Planning a trip entails a lot of different things. I feel like the main thing to think about is how much money are you going to spend during your vacation. Being able to budget your trip is the best way to make sure that you don’t spend more than you were wanting. If you look up how much you would spend in the country or city you are going to on google, you will be able to see the average amount that you will spend a day.
This is very helpful because there are two different kinds of travelers, one can want to spend a lot of money on doing activities and going to eat or there are others who may want to spend less on those kinds of things. I tend to be more in the middle of both.
This website helped me figure out how much we were going to spend while we were in Croatia. We also found a couple ways to not spend as much money while doing research. We found that if we booked a hostel they will usually feed you dinner. So that was a good way to not spend a lot of money. We also would try to find Airbnb’s that was close to a lot of different things we wanted to do. That way we didn’t need to get any transportation and we could just walk everywhere.
Also with an Airbnb you most of the time will have a full kitchen, so that’s another way you can save some money. You can cook breakfast, lunch, or dinner. We cooked breakfast a couple times when we were in Croatia. We figured if we cooked a couple meal we would have more money to go do activities.
I hope some of these budget planning tips help you on your next trip. Happy travels.
