So, you are probably interested in traveling and seeing all the world has to offer. The good news is you don't need to be a millionaire to do it; you just have to have a bit of knowledge on how to make your money go farther. Without further ado, let's go over how to travel the world on a tight budget. First stay away from expensive countries.
If you want to start traveling now without having to wait years to save up money stay away from countries where the cost of living is high. You would be amazed how a stay in England will only last two days while that same money could be used to stay a week or longer in Peru.
The exact tips and helpful hints on how to best travel with your pet in the car will depend on the type of animal, but consider the following few tips for traveling with dogs in the car and adapt them to your pet if needed.
The very first helpful tip that travelers should try to remember is that if the dog or any other pet is not feeling well a long car ride will only make it worse. Before starting out on the trip, it may be helpful to make sure that the dog is not sick by taking them to your vet for a quick checkup and to get any additional vaccinations that may be required.
Learn to Pack Start with a blank piece of paper and start listing all of the items you need to bring with you on the trip. Show the list to someone else to verify that you aren't missing anything. Mark the essential items that you would need on any trip and save the list for your next trip. Pack your suitcase and check off the items on your list. Generally start with your shoes on the bottom (stuffing socks in side of them) and fill in any remaining gaps. Lay a towel over top of your shoes and start packing your clothing starting with jeans, then shirts, then dress pants and shirts. Pack toiletries and other items in another compartment or use clothing to separate them from your more expensive clothing. Make sure that any liquids are sealed in a bag in case of spilling. Zip up your bag and check the dimensions so you don't get in trouble at the airport. Weight yourself on a scale and then pick up your bag and weigh yourself again. Use the difference between the two numbers to get the weight of your bag. Place your bag in the car or at the door so you don't end up forgetting it.
On your trip there is the possibility that you may get injured, heaven forbid, but the reality needs to be faced. Your health insurance will probably not cover you out of country so you need to get yourself travel insurance or you could end up paying a huge hospital bill in another country by yourself. Shop around online to find a good deal before you go. If you do need to pay a bill or pay anything for that matter make sure to use a debit card.
Credit cards have large international fees and traveler's checks have their own fees making both options poor choices. Check with your bank and probably shop around to find a bank that offers very small charges for taking cash out at foreign ATMs. You can keep a couple hundred dollars (of whatever currency you are using) on you and use your debit card to get more cash when you need it. The biggest part of travel is obviously the traveling part and that usually is done via air travel. Find the super cheap rates before purchasing.
Do this by shopping out of season, searching early, and finding small carriers that will offer better fares. Put a little bit of time into this and you could save hundreds. If the country you want to visit is connected to yours by land then travel by land. Public transportation like buses and trains will be loads cheaper than private land transports or flying. If you manage to sleep during the trip you won't need to look for a hotel either!
In addition, while it seems to be one of their favorite past times, owners should not allow their dog to stick their head out the windows while traveling at high speeds because the wind and particulates in the air have the ability to damage the dogs eyes, nose, and face. By following these few basic tips, a pet owner will be able to successfully and safely travel with their pet in tow.
