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!

The “Thrifty Traveling” Philosophy

February 26, 2009 · Filed Under Free Travel, Travel Discounts, Travel Information, budget travel · Comment 

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!

September 8, 2008 · Filed Under Thrifty Traveling Book, Travel Tips · Comment 

You will either spend time planning your trip ahead of time or else you’ll be figuring everything out DURING your trip. Personally, I’d rather have the “game plan” created in advance so I can relax and enjoy my travels. If you agree, you’ll love this 450-page book.

Thrifty Traveling is filled with forms, checklists, resources, and tips. It shows you how to easily-but-thoroughly plan a trip.   If you’re not sure WHERE you want to go, this book has forms that will help you figure out the best destination for you, complete with a custom-made itinerary!

If you want a stress-free trip, be prepared.  Plan your vacation in advance.
