 Travel for Less Than $100 a Day? 

Have you always wanted to take that once-in-a-lifetime trip around the world, but the cost has been prohibitive? You’re not alone – most of us have been there at one point or another! It’s easy to say, I wish I could travel more, but putting your money where your mouth is can be hard when you don’t know how you’ll be able to afford it.

Step 1: Use multiple booking sites

Most of these sites have free trials that last around 30 days, so make sure you use them! Be aware, though: not all cruise deals are advertised—some are only available if you ask about them.

Step 4: Ask friends if they have any tips

Friends are wonderful resources—ask them what they do to save money. Chances are, they’ll share some good ideas with you! After all, friends don’t let friends spend too much.
