These are some real life ways we make travel affordable for our family of 9 on every trip.
1. Booking an Airbnb for a full month is significantly cheaper than bumping around ton different ones.
2. We cook a lot of our own meals. We almost never eat breakfast out, whether we’re traveling or not, and try to pack lunches for days out if we can.
3. Spending days at the beach, or walking around a new area you haven’t explored is going to save crazy money compared to going to every theme park and water park along your route.
4. When we do want to do something super touristy, we often choose to get there the cheapest way and explore ourselves, instead of paying for a tour. This can also take stress off if you’re traveling with young kids, cause keeping up with tour isn’t always fun when they’re bored out of their mind.
5. We walk A LOT! Like many km’s a day a lot of days. And when it’s too far to walk, we take public transit if it’s an option.
