Travel Cheap And Sometimes Free

Traveling is not only for the rich and famous.  Even if you do not have a lot of money to spend, you can still travel around and marvel at the greatness of the world.  It is possible to travel cheap and sometimes, you can even travel for free.  All you really need is a dash of creativity, some courage and a lot of enthusiasm.  Do not let money get in the way between you and experiencing the wonders of the world.  Here are some tips you can use to start travelling cheap:

House-sit. 

There are several online forums where you can find people who are looking for people to do house-sitting for them. Explore the internet for houses in other countries but you can also tell your friends and relatives about your intentions so that they can help you spread the word. Tap community groups (universities, church and community centers) to see if there are available houses you can sit.

Volunteer

Aside from being able to carry out your altruistic intentions, volunteering for a worthy cause in another country can let travel too.  Many charitable institutions can help you look for cheap accommodations and if you are lucky, you may even get free plane tickets.  But for you to enjoy these free perks, you may be required to commit a longer period of time volunteering with them.  On average, you may need to commit around two years of volunteering.  Sometimes, you may also need to show that you have specialized expertise and experience that will be very useful in your volunteer work.

Hitchhike or carpool

To save on transportation expenses, you can opt to ride with someone who is traveling the same way as you are.  Another option if you have your own vehicle is to find other people who would want to carpool with you so you can split the gasoline expenses.  But for you to find people who will be willing to carpool with you, you need to spend some time in planning your trip because people normally close deals for carpooling a lot earlier than their planned departure.  You can visit online travel forums to see travellers looking for people to carpool with. Or you can go to online sites that are specially created for carpooling services.
