In reply to Jazzy. Hey, Jazzy Thanks for sharing these helpful tips on saving money. As far as I’m concerned, I don’t really spend on anything else but travel. However, I need more tips on how to make money consistently.

I’ve really adapted a very minimalistic style of living, and only try to spend money on absolute essentials.

Apart from all the tips that you suggested, It is very important to time your travel right. Depending on your destination, avoid travelling on weekends, you might get cheaper rates if you travel midweek. Before deciding on any major destination, check if you can get discounts or coupons for the place. You may save some bucks for your airfare or hotel bookings.

Hey Ben,
Thanks for this list. I feel like my wife and I do well with the savings part for travel but are always looking out for ways to cut unnecessary expenses. Things like cable and other subscriptions are a good way to cut monthly costs. I use to have Kindle Unlimited and was paying nearly $10 a month and forgot about that I even had it. That’s $120 bucks! Subscriptions are a sneaky way providers to keep a steady cash flow out of your pockets. Thanks again and happy travels ahead.
Cheers,
Mark

In reply to Ryan.

Yes Ryan, this is definitely an option for people that don’t mind taking drugs! I personally wouldn’t test drugs to make money for traveling since I am not a fan of pills, and prefer healing things naturally.

Quick note: There are some medical volunteer trials where researchers/doctors just asked a few questions, take some tests and that’s it. But of course those trials pay a lot less. Either way, if you decide to go this route to make money, we recommend doing some research and making sure whatever trial you want to be a part of is worth the risk.

Thanks for the additional info Ryan, our readers and we appreciate it! :)

Medical trials people! Seriously they are not as dangerous as they sound and there are thousands and thousands of studies small and large done each year in developed countries. A lot of the time you are just taking pills that are already readily available in pharmacies and have been tested on humans before. I have done four so far ( 3 in the UK, 1 in Australia) and all have been fine. Generally you find students or people out of work volunteering. Most pay around $300 – $400 for each night you stay. Do some research and get those additionally travel funds! :)
