Travel More, Spend Less:

Daniel’s Cheap Travel Blog

This was a great year for traveling. I took trips to France, Australia, and Turkey. I spent almost a month in each country. Besides! the cost of transportation, I only spent $600 total for all three trips. How? Well, I didn’t stay in any hotels, and I didn’t eat in expensive restaurants. Its easy when you know the secrets to cheap travel.

For my first trip, I went on a working holiday in France. Every year, farmers in France hire travelers to come and work on their farms. I slept at a farm for free, and every weekend I traveled around the country. During the week, however, I picked fruit for eight hours a day, five days a week. Picking fruit isn’t easy, and sometimes it didn’t feel like I was on vacation! But I met a lot of great people, and I ate a lot of delicious food at the farm.

For my next trip, I went backpacking in Australia. During the day I went hiking, and each night I slept in my tent. Carrying a backpack and tent all day can be tiring.

However, the mountains and beaches were so beautiful that I didn’t think about my heavy backpack.

Finally, in Turkey, I tried couchsurfing. To couchsurf, you join a special online network’! This network connects travelers with hosts in different countries. Hosts invite travelers to sleep in their home instead of spending money on a hotel. You sleep in a bed, or even on a couch. That’s Why people call it couchsurfing. Couchsurfing is a great way to meet people when you travel. All my hosts were really nice, but one guy had two big dogs, and they were noisy. It was hard to sleep there!

I have to go for now. Two couchsurfers from Canada are coming in an hour, and I need to clean my house! Happy travels!
