Assalammulaikum,
Today, I would like to share a few tips on how to travel on a tight budget. These tips are not suitable to person who like to travel in luxurious way.
1) Set a maximum budget for your vacation. Be reasonable according to your vacation destination. Make sure that when you're planning for the vacation you don't exceed the budget limit. Set aside a few bucks for emergency.
2) Find cheap flight ticket. There are a few ways on how to buy cheap flight ticket.
- Be a member for a low cost airline. You'll receive a ton of promotions as low cost airline will always do sale and you'll be among the first to know it. And you need to be aware of their sale especially during school or public holidays.
- Use flight searching web like Kayak, Skyscanner, Expedia etc to find the cheapest ticket to your destination. Unpopular destination will cost cheaper than popular destination.

3) Book accommodation at least a month before your travel date. Place to stay is most important thing. You need to book as early as you can. I always use Hostels.com and Booking.com to book hotel or hostel. For solo traveler, hostel will be a cheaper choice instead of hotel.
4) Use only public transports. You don't have to rent a car or taking taxi. Just use the public transport provided. This will really save your budget. Study the place that you will stay and plan where you want to visit and how to get there by public transport.
There're a lot of things i want to share, but I'm to lazy to type it out. So these are the basic things that you need to consider while planning for your next vacation. Happy holiday!
