The Ultimate Travel Bargain!
Or . . . what to do if you don’t have enough time or money to travel this year.
Are you too busy or too broke to take a trip this year? Here are some alternatives. Contact your local Chamber of Commerce for a directory of all the museums, parks, and other attractions in your area, and/or check the Internet. Then go to the ones that interest you! Treat your home town the way you would any new city you’d be visiting. For example, how many New Yorkers have never seen the Statue of Liberty? Yet they’ll fly to Paris to see the Eiffel Tower!
Find out what plays and concerts are being offered by local talent. See what lectures are being held at your local library or college or are being presented by some local organization! What about local sporting events? Speaking of sporting events, try a new sport! Rollerskate, ride your bike, learn how to play tennis or golf or how to swim at the local YMCA; or take dancing or piano lessons!

Fantastic news! In addition to the tips and resources you find here on this site and in the ThriftyTraveling.com Newsletter, we are now all a-twitter with cool tweets to share with you! Some link back to this website. Some link to other cool websites I discover. Some tweets are simply occasional bursts of enthusiasm from ME! And others have helpful travel hints or resources I’ve recently uncovered.
If you’re on Twitter already, please follow me! If you’re not, SIGN UP! It’s really a lot of fun.
Due to a limitation in the number of characters you can use for a name, you will NOT find us at twitter.com/thriftytraveling, unfortunately. Instead, our “handle” is thriftytraveler. So please join the party at http://twitter.com/thriftytraveler. I’m just getting started, and it’s going to be a great ride!
While http://twitter.com/thriftytraveler is devoted exclusively to travel, I do have an additional site of my own. It’s located at http://twitter.com/maryvanmeer. That’s my personal site. While occasional travel items might be mentioned, it will include a variety of topics such as Internet marketing, organic gardening, blogging, photography, AND, of course, occasional bursts of enthusiasm over anything and nothing in particular! But I’ll mainly be trying to share links and resources and useful info about a variety of topics. I hope you’ll join me there as well as the thriftytraveler twitter!
The “Thrifty Traveling” Philosophy
The ThriftyTraveling.com Newsletter welcomes you to a whole new world of travel . . . with a different point of view! It’s not as much a question of the size of your travel budget but rather what kind of travel experience you are looking for.
Even if you are accustomed to strictly First Class, 5-Star travel, if you are open to a different type of adventure, try a trip based on the Thrifty Traveling approach. For the first time in your life, you will truly get to know the country, or state, or province you are visiting.
Stretching your dollar doesn’t have to mean limitation. In fact, it can mean expansion of your knowledge and awareness of your own country and of the world. You will meet more “locals,” learn their customs and outlook on life; see things the average tourist never gets to see; try the genuine food of that area rather than what most tourists eat; and make new friends.
Even if you are on a tight budget right now, don’t feel deprived. What an opportunity to learn and grow! What an opportunity for adventure!
