SPECIAL OCCASIONS

Just because you’re on a budget doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a leisurely vacation. For those living in Mountlake Terrace, Washington, there are many low-cost traveling options. Whether you’re traveling to the next city over or flying across the country, it’s possible to travel for cheap when you’re well-prepared.

BE A TOURIST IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD

Who says you have to leave your hometown to experience new things? Visit places in your own city that you’ve never been before. When you do activities closer to home, you decrease travel time which saves you money that you can spend at your destination. Consider a visit to a local amusement park, nearby historic site or interesting museum.

FLY AT REGIONAL AIRPORTS

A regional airport serves traffic within a small or lightly populated geographical area. While there is the small inconvenience of landing a short distance away from the nearest major city, you gain the perk of a discounted airline ticket. When you choose to fly using a regional airport, you can save substantial money on airfare and deal with fewer crowds.

BRING YOUR OWN SNACKS

One of the largest costs of traveling is eating out. Having to purchase foods at restaurants for breakfast, lunch, and dinner can become costly, even when you choose chain restaurants or fast food options. If you want to travel cheap, bring your own snacks. Opt for healthy options like fresh fruit, nuts, bars, pretzels, crackers, and trail mix.

THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX FOR HOUSING

Just because you’re traveling doesn’t mean you need to stay in a hotel. Hotels and even motels can be costly, especially if you’re vacationing for more than a couple days. If you can, reserve a spot at a local campground and sleep in a tent. If you prefer the comfort of a real bed, there are numerous hostels across the globe that offers hotel-like perks.

Low on cash? You can still experience the world around you without breaking the bank. By saving on car rentals, hotels, food, and airfare you can travel at a fraction of the price.
