If only travelling in faraway places and countries can be done navigating the globe by just directing a finger, I would have gone out on the road and just walked away. It may not be for everyone, though, especially for those who may not have enough money to defray the daily costs. However, it will be surprising how little you can spend if you know your way to people and grab a few tips here and there.
Going places overseas need not be expensive. Start by working out how much money you are going to need and be cost effective. Then you can create a distant view by polishing some incremental expenses to make the travel experience worth every single penny that goes out of your pocket.
For example, New York to Europe and back, the best airline discounted airfare can be as low as $800 for a round trip ticket, and book early. If you are with friends, $2,000 can be enough to get you a month’s stay. Once there, decide about what activities you can do. If you are visiting places, you can either take the bus passes and enjoy of the most amazing views or rent a car and splitting the cost later on.
It also pays to be friendly with travelers who may just be of the same turn of mind as you are. They can refer you to hostels if you’re staying for a few days or sleeper berths if overnight with cheaper deals and show where you can find the cheapest food and better restaurants as well.
On a lighter note, international travel gives us benefits through some unspecified means and the experience is more personal. It is different than just watching a travelogue in the Internet or in front of the television what we only perceive about the world. Travelling has more glamour and sophistication. We gain more education, relaxation and enjoyment. There may even be times it won’t go according to plans, but an open mind will always bring forth that fantastic and memorable experience.
