• Get cheaper plane tickets. A lot of people spend a fortune on their plane tickets. In order to save, book well in advance. Many airlines can offer a discount if you book say 3 to 6 months before your flight. Also, take the time to compare prices and make use of comparison websites.

 

• Take public transportation. Instead of getting a taxi each and every time you go out from your hotel, you can save money if you take public transportation like buses and trains.

 

• Travel with groups. Travelling with at least 3 to 4 people will help you cut your expenses significantly. For example, you’ll only pay 50per cent if you share your accommodation with a friend or a family member.

 

• Look for free WIFI. Internet connection can be expensive in other countries. Before you pay for WIFI, see if you can get it for free.
