TIP 1: Use public transport: No matter what part of the world you are exploring, each destination has it’s own preferred method of public transport. From Tuk Tuk to Subway, travel like the locals do to explore another side to your new home as well as saving yourself money on taxi fares!
TIP 2: Mix up your accommodation: Add variation and excitement to your travels by switching up your accommodation type; discover local hotels, meet new friends in resident hostels or explore the outdoors and camp under the stars.
TIP 3: Travel with others: Not only will travelling in a group or with friends create life long memories to share but you can also split costs of accommodation and meals and take advantage of group travel discounts. Group trip providers such as Topdeck Travel provide prospective adventurers a great option to travel independently, while also reaping the benefits and safety of travelling alongside likeminded people in
group.
TIP 4: Be authentic: Immerse yourself in the local culture by exploring street markets selling authentic cuisine made on the spot with homegrown local ingredients. Not only a treat for your taste buds but buying your meals like this can often be a lot cheaper than a sit down meal every day.
TIP 5: Explore sights by foot: Discover your new home’s history and heritage by visiting one of the many free activities on offer, this could be a walking tour, art gallery or museum! Make sure to do your research before you go too as many European galleries and museums are free to enter on the first Sunday of each month and some offer student discounted tickets too. Why not map out your day of free excursions and a route of how to walk between each to save costs on transport as well as discovering off the radar paths and tracks on foot.
