Help with Budget

TIMING IS EVERTHING

It’s typically easier to find cheap flights when your travel schedule is flexible. Often, you’ll find the best deals when you travel in the middle of the week or take a red-eye flight overnight. It can also help to book early.

PAY WITH POINTS

You’re smart enough to know money doesn’t grow on trees, but earning credit card points and miles may have you thinking otherwise.

Fly with a budget airline

Speaking of budget airlines, they’re a great way to save money on regional flights — but only if you’re prepared to sacrifice a little comfort.

Get a job (or volunteer) overseas

If you’ve already graduated or will soon graduate, you might want to consider finding a job in a country you want to visit. Many volunteer programs also offer discounted housing in exchange for your help.

Walk!

No, not all the way there but once you’ve arrived in a city. There’s no better way to see a place than to stroll around, taking in the architecture and looking up at those exciting new skies.

Seek out free Wifi…

In libraries and cafés, so you don’t hammer your data. And if you’re phoning home to find out if it’s still raining there, don’t forget to use free services such as Skype or Google +.
