However, travelling on a budget can open up a whole world of exciting and rewarding experiences. What's more, if you're spending less, you're money will last that much longer and you will be able to travel that little bit further.

The next few posts will describe some simple ways to save money on your travels without compromising on excitement or enjoyment.
