Before you go

Keep track of expenses

Track your spending via a money diary. Write down your daily spend in a notebook or phone and review the list at the end of the month. You’ll be surprised to see what you are spending and where you can save money.

Book online

Have you booked your trip online? This is the number one way to save money on travel. If you haven’t tried, why not?




Do a “no online shopping” month

Before your trip, do a “no online shopping” month to build spending money. Go on, you can do it!

Do a subscription audit

Do you really need your Netflix or other subscriptions? Are you paying too much? Are there better deals available? If you don’t need the subscriptions, cancel them. Search for a better deal.

Sell things online

Do you have spare things at home you don’t need, aren’t using, no longer value or appreciate? Selling them online via eBay or a similar website is a great way to raise money and by recycling you’re doing a good thing for the planet.

Cook your own meals

It takes time to cook your own meals. It’s easier to get a takeaway. Try to avoid the urge and you will save a lot of money. Your body will also thank you.

Book activities in advance

A lot of travel companies offer huge price discounts if you book in advance. What are you waiting for, do it now!
