Not all of us have the finances—or desire—to travel in 5 star, first class luxury. A lot of funds isn’t necessary to go far and see a lot and some would argue you see more when you get off the beaten track, out of Touristville and see how the locals like it.
The first thing to remember when your budget is tight is that not everything worth doing actually costs money. Once you’ve spent the coin getting somewhere, walking around and experiencing the place you’re in often doesn’t cost much (if anything). You’ll find living expenses (like food, accommodation) are non-negotiable but things like going on fancy tours or spending money going to trendy restaurants and hotels can be sacrificed for the greater travel good.
Another thing worth noting is you’ll find if you have a travel buddy you’ll be less likely to do activities like shopping and extra café visits.
