One of the privileges of living in this day and age is that almost anyone can travel to almost anywhere in the world in a matter of hours. No longer is it a privilege reserved for the rich and famous as airlines continue lowering their prices to maintain their competitive edge. Nonetheless, traveling can often be highly stressful as we are leaping out of our comfort zones and into the unknown. Questions race through our minds. Will anyone there understand me? Have I planned enough? Can I afford it?

This article shall go over some of the main things you should and should not do if you intend to travel on a budget. This list is not meant to be definitive but rather to outline some basic steps that one can take to make their budget travel as stress-free as possible. We shall be focusing mainly within the context of international travel, though many of these tips could readily apply to shorter day trips.

Do plan a daily budget.

This one is simple, really, yet it is amazing how many people don’t do it. For me, the easiest way to plan a daily budget is first to ask how much you are planning to spend overall. From this deduct the transportation costs and accommodation (more on this later). Then divide what is left by the number of days you are planning on going away.

For example, let’s say I was going to London for ten days. I planned to do it with £2500 overall. My airfare costs £600, while my accommodation will cost £120 per night (London isn’t cheap). So for nine nights, my accommodation equals £1080. Therefore airfare plus accommodation equals £1680. Take that away from the overall budget of £2500, and we are left with £820. Divide that by 10(the number of days I am in London), and you have £82 as your daily budget. For a single person, this is substantial. The same rule applies if you are budgeting together for two or more people, except you need to allow for roughly twice as much for your daily budget, not to mention your other expenses will be roughly twice as high.

I live for travel. I love to see places and people and feel the wind in my hair as we soar through the sky. I spend my time in the mountains, on the beach, and by the lake. I’m always on the hunt for adventures and I’m always looking to share my experiences and tips with others.
