5 Tips for BROKE Travelers

[@adi91216]

You'd rather travel broke than not travel at all. The money can come later, believe me. The time won't. I've covered around 10 countries when I was under 25. Today, life got busy so needs a lot more planning.

[@mesupt]

Not waiting for other people is key! You learn so much about yourself when traveling alone and at your own pace. Just go you have video chat if you need to see a familiar face

[@MiaHessMusic]

"Don't wait for otehr people to trvel with you." Superb advice!!!!! There is nothing wrong with traveling alone. I would imagine this is good advice for seniors on a budget too! Thanks, great video!

[@Originalman144]

Yeah this is good advice for everyone, not just broke college students. Even when you have money it’s best to book and tell friends your dates. If you wait for everyone else to book, then you will be waiting all your life

[@anivee5863]

And friends can be incredibly flakey, letting you know that they have decided to remodel the bathroom instead. Makes you reconsider the value of the friendship.

[@MiaHessMusic]

@@anivee5863 agreed!

[@ivyzen8860]

Yes! I'd wanted to go to Scotland for years so when I was 25, I booked a tour and didn't even let any of my friends know until everything was final and my trip was like, two weeks out. It was great because I met a bunch of great people on the tour (there were three other single women around the same age, so the four of us hung out all week) and got to see everything I wanted to, without having to worry about anyone else. It was amazing! Now that I'm in my forties and married with kids, there are trips that my family will take with other people, and trips that we do by ourselves when we don't want to be on someone else's schedule.

[@fathuman]

F*cking right.I'd never go anywhere if I waited for people to go with me. In fact at this stage I don't even WANT anybody to go with me.

[@masterzen107]

Another tip: RED EYE flights. some of us dont have a lot of PTO, so I will work all day at work and take the Red eye flight and sleep on the plane at night. I get a full day of pay and use zero PTO for that day. Also some jobs offer flex hours. So on occasion I will work 4-ten hour days before a trip to get that extra day off to conserve PTO for when I will need it.

[@omniasoltemperat5]

My biggest budget tip: don't eat out at sit-down restaurants for every meal! Enjoy a few, but also have the local street food, check out bakeries and cheaper eats - and grocery shopping in a foreign country is always an adventure.

[@HeretekNC]

Hostels saved my butt when I was in my early 20's and I still use them as a budget traveler in my early to mid 30's now. They're absolutely amazing as a traveler who's not concerned with creature comforts.

[@Originalman144]

There are many very well run and comfortable hostels though. Some even have private double bed that is much cheaper than hotel. Yay for hostels!

[@SkipMDMan]

I can remember my first trip to Europe on my own. I was 21 and it was 1973. I didn't have money to waste so I got a 1st Class Eurail pass over here before I left. Took along my Europe on $5/day book and I was off. Back then nobody traveled 1st class except people with passes, English people and the occasional European. If you were alone in the compartment the seats all pulled out and made a huge king+ sized bed. I used the train many times as my "hotel for the night", would get in a city early morning and immediately book my exit train ride to another destination that took an overnight train. I had no schedule so it didn't matter where I went each day. I eventually saw everything I wanted over the month I was there. I'm sure there are some books still like that Europe on $5/day book but I no longer need them.

I always travel alone, I do whatever I want whenever I want. I take an Interrail pass and take off for 2 or 3 weeks having only planned half of it. Adventure !!!! Being broke definitely makes things interesting at times but it always ends up with (more or less) funny stories to tell.

[@Spagle87]

If your on budget and coming to England and want to watch Football (soccer) try going to lower league side. Will be significantly cheaper than Prem or Championship. Plus you will be helping the local community, which is a bonus.

Good to see York in this video. York is my favorite city in England.

[@woltersworld]

[@Toastfacekillah87]

Crazy because I grew up 45 mins away from York and I just take it for granted. Like... it's just York. Seeing all these old buildings is another day but it's amazing when I see tourists come and places like the Shambles blow peoples minds

[@AymanTravelTransport]

Be smart with the £2 bus fare cap in England and use it on long-distance bus routes. For example at York, there's the Coastliner 840 to Whitby on which you can ride the full 100 miles up to that stunning coastal town for just £2, making it an excellent daytrip option.

[@laureljaneg]

Great suggestion copied

[@fredericlatreille]

Wyndham has a good points program ... After roadtripping and booking hotels with that chain, I went to see "Spamalot" on Broadway and booked a 700$ room for free at The New-Yorker for free ... and I did it twice in the same summer because I brought my daughter for her first time in NYC in the same hotel.

[@paulgerrard9227]

Tip for those who think peak season is being missed. Its really hot. And crowded and possibly not air conditioned. Shoulder is far better. Winter is good too but know what you will miss or find slow eg greek island ferries. But a mykonos rental car will be cheap

[@lizitaly3029]

Visit friends who will house you for free! That’s been helpful for me lol just make sure you’re compatible travelers and their schedule allows for it. This is geared more towards recent grads though with the assumption that their friends moved away to different places. I would say set up price alerts for counties you want to go to during shoulder season (during breaks, long weekends, and then just buy when the price is very low) Thats helped me save hundreds of dollars tbh Do free walking tours (but tip the tour guides - cash. Still cheaper than a museum ticket and that tour)

[@laureljaneg]

No longer a student and no longer broke but I enjoy all of your videos! Many years ago, there was a music festival. I loved wasn’t far from home. Nobody nobody was available could afford to go so I went on my own. Had a fantastic time. Not having somebody to travel with me, has not stopped me. Love this suggestion about traveling locally I live in Southern California. Plenty to see here. it has worked out in a few years, but it used to be in February. I could take a few as three days off and have 10 days off in a row due to presidential holidays.

[@gluckwunschwinston5618]

Betty's Tea 😍😍 Thanks for the tips! I live in Switzerland and yees, it's expensive - even for us 😅. If your planning to travel here by train, please leave your big suitcases at home or get a taxi when you arrive. There's not much room for big luggage on the train and a you probably need to carry it yourself on the stairs, so you better be able to lift it 😅 Our trains have been blocked one too many times like this

[@jaciboughter6762]

Is also say things like try “a drink” single at a pub or bar etc and then if you want to indulge more but from a grocery store, same though with food, as Wolter’s World always champions do lunch out but stick to the grocery store for dinner or snacks…

[@vivianweber9686]

hey right now im traveling through europe. I ended up flying into geneva (cheapest flight I could find with flexible dates) and booking a eurrail pass a month prior to heading out. now that im here im not feeling the weight of those purchases. my goal was to get to austria as soon as possible and now that im here I paid 90 dollars for a 4 star hotel for 2 days in vienna where in switzerland I was paying upward to 70 to 100 for a 2 star hotel a night. I plan on doing all of my multiple day stays here in vienna, budapest, and ljubljana. sure ive spent 6 days on a train sleeping in a different city so far, but you can realistically book a train for 10 hours and get into austria in 1 day.

[@vivianweber9686]

also, if you're in lucerne in switzerland, check out the capsule hotels! you get a bit more privacy than a traditional hostel. it was 63 chf for me a night.

[@vivianweber9686]

Ive also really been loving the hotels with the shared bathrooms but private rooms. you usually get a good deal and also the owners I have met are always really charming and really excited to make sure you get to experience their culture.

[@rchambers6858]

Avoid alcohol! Even in the “cheap” countries. That money really adds up if you’re ordering a few drinks at every meal, or hitting the bars at the end of every day. If the alcohol is cheap, other things are probably cheap too, and you can really stretch your money and have more meaningful experiences without it

[@A_Canadian_In_Poland]

Yes! Clubbing is a big time-waster as well while travelling! And is frankly the same experience anywhere. I look at it in that a night clubbing means one city I don't get to explore.

Don't forget to look into international programs your university may offer! You generally still have to pay for those, but a lot of times the experiences they arrange for you are coming at a much cheaper price compared to if you were to try to arrange the same type of trip on your own.

[@PrimeTimeTravelers]

Great tips Wolters! Loving learning thru your channel. We are experience travelers ourselves already but never hurts to learn some more ideas!

[@oldbroadabroad6619]

Was in York last year. Such an amazing place to visit! Two days travel from Australia and absolutely worth it! Im not rich but not pov and my tip, research your heart out and figure out what is worth paying for and what is worth waking past. It is very individual. Oh and destination weddings? Send a card with a bit of coin. Its about them not you.

[@GuillermoLG552]

Hostels also often have rooms with private bathrooms and can be a lot cheaper than hotels. The advantage is that you will meet people, they arrange tours of sites and have activities nights (like making Chinese dumplings!) They are not just for youngsters either, I stayed in my first one when I was 66 years old!

I’d like to add one point to your list. If you have friends or family in the area you’re going to visit, stay with them if you can. I’m going down to Dallas, Texas for the upcoming eclipse and am going to stay with my sister for a few days and not spend any money on accommodation.

I LOVE traveling in shoulder and off seasons. I reserve the summertime for short local trips or to spots like Arizona where crowds are low. Anywhere else I always aim for times when kids are in school and tourists are waiting for warmer weather

[@SuperTimsSettlements]

If you're a college student you can look into studying abroad. My college had a summer semester in Italy available. Ireland and a few other countries are available to study for the regular semesters. Definitely worth looking into. Most of it could be paid for you.

[@butterscotch7788]

Did something happen to you?

[@jkinnear81]

Love the advice provided by Mark already. I have turned down multiple destination wedding rsvps over the years. What you can do instead is organize a party for the bride and groom with friends that also didnt make it and that way you can celebrate without spending serious cash or time. Secondly, one thing i didn't use to do much but now am a real strictler on is planning out your trip and budget strategically. Plan out what you want to do, how much time you want to allocate, where you want to stay and how much it will cost. Make reservations when possible. It can save you considerable time and money not to mention have you experience more. Travelling with friends can be another cost saving idea but stay away from travelling with those who love arguing with others and are not go with the flow type people, have one leader of the group and have them propose a plan. One tip when travelling with friends is that a large group isn't necessarily the best. Nor do odd numbers. 4 is a perfect number. Traveling with just one other person is also fantastic. Also your choice of destination is also an important factor. Colombia for example is not so far away and your dollars tend to go a long way there in comparison to places that are more expensive. Just a few extra ideas i thought I would throw in here. Happy traveling

[@woltersworld]

so much money gone with destination weddings. and yes, the strategic budget makes a difference

[@jkinnear81]

@@woltersworld 100%. Most of the time people set them up at all inclusive resorts and that's just not the way I like to travel. I'd rather assist to throw a post party for the bridge and groom when they get back which we do as a little surprise and people have a great time. Yes, strategic budget planning and especially organizing time allocation is seriously helpful. I'm not saying plan the exact time you brush your teeth, go to bed and eat but have an idea of how much time you want to allocate to something you want to visit and get to the next point of interest. Years ago, I used to travel on a whim and it backfired a few times. I guess you learn with experience.

My tips for travelling europe if you really dont have much money would be to stay in hostels and travel europe via coach, specifically the flix bus. Hostels in europe, especially in big cities, are very cheap. When it comes to travel, yes, the coach takes longer, but when booked in advance, it can be extremely cheap. Yes, airlines like ryainair can be very cheap, but with the addons like baggage can add up very quickly.

[@FacelessJanus]

Mark, may I point out one other thing though. Yes, shoulder season might be great except for areas that are known as Long Distance Hiking Trails, think Camino etc. Because hikers also use the shoulder season, due to temperatures in summer. You do not like to walk certain parts when it is like 40 C / 104 F. So you might suggest people not to travel directly near these trails. If travelling to Europe, try things like Flixbus it is usually cheaper as using a plane to get to your destination. (okay it might take a bit longer, but travelling should also be relaxing. Doing 10 countries in 14 days is a huge NO NO.)

[@einat1622]

Destination weddings are over the top idea. If they want you there- the couple should pay. And I agree not waiting on your friends. Be independent. Hostels are not for everyone. There are "basic rooms" category that cost about 45 GBP a night.

Big fan of the channel and this video has lots of great advice. But disagree both about the credit card recommendation and would advise adding a word of caution. I did exactly what was recommended in this video, which is use credit cards with points and travel insurance to great affect when I was broke and young however, not everyone has the discipline or flexibility if they’re a little short that weekend to find the funds to make sure that they don’t run a balance. Also, I thought it was funny that you mentioned to the British Airways card is maybe not ideal for Americans when that was actually my first big rewards card, granted I was living in France at the time, but with the bonus I was able to get half off many flights home to the U.S. when abroad and to Asia. The other nice thing about points is sometimes they’re excellent for those kind of backpacker trips where you want to do one way or around the world type things which you actually can’t book with cash, at least not reasonably.

Whether your broke or not, I would say to save money, get off the beaten path and perhaps skip some of the iconic places (or don't get suckered into the tours or "extras"). That's how some of these people are able to travel to multiple countries in a year without breaking the bank... they don't pay for the "extras" which can really add up in some cities such as places like Paris, Venice, etc. I mean just walking or using public transportation versus a bus or taxi/cab can save you money right there, and perhaps eating at small local resturant or food stands versus large extravagent restaurants can also save you money (I'd say that food and perhaps accomodations are the biggest expense, and if you don't mind, you could save a ton by staying in some of the smaller hotels instead of a 3 or 4 star hotel).

​@stevebalestreri7427 I agree. I've never gone on a single tour in Europe. You don't have too. On the other hand, in central and south America, they are absolutely the way to go. In Europe, I love touring in a rental. I love nature, and what I call getting small. Going to the small villages and such. Europe has great access to everything. In the cities, you can use the subways to get to all the attractions yourself. The high Andes, well that is a different experience. Best to ask the hotel which tour agency to use in town. For 20 to 30 dollars you can do most tours. Macchu picchu, anything in Costa Rica, and maybe some of the tours out of the capitols , cost more than that. I wouldn't want to drive in the cities, on some of the scary roads, deal with the poor roads going into the parks, etc. In south America and other places.

Yes, don't wait for friends to travel! If you can go and you want to go, GO. People get hesitant to travel by themselves, but the reality is that traveling by yourself is MUCH better than traveling with a bad travel partner. I wouldn't have done even a QUARTER of the traveling that I've done if I had waited for others to be available, interested, or in a financial position to travel.
