasy, some hostels do provide female-only rooms and single rooms. Don’t forget to bring your own lock (or two) for the storage lockers. Websites for cheap flights Websites such as Skyscanner, Student Universe, and even Google Flights can find the cheapest flights and compare them for you. Kennedy Toomey, a computer science major at The University of Alabama, used Kiwi to catch a flight from Barcelona to Dublin, then from Dublin to London while she was studying abroad in Spain. She liked Kiwi because it checked her into her flights when it was time and sent her the e-ticket. If you’re not ready to make the purchase yet, you can sign up to receive notifications if the prices change. If you have flexibility with the dates you can travel, then you’ll be able to find that the flights can get even cheaper. Spring 2020 45
