Travel . That is the word that most people long to experience at some point, being one of the deepest desires of their lives. However, if we ask each one what prevents them from traveling the world, without a doubt that money is the primary motive that will come to the fore. Having said that, how much money does it take to go jogging?
1- Sell your things
The first thing is to look for ways to get the money to be able to backpack, and one of those is putting some of your belongings up for sale. With this you will not only increase the savings for your trip, but you will get rid of those possessions that take up space and do not use .
2- Use Couchsurfing
One of the simplest and most popular ways to save money on accommodation is through Couchsurfing. Basically, its use is based on requesting accommodation in guest houses that are willing to open the door to foreign travelers.
3- Ask for a ride
The ride, known in other countries as hitchhiking, hitchhiking, asking for a ride or raite , is a very economical practice when it comes to getting around during a trip. It is about raising your thumb (in other places you raise your index finger or your entire arm) on the side of a road, in order to stop a vehicle that has no problem taking you to your destination or as close as possible.
4- Housesitting
Housesitting (literal translation of the English “house sitter”) is another trend that has received quite a lot of acceptance among travelers who want to save on accommodation, but without losing the level of comfort that a house provides.
5- Travel with carpooling
A recommended alternative if you are not interested in hitchhiking. Carpooling (known as “carpooling” or “carpool” in English) as such is relatively new in Latin America. However, in the United States and Canada it has achieved significant improvement in recent years, while Europe has been implementing it for a little longer with positive results.
6- Do WWOOFING
Would you like to acquire knowledge related to organic agriculture and undertake work in this specialty at the same time? With WWOOF you can get your hands dirty for a few hours a day in exchange for free food and lodging. You will socialize with people from other parts of the world while working shoulder to shoulder.

7- Look for a job
There is no doubt that the issue of generating income during a trip is highly investigated by many backpackers, and it is not for less. Although venturing around the world spending little and saving at the same time is a fact that can be achieved, most of the time that desire to get extra money will resurface.
8- Apply for a Working Holiday Visa
This recommendation comes to be a twist of the previous point. Today, there are several countries that give work visas to those who choose to work temporarily, and that is what the Working Holiday Visa grants. After a season working (and having saved enough), you can venture to any region of the world that you please and enjoy the benefits of your effort.
Nations like Denmark, Australia, Canada and New Zealand are the most popular for you to get a Working Holiday Visa. Only those between 18 and 35 years old apply.

9- Volunteer with Helpx and Workaway
With more than 10 years of presence each, these are two of the most well-known and complete websites that you will see on the internet when it comes to volunteering . The pattern is almost similar to that of WWOOF (you pay an annual subscription fee to access the database and work for free bed/food), although the variant is that both Workaway and Helpx comprise a wide range of jobs beyond the field environment.
10- Cook as much as you can
A piece of advice that is obvious and that you should not overlook if you expect to save money. Instead of spending around $10 per dish (the price is higher in expensive countries) in a restaurant, better take advantage of the supermarkets and buy what you need to cook for a week. Many hostels and guesthouses have a kitchen for you to use without any problem.
11- Say goodbye to guilty pleasures
In my personal opinion, saving is not just putting a minimum amount of your salary in your bank account; It is to avoid spending on little things that are not so essential in your life and that you could well survive without.

12- Camp
Nature lovers will embrace camping. It is clear that camping is not a main alternative on the list of many because of how uncomfortable it can be to sleep (that will depend on each individual), but the truth is that it is economical and deserves to be named.
13- Guided walking tours
Do not miss the free walking tours , or translated into Spanish, the guided tours on foot (they are also called free walks). This activity consists of taking a walking tour with a guide who is usually a resident of the city you are exploring.

14- Go slowly
Traveling slow is a key factor for when you have little money. Imagine visiting six cities in fifteen days of vacation. Some may see it as advantageous if you go with very limited time, but the reality is that you will spend more for having to go from one point to another in a matter of a few days.
