Traveling LOW-BUDGET: Introduction

First things first.

Everybody has their own rate of travel spending.

Personally, by traveling low-budget, I mean spending as much money as I would normally spend in my hometown or even less.

Lately people consider traveling a luxury good.

Tourism industry is growing huge and many countries depend on it to survive during high season.

For people have lost the real meaning of traveling and tend to become senseless tourists.

In this article I will give you an overview of how I travel low-budget.

I'm not going to write down any details now since this is just the introduction,

but I'm going to explain some of the things mentioned here later in my posts.

So, let's begin with...

...ACCOMMODATION

or should I say sleeping surface?

-Couchsurfing

-WWOOF

-Squatting

-Camping

-Sleeping in the airport (sometimes)

-Sleeping in the streets (rarely)

And then...

...TRANSPORTATION

or moving around.

-Hitchhiking

-Cycling

-Ride sharing

-Metro/Bus/Ferries

And of course...

...EATING/DRINKING

or filling the tank.

-Super market

-Cooking

-Raw/Vegetarian diets

-Sharing food and drink

OR

-WWOOFing

And most importantly...

...SOCIALIZING

or meeting people and getting to know the locals.

-Couchsurfing (again)

-Parks

-Squats

-Gigs/Festivals

-Bars/Clubs (now and then)

And Last AND least...

...SIGHTSEEING

or killing time creatively

-Free goodies
