Book Travel on a Budget (2015 Edition)

Posted in Home & Lifestyle, My Journey, Travel

For 2015 I came up with a cool ‘tag’ line which is “Money Makes Travel Fun”.

Places I’ve been to already www.tripadvisor.com/members/rhyker2u

Book Travel

However when you don’t have the money to travel? Then what’s the point of joining a travel club? Including the invite-only type, which have a payplan attached to introducing other members; which is awesome … but if the goal is to make money? Then why not first getting the money objection out of the way, and be smarter about your travel choices? Hence why I compiled the line-up below:

Hostels

FamousHostels.com | Best European Hostels
Hostels | never used this site, prefer the next one, but choice is always good
HostelWorld | been using this since 2004

Which are also the most ‘hungry’ people to earning money from … anywhere. Digital Nomads understand the cashflow formula, like no other: “Money Makes Travel FUN!”

Budget Transportation

I usually plan my European travel around cheap transportation.

Airplane

BlueAir Destinations | Romanian airliner
EasyJet Destinations | British airliner
The cheapest and most expensive airports in Europe | interesting Infographic

Bus / Train

eurail | 1 pass to travel multiple countries
EuroLines | travel by BUS (not airplane)
RailEurope | point-to-point discounts

Comparison sites

Trip Advisor | biggest community
TriVaGo | Compare hotel prices and bookings

Dutch specific sites

As I’m from The Netherlands myself ..

LowCostAirlines.NL |
VliegTickets.NL | opt-ed in to their newsletter for getting great tips, ideas and deals
VliegVeld Eelde (GR) Destinations | closest airport to where I’m residing in Holland

Alternative Stays

AirBnB |
CouchSurfing | cheap and free stays
Holiday Lettings | by TripAdvisor
Tripping | aggregates inventory from AirBnB competitors like Wimdu, 9Flats, House Trip, Flipkey, and Roomorama
VacationRentals | focused on USA region
