Money Saving TRAVEL HACKS

[@OneCityAtATime]

Hey Nadine, you should check out Maps.me Its an offline mapping app which also gives you turn by turn directions. One of my favorite apps for traveling

[@A_Vicious_T-Rex]

google maps actually has an "offline maps" mode where you zoom in and out to save a set square. if you zoom out to put the entire city in the square then it saves the whole city. you can then zoom in and out and still be able to read street names and get directions wthin the pre defined square.

[@philsaunter]

I always load the HERE Map onto my phone for the country I'm going to. It is free and accurate enough for me to find where I am and where I'm going. For larger cities I also download the CityMaps2Go map. It gives me additional information including public transportation - this can be a godsend. Needless to say that you should also invest in a portable USB Battery. Modern phones likely will not last a whole Day of Traveler use, and the best Apps will be useless if your phone is dead.

[@ZachBussey]

Great travel hacks Nadine! Another hack - find local travelers groups on Facebook... they often have leftover currency that you can trade with them at the actual exchange rate. (Just pay it forward and do the same for someone else in that group.)

Already getting money back for an Amazon order. Thanks again. Referred quite a few people that I know will use it. The pay for referrals. I like this. Thanks again and again.

[@BrandenScottStewart]

I love the mountain thing you have on the wall!

[@peonyshitake]

These tips and hacks are actually useful. Thanks Nadine!

[@girheakinna]

Girl your hair and makeup ALWAYS looks good❤️

[@mistakenappearances]

Hey Nadine! I love all your videos and useful tips and such. I'm planning on doing backpacking next year for the first time. I've been watching your videos for about 12 hours in the past 48 hours. So thank you. It's given me so much! A video I haven't seen/may have missed, is a documentation video. I'd love to see a video on documents/visas/etc you may need based on the country or length you're there. In one of you're packing videos, I saw you had a medical form for vaccinations or something. As well as a huge yellow bifold folder full of documents you needed. If you cannot make a video on this/don't think it would be useful to make an entire video on, I'd love to hear back from you!

[@ELCNUmorFnaMehT]

I have a flight to Switzerland in a couple of hours, this video has arrived at the perfect time. Thanks Nadine!

[@TravelingOnaShoestring]

Hey Nadine, Well it's late at night and I find whenever I start binge watching travel vlogs yours always comes up. I do love your show! Made a video similar to yours on ways to save money for travel but I love your suggestions.

[@katerfly]

Regarding maps, you can also download an "offline copy" of the city you're travelling to on your phone before you leave for it.

[@don-dspid2404]

HOLY CRUMB CAKES! Why haven't I heard about this Ebates before. Amazon is on there and I use that even for work. Choice Hotels as well. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

[@daniellerose1114]

Thank you so much for these tips. I will be using them on my future travels. And I have now signed up on ebates

[@ninah7244]

The map tip is something I tell my friends all the time and they never seem to believe me! But its the way I get around completely new cities without ever getting lost!

[@terrymatthews4535]

Love the info.. Traveling soon need the great tips.... Thanks, so helpful

[@thesadtraveler6811]

I wish I had known about Ebates before I went on my tour of Europe. I got a really good round-trip flight, but I bet it would have been even cheaper with Ebates!

[@AliJardz]

This felt #Spon. Was this an advert?

[@CathrynDianne]

Yes

[@Amydali86]

Ebates is still a wonderful website, even if this was sponsered

[@holisticmaya]

I bought really expensive plan tickets with orbitz in January is it possible to sign up now and get the percentage cash back??

[@hannahweeks7218]

This is awesome advice, it'll help me soo much next week when I'm in Europe

[@heynadine]

+Hannah Weeks your welcome! have a great trip in Europe :)

[@hannahweeks7218]

+Hey Nadine AHH! You're literally my favorite youtuber of all time, I love your videos, it's so awesome that you responded to me!

[@mintslice2214]

Just caught onto you're channel. I love how savvy you are haha So many great tips - thank you!!

[@dreamanddwell]

Love that mountain crown created by the art on your wall behind ya! ;)

[@HereBeBarr]

Some nice tips. I'd add : Credit Cards with out foreign transaction fees and making sure you get charged in the local currency.

[@hellospacemonkey]

I think you are my new favourite person!! Great style, personality, lifestyle/ethics (Vegan) and these travel videos are so so helpful. Thanks so much xx

[@ativar1]

Is it the same with London attraction tickets? Cheaper to buy online than at the venues?

[@hmdnat]

thanks for your advices.

[@jstfd]

The map feature is awesome. I didn't even know about it until my friend showed me in Google Maps when we were in Vietnam.

[@gracehaul6622]

alsoi did not know u could use ebates with expedia omg so useful!

[@mykastauffer]

Great video so helpful!

[@annae4678]

Very useful I love to travel a lot but when we went to the Bahamas it was so expensive

[@hibasafadi5075]

I love those hacks thank you so much

[@mimilovly94]

Thanx for the great tip!! btw im not sure if i read ok but is the give away only for the US?

[@paigeshu271]

thanks for sharing !!!! Can u please do a video of tips for traveling in Vietnam or Asian?

[@dlelax8]

Hey, just watched a few of your vids. Great content. I've subscribed, signed up with ebates, and finally got my Osprey Farpoint ordered. You're a bad influence lol

[@Thriftingsista]

l hope you do a part two for this video :)

[@natasharose]

Great video!! Also I love your room!!! Can you do an apartment your? 😍

[@indiegoil]

i have quick question. I am a little confused over the money exchange. I am going to Toronto in a couple of months and I am obviously going to need my money exchanged from US to CAN Dollars. My bank is Wells Fargo. What is the best way to get this exchanged without those exchange fees? You did mention it but I just need some clarification seeing as I am just an amateur. Thanks!

[@seanlearmond9943]

a DOLLAR FIFTY!! dollar dollar bills yo!! $$$$$ love the style Nadine.

[@PerfectLittlePlanet]

I agree with all these tips. Nice job! And I'm already an eBates member, so that was an easy entry too. Thanks for the contest!

[@talitalks]

Super helpful! Leaving for Europe in less than a month and these are great tips :) How far ahead of time would you buy tickets to attractions?

[@finleyEChurch]

does ebates work in the uk?

[@CharlesAlexanderParish]

Hi Nadine, If a video is sponsored aren't you meant to put AD in the name?

[@heynadine]

+Charlie depends on the country. If you are in the Uk yes. Not Canada. Not sure about the USA.

[@DR1783]

not in US snd Canada

[@gracehaul6622]

its also in the down bar in the disclaimer?

[@alicjaclark1964]

You can also download an offline map using google maps. So you have the whole area/town ahead of time :)

[@wendys.5402]

where is your bed frame from??

[@Snehal]

Another amazing tips video! I really love your travel tips videos. Thank you so much.

[@SalesGeniuses]

SWEET! I never heard of ebates. Thanks for sharing this helpful tips ^_^ Please make more of this videos. We love Advises, Tips, Hacks...etc. Keep up the hard work and have fun Nadine.

[@heynadine]

+s hong you are very welcome!! And I will do :)

[@marzo5]

Hey Nadine can you use ebates for travel tours and stuff? Like the blue lagoon Iceland for example. Thanks

[@fernandocolaco]

Each time I watch any of your videos, I always end up switching my playlist to Justice (the + album, and especially "the party"song) :) are you sure you're not involved in the vocals?

[@dtjaprototype1089]

i had that with a airport Taxi/Cab never do that again :P Nadine in what country is your next Adveture going to take place?

[@victoriahutchinson6447]

Is the price more expensive when you buy through EBATES or is the price still the normal or a discounted price if there is one? Thank you!

[@rekifotosandmotionpictures4437]

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 great tips!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@fabiangan6693]

ebates is mainly for the US though right? and not so much for Europe?

[@niharicaverma]

I am so glad that I discovered your channel.its amazing. but unfortunately I won't be able to see your vids cos I am currently having my exams 😥 but after they get over I am so gonna go on a marathon of all your videos!!

[@wbrown6]

Or on google maps android (possibly also google maps on iphone) just look at the map you want, search "OKMAPS" and it downloads it for you!

[@Mimi-ss3xx]

Is there a website where I can buy the attraction tickets??

[@Bjornvaniersel]

I suppose those are the local sites for whatever you want to visit. Google is your friend :)

[@TTemns]

I love your travel hack videos, def signing up for Ebates :) Ps. I wouldn't share a taxi with a stranger. Girl have you not seen 'taken' lol

[@Autosynthesise]

For GPS... Get a proper offline maps app. Here maps is available on all phones, and allows you do download an entire country's map beforehand. So, so underrated. There are a few others, but I find Here best; it used to be owned by Nokia so had a lot of investment into it.

[@athenaa]

Hmmm, so does Amazon.ca work with ebates also? I spent so much on Amazon this past month. Definetly got to sign up for ebates!

[@MyLifeAsLouis]

Thanks a lot for this!

[@nicedimac]

This is so helpful Nadine! And on top of using ebates can I use my air miles master card...Yay for double points!

[@pinkcrystalhippie3222]

This may sound silly but how do you use atms abroad if your credit card is in non currency of that current! Say you have a card in pounds and you go to an ATM abroad can you get money out in the other currency with that card!

[@mahesamara4298]

Geeky Veggie from my experience, you got charged a small amount per transaction, usually around $5 everytime you draw money?

[@erica.explores]

Another money exchange hack is to change your money at casinos! They don't charge a fee for the exchange and typically offer good rates because they want you to then go and gamble that money. I did this in the Philippines and I got a better exchange rate at a casino in Manila than I did at my local bank at home in San Francisco. Crazy!

[@CWWJR]

I mean this as a compliment. you really shouldn't wear makeup in your videos because you are one of those people who are just naturally pretty I honestly think you come off so much better when you're out and about in your videos then when you're sitting in a room

[@moustacheswaggxo]

is it international?

[@Teeeeeeee3322]

Do you think travel cards are good as well?

[@claraktube6612]

Does this side Ebates works in Romania?

[@ElizabethTravelsNow]

Thank you for all the tips Nadine :D

[@adriana516]

the panama city taxi...its true. i had to take one because my ride couldnt get to the airport to pick me up they charged me 20 bucks for a 5-10 minute ride to my house...i couldnt get to the bus stop because of my suitcases and it was raining...

[@HeatherGerhardt]

Love the idea of using ebates

[@abb1dee]

Can you trust Ebates though? I have had cashback before on odd things like buying a tablet. But not sure I trust it to book a holiday. That could go horribly wrong. Also can you use it in the UK? Seems more a American thing.

[@derekcolman]

Does my hack count? I wanted to use the toilet at Liverpool St. station, but it was 20p entrance (29c), so I watched for a staff member to leave the platform and followed them. They led me to a staff toilet which I used for free. The staff member actually walked past it so they were not going to the toilet as I thought, but no matter it worked.

[@RealmsMedia]

Awesomeness. Thanks!

[@jillswan9654]

Amazing tips. Too bad I can't enter the giveaway but still going to sign up for an ebates account. Along the lines of buying admission to sites beforehand, some cities offer passes to multiple sites that you can use over a few days. Often they save you money on the admission price between all the valid sites, and might come with a guidebook and discounts at restaurants, public transit, or shops.

[@bashar05]

For maps, I use an iPhone app (not sure if android has it too or not) called maps.me. It lets you download the entire map of a country or state with driving directions. It worked flawlessly for me in Rome

[@Sacrosanct77]

Great advice! Airport taxis are the worst!

[@zeusrulez]

My local currency exchange has a better rate than the bank because the bank in my area still takes a cut - and a larger one than the exchange place

[@KC-cc6xi]

wait how do you have all this money to travel? seriously asking.

[@anastasgiselle]

Kat C shes a youtuber. she obviously makes it by creating this video.

[@rainapederson5426]

Can we enter if we already have an ebates account?

[@martintaylor2839]

In Melbourne they have the skybus $18 (AU) airport to CBD

[@justaperson2687]

Awesome vid!!! I personally loved Panama so much and I hope you did too :)))))

[@ran88dom99]

My bank never tells me the exchange rate. There is no site no nothing. While big cities often have exhange streets and good rates noone of the atms or WU spots have dollars.

[@jeiyani]

Waiting in line to see cultural attractions ... tell me about it :( that happened to us in Granada, Alhambra.

[@rozamunduszek4787]

Banks charge you for exchanging money (withdrawing the money in a currency you don't have on your account) too though. Aren't they? Which banks don't?

[@LoveGod16]

Hey Nadine, Did you know you can also save a map from Google Maps to your phone, directly from the official app? :) that's the tip from me, that way you can explore a bigger area without a data connection.

[@poolboyinla]

They charge money to go to the Vatican?

[@theycallthewind3038]

It's free to go into the basicalla, but the line is extremely long and you'll wait a few hours. If you buy a fast pass ticket, you can skip the line. But entrance itself is free. You do have to pay for the Sistine Chapel entrance though.

[@keks0098]

The Sistine Capel is free on the last or first sunday of the month. I can't remember. And at the end of the row I just waited like half an hour on a saturday.

[@Mattdewit]

You need to pay for the maintenance of the church, painting and sculptures. Let's also not forget the security.

[@seraphiccandy21]

Your wait depends on the time of year. If its high season like Summer you will wait a while...I went there in July and there was a line 3 hours long. Thats why I joined a tour group as they have fast passes

[@kristinalamar4149]

It asked if someone referred me, but I could only put in an email which I don't know. The link just sent me to the regular page, how do we know if they actually know you referred us for the giveaway?

[@heynadine]

+Kristina LaMar did you use the above link? it should send you to the welcome page asking you to register?

[@kristinalamar4149]

+Hey Nadine Ya, well it shows all of these different stores and how much cash back you get and then at the top it says sign up or log in, I just wanted to make sure the link was right. Thank you.

[@kristinalamar4149]

+Ebates Ya, I was on my phone. Okay, thank you. I just wanted to make sure that I did it right.

[@kristinalamar4149]

+Hey Nadine Thank you for the tips too! I've learned a lot about making traveling cheaper and easier from you! :)

[@billsmith2900]

Most banks now charge to exchange money + exchange rates. Found it not worth it.

[@rineeb2143]

Im from New Zealand, is this website applicable worldwide?

[@rineeb2143]

Perfect, Im only wanting to book flights/hostels so no shipping required. Thanks 😊

[@SayHelloHelli]

ive heard of ebates but I never knew what it did.

[@ena131]

Please please help! I'm flying alone (I'm 16) and I'm very nervous. Security scares me. Do you have any tips on getting through security?

[@Mimi-ss3xx]

If you're white, you'll be perfectly fine. If not, well, try not to bring attention to yourself and try to appear confident.

[@Lozzzaaa55]

+BrightKitten purr Just remember they are trying to do their job, take your laptop out of your bag and put it in the tray, use bottles under 100ml and in one plastic bag if you are taking liquids on the plane, don't take any banned substances or items and you'll be fine :)

[@rubenssiomusic]

Thank you! :)

[@kathytripp8617]

Hey Nadine, I just send the money ahead of myself (by Western Union) before I leave home. When I arrive I pick up the money.

[@ActiveSpudsTravel]

Lovely tips!

[@heynadine]

+Active Spuds Travel yay!

[@maxwelln.7190]

You know that you can use an offline map service, like maps.me?

[@ellikay2590]

[@EEnrighteousAyusoyolo]

[@martag825]

Ebates is not available in Europe.. --_--
