Sites like this are important! People are sometimes overwhelmed with traveling and don't even realize all the money they can save along the way. Saving money is my favorite part; saving on hotel stays, local (FREE) attractions, eating, etc., is all part of the fun 🙂
We're on such a tight budget, we don't even travel! Only to the supermarket and back.
If you can still travel, your budget can't be that tight? Can it?
True. Our budget is not that tight anymore, for which I am grateful. When it was that tight, we had some fabulous staycations, clearing furniture out of the way to “camp in.” Now we budget carefully, and scrutinize options for the best deals we can find. There is a “staycations” keyword to search for more ideas.
You're building a great site, here! I think it's a great idea. I love to travel and it would be fun to see and talk about other people's experiences.
Yay for inspiration! Hopefully the planning tips help too! 🙂
Every time I stop by your site I have a sudden desire to hop in my car and start an impromptu vacation. Dare to dream!
I have a friend whose husband is great at hunting travel deals…You remind me of him 😀 I think it's great that your goal is to help people with travel tips s they can enjoy while staying sane!
love your tips and info! I always wonder who are the people who pay full price?!
