I often come across people saying that they don’t travel because travelling is expensive…
and I AGREE!
Travelling can be expensive if you choose that (which is also OKAY!)😃
What makes it expensive or cheap are the CHOICES you make! If you choose to enjoy the simple pleasures over luxury, then travelling can be very CHEAP!!!
When I started out as a college student, I chose hostels, public buses, street food and even hitchhiking to be able to afford those trips. Even today I choose to travel this way because beyond the money part, these things give you a true local experience of a place!
And this CHOICE is beyond just cheaper options while travelling. I choose to prioritise travel even in my daily life… saving money for trips instead of buying branded things, optimising my leaves in a way that I can use them for travel, choosing to take weekend trips instead of spending on parties and enjoy the discomfort to save that money cause the beautiful memories would make up for it anyway ❤️
You can get better deals and save even more money if you –
📍Stay in hostels or govt. run stays
📍Eat local food from local shops & cafes
📍Volunteering (that’s how I started travelling during my early days)
📍Work for hostels – showcase your skills and get to explore in return
📍Having a monthly amount dedicated to your travel fund (no matter how small)
📍Planning in advance to get cheaper prices
And even if you don’t want to volunteer but just have a relaxed vacay you don’t need fancy stays or extra luxury. Trust me, the real fun and true memories come with the simple, local and raw experiences of a place!!
So the next time someone says, “Oh, but..travelling is expensive” just SHARE this video with them😉
