5. Keep a travel fund

Traveling can really put a dent in your pocket — but there are ways to save up to travel, especially when it’s well-planned. Create a travel fund, separate from your regular savings account, and deposit a regular amount of what you can give every month.

4. Sign up for airfare newsletters

During certain times of the year, airlines dish out promos that drop airfares. Sign up with different airlines’ newsletters to be alerted about different sales. You can also set alerts for specific trips you want to go on to.

3. Schedule your trips in advance

Take out a calendar, plot the long weekends and holidays and set your trips then.

2. Couch surf

Couch surfing can be an excellent way to get to know locals and take the off-beaten path, as well as save up on lodging.

1. Eat where the locals eat

Not all Michelin-starred establishments are fancy restaurants — eat where the locals eat, whether it’s at a local deli or a street joint, and widen your sense of adventure.
