travel budget lyttonWhile most of us dream of travelling the world but it looks like money is the main factor that is preventing most of us in achieving that dream. But it does not have to be that way. You can still travel the world even if your budget is not that grand, to begin with.

Here are some ways to help with your travelling plans even if your budget is low or even worst none at all:

Don’t think that the only way you can travel is by going on an organized, luxury travel. Do you know that you can even travel for free or at least on a tight budget if you embraced a more down to earth way of living? For instance, you can go couch surfing, camping or housesitting.

Couch Surfing. Couch surfing is when you search for places where you can sleep for free. There is even a website dedicated for couch surfers so you can easily find places where you can search for hosts offering a free couch, bed or sometimes a free bedroom, with no expectation of any return.

Camping. If you want to go camping, there are a lot of great places all over the world where you can camp for free. You just need to bring a lightweight tent and a mosquito net. And don’t forget to secure where you choose to camp since safety is still something you mostly need to consider.

Housesitting. Another option for a comfortable lodging especially if you are aiming to stay longer in the place is to be a housesitter. This is when you search for vacation houses and the owner of the house allows you to take care of their house while they are away. A lot of travel blogger mostly families, single parents and those who travel to live abroad search for such housesitting opportunities to stay in Europe, Bali, Mexico, Thailand, and so on.

3 Surprising Places to Visit Around the World

We all know the popular travel destinations that everyone wants to travel to, or has already been to: London, Paris, Rome, the list goes on. But what about the lesser-known locations around the world? We’ve picked three places we think you should visit on your next trip, which are listed below:

Oman
Located in Arabia and full of old-world charm, Oman has extremely welcoming locals among the wonderful architecture and lovely scenery. You can take a cruise off the coast and go dolphin spotting, or visit the bustling market. If treks are more your speed, the Al Jabal Al Akhdar mountains are perfect!

Kazakhstan
While most people know it as the setting of Borat, Kazakhstan has a lot to offer! It is the 9th largest country in the world, and people from a lot of countries no longer needs visas if they’re visiting for less than 30 days. For those who appreciate scenery, Kazakhstan is a place you can’t miss. In the capital of Astana, you’ll see surprisingly modern architecture, or travel west to see the mosques in the deserts. Visiting the Tian Shan mountains is also a must-do, and legend has it that it’s the birthplace of the apple – so foodies, take note!

Kosovo
Kosovo has never really been at the top of anyone’s travel list, but it’s starting to become known among those who travel the up and coming hotspots. They’ve upped their tourism game, and we’d recommend getting there now before it really becomes popular and crowded. It’s full of culture, great coffee, stunning landscapes and, surprisingly, a lot of outdoor activities to suit adrenaline junkies!  Just look out for local pests.

You may not have even heard of these places, but travelling is all about broadening your horizons! Take the paths less travelled and look for those cities and countries that aren’t as explored, and make some amazing memories!
