HOW TO SAVE MONEY TO TRAVEL THE WORLD

Many people think I'm rich, because I travel a lot, but that's not true. I'm a regular person with a regular job that is my only source of income. However, these people who tell me that I am rich waste money every day, much more than they think. Probably, I spend every year in total far less money than them despite face many trips. I try only to follow these few rules every day, if I can (saving, however, should not become an obsession).

Cut your breakfasts out – Love your bars or coffee shops? Well, bars or coffee shops loves your money. Coffee is a daily expense That quietly drains your bank account without you ever noticing.

Do not go out with a lot of money - In this way, it will be more difficult to spend your money on unnecessary things.

Cut your restaurant meals – We all need to eat, but restaurants are getting quite expensive these days. There are a million and one cooking sites that will teach you how to cook fast and healthy meals — perfect for people without much time.

Don't take your car if you can – Cars are crazy expensive to own, between repairs and filling your tank with gas. Take your car the less that you can. 

Think about - When you're buying something you like, ask yourself if you really need it, and if having that thing you'll be happier.

Visit daily the low-cost airlines sites – I am not talking just about the most famous airlines like Ryanair or EasyJet (if you are European) but also the for Middle East airlines, like the Turkish Pegasus, that offer you amazing prices (for example, a flight to Kuwait from Rome costs just about 190 Euros).

Sign up for travel newsletters – No one likes to clutter up their inbox, but by signing up for mailing lists from airlines and travel companies, you’ll be able to get updates about all the last-minute sales or special deals happening. If you are Italian (or if you understand Italian)  you can visit daily the website www.piratinviaggio.it, it always has incredible offers (for example, flights of about 300 Euros for a flight to Japan or South America). If you give your mobile phone number, you will receive by Whatsapp (not daily) its best amazing offers.

Buy second-hand – Use websites like Ebay and Amazon (discounted books and electronics), wholesale websites, and clearance sales to buy at discount.

Sell your stuff –  Sites like Ebay and Amazon are excellent places to sell your unneeded consumer goods.

No alcohol – Try to drink as little as possible when you go out. you will gain money and health.

Quit smoking – Smoking kills not only you, but also your wallet. A 5 Euros pack per day amounts to 1.750 Euros per year. Even half that amount would still yield enough money for close to one months in Central America. If you don’t want to stop smoking for your health, do it for your trip.
