Planning to travel, but worried about the cost of doing so? Money constraints and tight budgets are among the biggest barriers to overcome. But the possibilities of travelling on a shoestring budget are now greater than ever. The following tips will help you get the most out of your trip for the least amount of money 1. Use budget airlines, trains or intercity buses and select a destination that isn't too far away 2. Pick a low-cost destination, travel out of peak season and scour the web for the cheapest dates 3. Avoid hotels. Instead, opt for hostels, sites like couchsurfing and airbnb or friends you know who can put you up for a few nights 4. Pack only carry-on luggage and purchase additional essentials upon arrival 5. Avoid too many tourist hotspots and gimmicks designed to trick or scam 6. Cook your own food or stick with simple street foods 7. Use public transport when travelling locally or... alternatively, walk or hitchhike (the latter's ill-advised in certain countries or regions)
