Traveling alone doesn't have to break the bank if you plans smart and makes thoughtful choices. Start by setting a daily budget that includes accommodation, food, transport, and activities—and stick to it! Hostels and guesthouses are cheaper than hotels and offers social opportunities too. For meals, eat where locals do; street food and markets are not just affordable but often more authentic than touristy restaurants.
Transport costs can adds up quickly, so use public transit instead of taxis whenever possible. Many cities have tourist passes for unlimited travel on buses and trains. Walking is free and lets you discovers hidden gems you might miss otherwise. When booking attractions, look for free walking tours or discounted tickets online—some museums even has free entry days.
To save on drinks, avoid ordering alcohol at bars where prices are inflated. Instead, buy local beers or wines from supermarkets to enjoy in hostel common areas. Travel during shoulder season (just before or after peak times) means lower prices and smaller crowds—you'll gets better deals on everything from flights to accommodations.
Track your spending with apps like Trail Wallet or Splitwise to avoid surprises. Remember, the goal isn't to be cheap but to spend wisely—saving on basics means you can splurge on special experiences that makes your trip unforgettable.
