transcription

Just because you're short on cash, doesn't mean you can't see the world.
You will need: Patience to sniff out the best deals,... ...willingness to rough it,... ...and the ability to be flexible. Optional: A budget travel guidebook.
]Step 1: Use travel consolidators on and offline. They snatch up empty airline seats, and unsold cruise cabins,... ...and resell them at a great discount. Sign up to receive information on last-minute deals. Call hotels directly to see if you can negotiate a cheaper rate. Step 2: Consider youth hostels,... ...especially in the more expensive cities around the world. You'll sacrifice privacy, but you'll save a bundle. If you live in a popular travel destination, consider swapping homes with someone.
Step 3: Rely on street food vendors for most of your meals. If you like to eat out, make lunch your daily restaurant treat instead of dinner. Step 4: Check out student rates on bus and rail passes. Be a "voluntourist" in a country you'd like to visit. You'll get to explore a new culture while helping out the locals... ...and maybe, even wrangle some school credit for the experience.
Step 5: Be flexible. Monday and Thursday departures are generally cheaper than weekend fares,... ...and save a bundle by flying into a less popular city,... ...and then catching a train, or driving to your desired destination. Step 6: Vacation in the off-season,... ...when prices are cheaper and you don't have to fight the crowds. Did you know? According to one survey,... ...French air travelers rate safety as less important than getting a cheap seat.
