You’ve got your dream location. You’ve compiled your travel checklist and you’ve swiftly calculated the time and the expenses needed for your most awaited travel. Yay! You're ready to go! But to make your travel more meaningful and memorable, we've got some additional saving tips that can help you enjoy it even more!

Travel in a bigger group.

Sharing expenses with more people can make your tours and accommodations a lot cheaper. We also noticed that when booking for flights, even numbers are a lot cheaper rather than doing individual bookings (just an observation)!

Once you’re there, remember that you don’t have to see it all.

This is intended for those who created a Do-It-Yourself itinerary. It's common to pick a couple of sights you don't want to miss during your trip, but it's also ideal to leave an open schedule for the unexpected. This way, you'll have more time to appreciate what comes along so you won't feel bad about what you miss.

Eat local!

We all love food and lots of us believe that splurging in food is okay, but if you have necessary considerations (like your trip is budgeted and you don't want too much excess expenses so you can plan another trip), it's best to try and dine at some local restaurants. It's cheaper and it'll enable you to have a deeper understanding of the place and the culture revolving around it.

Haggle down prices.

Again, it's okay to splurge a little when travelling. However, make sure to check the right prices of the item or the service you're planning to avail. If you think that the offered price is too expensive, observe and learn how to haggle. But remember to be reasonable!

Some locals might trick or scam you, especially if they know you're a tourist or a first-time visitor. These incidents often happen in the city center.

Take care of your personal belongings.

Everywhere and everytime. Equip yourself with the right information. Read helpful tips and blogs like this! Remember, it's best to travel when you've got no worries!

Be street smart and enjoy every bit!

Being street smart comes from experience. It means you've learned how to take what has happened to you, good or bad. Think about your experiences and learn to improve from them!

Hope this has been helpful!

Enjoy your #FirstTravel2019.
