So you want to travel on a budget. Who
doesn’t? Yet it’s easy to get overwhelmed by
all the cheap travel tips, hacks and strategies
out there that promise unbelievable deals on
airfare and hotels.
In reality, there’s only one important tactic
for traveling cheaply: being flexible with your
travel dates, destination and plans. It might
sound simple — or even simplistic — but
you would be surprised how few travelers are
willing to take this piece of advice to heart.
To be fair, this flexibility-first mindset requires
a paradigm shift for many in terms of how they
start planning vacations. It requires moving
from this type of planning:
“I want to go to Amsterdam from Sept. 5th
through 13th.”
