Food

Food and travel are two sides of the same coin. The most prominent reason for me for traveling is delicious food around the places. Every culture offers very different unique favorable foods. Those mouthwatering cuisines are a good reason to travel. First of all, find traditional/best meal of the area and keep the money for that exclusive experience rather than eat every single meal at out. when you find a place hotel or hostel, ensure whether there is an available cooking facility. if it has a kitchen, you can cook some meals there. 

 No need to eat outside all the time.

you can try the local market which has plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. For many of them, prices are reasonable rather than the supermarket. Bring your own container with a home cook meal for your traveling day. it will save your money from unnecessary street foods and snacks all the time. When you plan your meals, be responsible to cover all the nutrition your body required. It is ultimately a money-saving hack, not only for your travel for your life too. If you are sick middle of the trip, you probably lost your money to take medicines, not only that you will miss your days in your travel itinerary.

When you are cooking, bring your spices to little bottles if those are essentials like pepper, salt, and other types of spices. 

Even though you are on a budget, make sure to experience local foods which are on your pre-plan list. For example- if you are in Italy, don't forget to taste delicious pizza.

Transportation

When we are on a travel, the cost of transportation plays a major part in our budget. So planning it well is essential to manage your money. In the first place, searching prices before landing will help to get an idea about the price rate around the area for different types of vehicles. The next thing is you need to plan which method is most suitable for you. If there is a good public transportation method, it will be best for you. It depends on the destinations. Soo beforehand checks all possible transportation methods for your destinations. Otherwise, you will be lost your time on the road and pay unnecessary taxi fees.

travel destinations beforehand.

The most affordable prices are available on weekdays rather than weekends- (weekend ticket prices are higher than other days)Make sure to walk short distances instead of getting a taxi. It is a good way to hang out with locals and be healthy during travel.

Destinations

Beforehand plan all destinations or adventures you are going to do. If you have a connection with locals get their suggestions about your destination. Most of the time they have a good opinion about those places and know entering ticket prices well. I recommended giving some space from your budget for adventures activities which that place is famous for. Those things are more fun and memorable. Some beautiful places haven't any entering fee, add some of them into your itinerary.  if need to buy tickets do it right now. most of the time it is the cheapest way

The next thing is, plan carefully your itinerary considering distance and required time on the road depending on transportation mode and local traffic. further, check rules and regulations around the place to mitigate any other extra funds.

Be aware of the weather. prepare for it. If you need to bring warm clothes, make sure to take them with you, no need to buy new things. another thing is if there is warm weather no need for those clothes, make sure not to bring them too. otherwise, you will have to pay extra cost for baggage weight.
