>> Keeping It Low Cost
- Plan your travel around off-peak. Sure the weather may not be all you're after but the financial benefits and lack of 'tourists' can be worth it.
- Take an environmental or volunteer holiday. You do have to pay your way but it is nowhere near as expensive and you really get to experience the location and know the people, and the warm and fuzzy can't be beat.
- Get yourself a YHA (Youth Hostel Association) card and/or a IYTC (International Youth Travel Card) to save heaps on accommodation and more.
