Travel Mistakes to AVOID

Saving Money While Traveling

If you've spent any amount of time reading blogs written

by expert travelers, then you already know just how many

costly mistakes are made by those who fail to plan.

This includes failing to create an itinerary, overpacking

and not buying travel insurance.

But guess what one of the most common rookie mistakes is

made, even by seasoned travellers?

Buying too much!

You can spend all the time in the world carefully packing

and planning your trip so that you stay within budget but

it's was to walk into a travel shop or tourist attraction

and forget how little room you have left in your suitcase.

Over buying is so common that travelers are often forced

to purchase an extra suitcase or bag just to get their treasures

home.

Don't make this mistake.

Instead, purchase only smaller items that you know you have

room for.

In addition, the issue of over buying might not happen only

during travel but before.

Often times, those who aren't used to traveling will purchase

many items they just don't need including money belts, hiking

shoes, special travel outfits and gear only to discover they

really didn't use any of it and it took up valuable space in

their luggage.

Plan each outfit carefully as well as every item you decide to

pack. If you aren't traveling overseas, chances are if you forget

something or you wind up needing something you didn't pack, you'll

be able to purchase it at a local shop at the same price anyway.

I'll be in back in touch tomorrow where we'll talk about the

importance of setting a budget before you travel.

Don't miss it!
