]]> The more time you’re on the road, the more money you’re going to spend, and long-term trips don’t come cheap. Luckily, there are many tricks you can use to stretch your budget and enjoy your adventure without financial stress, starting with these five.

Early Bird

The sooner you start planning your trip, the more money you’re going to save. You’ll find the best deals on accommodations, flights, and activities if you book them as early as possible.

Off-Season Travel

If you’re planning to spend a longer period of time on the road, make sure to do it off-season when prices for flights, accommodations, and other expenses tend to be on the lower side.

Right Destination

Not all travel destinations are created equally, and your choice will determine how much money you’re going to spend. It’s always a good idea to opt for countries with a lower cost of living for long-term trips, starting with Southeast Asia, South America, and Eastern Europe.

Accommodation Choice

Accommodation will be your biggest expense during long-term trips, so consider the cheapest possible options, such as hostels, Couchsurfing, or even Workaway. Finding accommodation for a long-term stay once you reach the destination is also an option.

Cheap Transportation

You can also save a lot of money on transportation by using buses, trains, and trams. They’ll be much cheaper than plane rides, and you’ll be able to bring a lot of baggage on board without paying expensive baggage fees.

]]> With the prices of just about everything going up, everyone is doing their best to save some money here and there. It would be insanity to give up all our little luxuries, but here are some handy hacks to spare a buck or two. 

Thrifting and Flipping

If you’re a lover of vintage items and have a good eye, you can use thrifting to your advantage. Go on the hunt for “gently used” items from good quality brands at yard sales (or in your grandma’s closet—with permission, of course!) and sell them to your favorite thrift store. The shop will usually give you store credit which you can then use for a new wardrobe.

Soap Bar Over Body Wash

Does it feel like your body wash always runs out so quickly? Us too. Try switching to a bar of soap instead. Whereas a bottle of shower gel will typically last a month and cost around $3-5, you can get about eight bars for the same amount that will last you six months.

Get Groceries Delivered

There are two kinds of people, those who can stick to a shopping list and those who can’t. If you’re the latter, rather get your groceries delivered to avoid temptation when going to the store.
