The Cheapest Trip Isn't Always the Best Value 💰🌎
Here's something I wish more travelers considered:
The lowest price doesn't always mean the best deal.
A hotel that's $50 cheaper per night might be 45 minutes from everything you want to see.
That bargain flight might mean two connections, expensive baggage fees and losing most of your first vacation day.
The cheapest cruise cabin might not be where you want to spend 10 nights.
And the least expensive excursion isn't much of a bargain if you miss the experience you traveled halfway around the world to have.
When I help plan a trip, I'm not necessarily looking for the cheapest option.
I'm looking for value.
Where does spending a little more noticeably improve the experience—and where can we save money without really sacrificing anything?
That's a much more interesting question.
👇 What's something you'll happily spend extra on when you travel?
For me, this is one of the best parts of travel planning: figuring out where the money actually matters.
