Traveling can be a fun way to gain life experiences, especially during Spring Break-a week-long school vacation in the United States. But what if you're a student and don't have enough money for a trip? Don't worry. Here are some useful suggestions. ● Save : This probably is the most important preparation for traveling. Cut expenses to fatten your wallet so you'll have more choices about where to go and how to get there. ● Plan ahead : Don't wait until the last minute to plan your trip. Tickets may cost more when bought on short notice. Giving yourself several months to get ready can mean security and savings. ● Do your homework : No matter where you go, research the places you will visit. Decide what to see. Travel books will provide information on the cheapest hotels and restaurants. ● Plan sensibly : Write down how much you expect to spend for food and hotels. Stick to your plan or you may not have enough money to cover everything. ● Travel in groups : Find someone who is interested in visiting the same places. By traveling with others you can share costs and experiences. ● Work as you go : Need more money to support your trip? Look for work in the places you visit. ● Go off the beaten path : Tourist cites may be expensive. You may want to rethink your trip and go to a less-known area. Smaller towns can have many interesting activities and sights. ●Pack necessary things : The most important things to take are not always clothes. Remember medicine in case you get sick and snacks in case you cannot find a cheap restaurant. ● Use the Internet : The net can help to save money. Some useful websites include www. travelcity. com, www. bargains- lowest fare . com and www. Economic travelcity. com. By planning sensibly, even students can enjoy the travel. Your travel experiences will be remembered for a lifetime.
