Travelling is beautiful, it‘s my passion, but it is also expensive. I integrated some habits from my student time, as a student with an absolutely not wealthy background, in my daily life and they help a lot to save money for travelling. I decided to share them with you because maybe they are also helpful for some other passionate travellers 💖🌍: .
1. I don‘t have and never had a car and I think that‘s the crucial point (though I do have a driving license). I walk everywhere which means on some days I walk 10-15km. Or I go there by bike, and also the bike is 2nd hand from an online shop-you really find awesome bikes there.
2. I don‘t snack, in terms of a cake here and a coffee there when I‘m not at home, which saves a lot of money (exception: icecream😋😅)
3. If I go out eating in restaurants I take a starter as a full meal or share a bigger plate with friends.
4. I don‘t smoke.
5. I don’t spend much money on alcoholic drinks, nice to have a drink or two when there‘s an social event with dear ones, but thats it. Imagine having two cocktails every weekend and some drink during the week, that‘s 50,- in a week which means 200,- in a month which means a weekend trip flights included.
6. I mostly buy (and sell) my clothes on online second hand&vintage apps (exception: in Spain and Italy I get new clothes, because I‘m small and the sizes there fit me better and they have also an incredible style).
7. In my refrigerator there is only what I really need, some healthy snacks and some icecream.
8. I don’t spend much money on make up, mascara and foundation and lip balm are enough, as is homemade avocado & olive oil mask for skin treatment..
9. I almost always travel handluggage only (See challenges in funny highlight 🤣). If I stay longer I find a way to wash my clothes over there.
10. Most of times there is a good metro connection from the big airports, you don‘t need a taxi.
These are some of my habits that help me to follow my passion and I really hope they are helpful for other travellers 😊🌍💖🫶🏽.
