1. Always Leave Room for Flexibility in Your Schedule
Things change. People change. You’ll meet people. Others will
recommend great places you’ve never heard of; you’ll discover
interesting places you thought you only needed two days in but
you’ll need a week.
If all your flights, tours and accommodation is pre-booked, it can
be costly to change and frustrating to leave a place you love!
2. Spend a Longer Amount of Time in Fewer Places
Why? It costs you less!
Transport can really eat into your budget, so instead of racing
through 20 countries in 20 days or 5 continents in 5 months, get
to know a region well. Racing around the world and visiting too
many countries can also be tiring.
Having to pack and unpack, deal with many airports or bus
terminals, border crossings and visa issues, can get you down. So
slow down, and take more in.
That way, you won’t suffer from burn out, and you’ll really get a
feel for a place and learn about the cheap places to eat and cheap
things to do.
3. Travel Like the Locals on Public Transport
You get great knowledge and insight by hanging with the locals,
it costs you less, and is a more authentic travelling experience!
We roughed it from Kenya to Cape Town using nothing but public
transport – it was amazing!
