2 Tricks For Traveling On The Cheap

There MUST be a loophole into all the expenses (or rather out of them) that come with travelling. You wish to see the world! You crave to experience other cultures! They seem so close yet so far away, mainly because they cost an arm and a leg to get to. But, there are ways to travel for super cheap as well as free, that don’t involve all those sites that promise to have the lowest prices but in the end all have the same ones.

Be a roadie!

Want a real adventure that immerses you into everywhere you visit? It doesn’t matter if you have a job that you think puts you “above” this sort of job, or if you have no experience in it: look for jobs on Craigslist like being an extra hand on the set of concerts or shows. You could be a helper to a band, helping to book their rooms on tours, making sure things are set for them, setting up the catering backstage at their concerts and so on. And you can bet they’re going to cover your airfare, bus faire, whatever because you are an invaluable part of their crew! Really, any way you can be of help to a travelling group like this would be great. If you’re a voice coach, sell yourself as an essential to have while travelling for the lead singer. Promise to keep them singing high notes perfectly nightly. Promise to help them master vocal vibrato and keep a handle on it since it can be easy to lose that while travelling. Promise to have a variety of breathing exercises for them, that you’ll guide them through night and day. Show that you’re going to enhance their work immensely.

Blog about travel

This method takes a little more legwork but really pays off once it gets going. Start a blog about travel! If it gets really popular, you’ll start being invited around the globe to luxury resorts to try spa treatments and gourmet meals all for free, just so you give the providers exposure on your blog. It definitely takes work to gain that kind of popularity, but if you start a site, a Facebook page and a Twitter all for this, and dedicate time each day to building these, you can really build those numbers. Think about it: supplying you with a $400 a night room for three nights, multiple spa treatments, free meals and airfare is nothing for a resort if your article about them lands them even just ten bookings. They give you one free trip, and make up the money tenfold when you write about it.
