How to travel on a budget
Who wouldn’t want a holiday getaway? Not me, and definitely not you. But often times, the stress of planning a holiday and how it affects our finances makes holidaying difficult.
We’ve hacked it and delivered a seamless guide to getting away on a budget. Holidays don’t need to stress you. Think locally. There are lots of amazing holiday destination in Nigeria where you can have a great insta-worthy holiday without bleeding your finances. A few examples include: Erin Ijesha waterfall in Osun State instead of Tegenungan in Bali, Yankari national park in Bauchi State instead of Masai Mara national Reserve in Kenya, Kajunu castle in Kaduna state instead of Cologne cathedral (Kölner Dom) in Germany.
So to help you make progress on your travel dreams this December, here are three tips to help you town-hop on a budget.
- Use an affordable travel style.
Traveling by road can be such a chore especially if your journey covers long, inter state distance. Try booking air tickets a few months before your preferred travel date or searching online for cheap flights. Compare prices and pick the best deals. This December, don’t also forget to check your favourite airlines on social media and take advantage of whatever discounts or giveaways to enjoy more for less.
- Live like a local
It’s a holiday but don’t live like a tourist. Say no to overpriced restaurant meals and visit the local canteen around the corner for freshly prepared home style meal. Living like a local can help you learn more about your environment and help you get the most experience out of the travel trip.
- Earn while you holiday
Internet and social media has made the world a really small global village. Apart from having fun, and visiting exotic locations, you can also network or make connections which can be valuable to your business; every person you meet is a potential customer. You can also sell nicely taken photographs of all the places you visit to travel blogs, website and magazines.
