Everyone dreams of being able to travel around the world but not everyone has the luxury to do so.

If
you are tight on budget, here are 5 tips to realise your dreams without emptying your pocket.
Use Local Travel Agencies
They’ll know their territory best. When you use an agent, a good strategy is to tell them your travel
budget at the outset. They can then lay out the transportation, lodging, dining and local tour options
that will help you stay within that budget.
outset = the start/beginning lodging = accommodation/place to stay
Look for Currency Drops
The principle is simple: If a country’s currency value were to drop by, say 10 percent relative to the
U.S. dollar, then you’d get a 10 percent savings across the board on your expenses within that
country.
relative : in relation across the board : in all aspects expenses : cost
Don’t Rule Out Hostels
Many budget travelers seek out hostels because they can be a great deal with basic facilities. They
spend little of their time here.
Lunch Your Way to Savings
Eating lunches outside stretches your dining dollars. Pick up fruits, bread, cheeses and meats from local
markets and bakeries instead of in restaurants.
Rent a Bike, Not a Car
It lowers your costs and your carbon footprint. The emergence of bike rental fleets in many cities simply
gives you another great option and it is much cheaper than renting a car.
Be Aware of Local Scams
Research scams ahead of time online and in person by asking locals for tips after you arrive. Some scams
are seemingly free services that end up with you having to pay later.
