A lot of my friends and family are constantly asking me how I afford to travel the world all the time.

 

So I wanted to share my personal tips to save money for traveling as much as possible.

 

I learned how to save a lot, spend less on things I don' really need and how get some extra cash.

If you want to travel, you sometimes have to sacrifice things.

 

-    But it’s so worth in the end!    -

 


1. Track your Money


 

Sometimes it’s hard to manage your money and for me it’s sometimes even stressful to check my bank account.

 

The best way to save money for travel is to go through all your accounts and check all your finances.

 After that, make a plan of everything you spend every month – and try to find things, you don’t really need. How often are you going to the movies or to a restaurant? What about alcohol or coffee? Try to avoid those little costs and save everything in a little money box!

 

You're spending those 3 Euros or Dollars every morning for your cappuccino? Then just don't and add it to your savings :) It's 90 a month!

 

What about your monthly bills for your car, insurance, make-up, call phone or loans as well as for clothes?

I was shocked how much I was spending on little things, I didn’t really need.

 

You can use the following money saving apps &  P.S: Here is a good article about a lot of other options.

2. Stop buying things you don’t need


 

Do you really need those new shoes? Do you need the Starbucks coffee or expensive dinner and lunchbreaks?

 

Sure it’s hard because we all want to buy new stuff and to go out with friends. But when it’s about travel – and let’s assume it’s the one thing you love more than anything – you can life without those small or luxurious things. You can use and track all your spendings with your apps and use the right mindset!

 

It’s sounds so simple and it’s the best way to save some money: You should ask yourself from time to time: "Do you really need this"?

Sometimes it’s the best to wait for Cyber Monday or a sale to buy things you really want :)

 


3. Save Accommodation Costs


 
There are a lot of possibility’s to lower the costs of your accommodation at home & while travelling.
 
          1. Rent an apartment or share a room
 
          2. Rent your own apartment at home
 
          3. Move into your parents’ home for some month to minimize your own costs
 


4. Sell Things You Don’t need


 

 

We all own stuff we don’t really need.

 

If it's old clothes or electric stuff we don’t use – try to sell everything you don’t use with Amazon, Ebay or Craigslist.

 

 


5. Save your coins


 

Get a little money bank and put all the little coins from your purse.

You can do it every evening or every week and it’s a good way to safe a little bit every day.

 

Sometimes I safe around 100 Euros a month!
