You can save some money if you book your international flights from a large airport, and your flight from your hometown separately.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sign up for a rewards program:<\/strong> This won\u2019t save you anything initially, but you should never take a long flight without earning miles on it through a free airlines rewards program.

Staying at a hostel can save you a ton of money if you\u2019re willing to sacrifice some amenities and a bit of privacy. Start at\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/\">hostelworld.com<\/a>\u00a0and be sure to read the reviews of any location before you book. Always call ahead if you\u2019re concerned about the safety of the location, or to make sure the accommodations will be work for you or your group.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Couch surfing:<\/strong> This is another option that won\u2019t work for everyone, but if you\u2019re traveling solo and are on a really tight budget, you might want to check out\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.couchsurfing.com\/\">couchsurfing.com<\/a>. Instead of renting out a room or their home, some people let vetted travelers crash on their couches for free, with the expectation that the favor will be reciprocated in the future. It\u2019s a cool way to meet new people and save a lot of cash.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Call your international friends:<\/strong> If a friend or family member lives in the location you\u2019ll be visiting, and they\u2019ve previously invited you to stay with them if you\u2019re ever in town, take them up on it. At the very least, it never hurts to ask, and they\u2019ll most likely be thrilled to have you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"While_Youre_There\"><\/span>While You\u2019re There<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><span style=\"display: block; position: relative; z-index: 100; width: 44px; height: 44px; background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.65); float: right; margin-bottom: -44px;\"><br \/>\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/link\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lifesavvy.com%2F120166%2F25-ways-to-save-money-on-your-next-vacation%2F&amp;media=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lifesavvy.com%2Fp%2Fuploads%2F2022%2F03%2Ffe071bc4.jpg&amp;description=25%2B+Ways+to+Save+Money+on+Your+Next+Vacation\" aria-label=\"Pin this on Pinterest\"><br \/>\n<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"44\" height=\"44\" viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" role=\"img\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\"><g fill=\"none\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\"><path d=\"M15.164 18.532c-.011.039-.022.072-.03.106-.503 1.97-.56 2.408-1.076 3.322-.246.436-.524.847-.832 1.242-.034.044-.067.102-.136.088-.076-.016-.082-.084-.09-.145-.083-.599-.128-1.2-.108-1.803.026-.788.123-1.058 1.139-5.327a.295.295 0 0 0-.024-.178c-.244-.656-.291-1.32-.079-1.995.459-1.456 2.11-1.567 2.398-.366.178.743-.292 1.716-.653 3.152-.299 1.186 1.097 2.03 2.29 1.163 1.1-.798 1.527-2.71 1.446-4.067-.16-2.703-3.125-3.287-5.005-2.417-2.157.997-2.647 3.67-1.673 4.891.123.156.219.25.177.408-.062.245-.117.49-.185.734-.05.182-.202.247-.385.173a2.212 2.212 0 0 1-.9-.675c-.827-1.024-1.064-3.049.03-4.763 1.21-1.9 3.463-2.668 5.52-2.435 2.457.28 4.01 1.958 4.3 3.863.133.867.038 3.006-1.18 4.518-1.402 1.737-3.672 1.852-4.72.786-.08-.082-.145-.178-.224-.275\" fill=\"#FFF\"\/><\/g><\/svg><\/p>\n<p><\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-120886 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.lifesavvy.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/03\/fe071bc4.jpg\" alt=\"A man hikes in the mountains\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"LifeStraw\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">LifeStraw<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It\u2019s easy to splurge on shopping and attractions while you\u2019re on vacation, and almost give yourself a heart attack when you receive that credit card bill after you\u2019re back home.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some ways you can keep your spending in check, while still having plenty of fun:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Walk as much as you can:<\/strong> If you can do so, try to get in your steps instead of taking the bus or a taxi. You\u2019ll get the best view of the location you\u2019re visiting, as well as plenty of exercise. Plus, you\u2019ll save money on tickets and fares.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use public transportation:<\/strong> Not every location has a good public transit system, but most major cities, like London, New York, Paris, and Beijing, have train and subway systems that are much faster than battling traffic in a vehicle. Subway fare is also much cheaper than taxis or rideshare services, like Uber.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"product-box \">\n<div class=\"product-img product-img-noaward\">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"presentation\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B01M8O5HLY?tag=lifesavvysite-20\" onclick=\"fbq('track', 'Buy Button'); if (fb_t_convert){fb_t_convert();}\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51l2R5M4VZL._SL160_.jpg\" height=\"147px\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><br \/>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Buy food at a grocery or market:<\/strong> Eating out is a great way to explore the local cuisine, but all those restaurant visits can quickly add up. Try shopping for ingredients at a local market, instead, and make your own meals once or twice a day.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bring a refillable water bottle:<\/strong> While tap water isn\u2019t safe to drink everywhere, you should be fine filling up your water bottle at your hotel in most first-world countries.

In fact, the cheaper places are usually some of the most beloved by the locals because they offer some of the best (and most authentic) food in the area.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Take free walking tours:<\/strong> Yes, many tour companies offer free tours. They\u2019re usually limited to a couple of hours, and you\u2019ll have the option to tip your tour guide at the end (which, you definitely should). However, these are a fantastic, cheap way to see a city with some guidance. You can find many of these via\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/tourscanner.com\/blog\/free-walking-tours\/\">TourScanner<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Learn to barter:<\/strong> In many countries, haggling over prices is part of the culture, especially at street markets or stores with unlisted prices. Tourists are often quoted a price that\u2019s three, four, or even five times more than what a product is actually worth. If the price seems too high, don\u2019t be afraid to offer something lower. Just remember, there will always be some scammers in these locations, who are just trying to get as much money from you as possible.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Avoid shopping in touristy areas:<\/strong> We\u2019re not saying you should avoid the touristy areas altogether (they\u2019re popular for a reason, after all), but do try to spend as little money as possible in these locations. The shops and restaurants will be much pricier there. If you head just a few blocks away, you\u2019ll probably find lower prices everywhere.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Research tourism cards:<\/strong> City passes, like the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iamsterdam.com\/en\/i-am\/i-amsterdam-city-card\">I Amsterdam card<\/a>\u00a0and the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.visitoslo.com\/en\/activities-and-attractions\/oslo-pass\/\">Oslo Pass<\/a>, offer discounts on attractions, museums, public transportation, restaurants, and more.
