"What's wrong with you? This is continuously the second year; you are breaking your promise," Liza shouted at her husband, John. "If you did not have money, why did you promise me to travel?" She became louder. John replied regretfully, "Liza! Please accept my apology. When we started our journey, I had money. I don't know what's the problem." Liza said loudly, "If you loved me, you would manage the money." And went to the airport to return home. If you run short of money during travel, you can easily understand John's problem. He loves his wife, but he does not know how to save money before and while traveling. Another factor that makes his position worse is that both of them love adventure travel, which is generally more expensive than other types of travel.
Adventure travel needs specific resorts, equipment, and clothes that increase the cost of travel. If you are a thrill-seeker, you may spend more than other travelers. I do not want to disappoint you. I am going to present you with some money-saving tips that can help you manage your money before starting your trip and while you are traveling.
1-Cutting Your Expenses
As a thrill-seeker, you should understand that adventure travel demands money, which is not accessible without leaving eating in high-end restaurants, unnecessary and expensive clothing, and decreasing everyday travel expenses. Despite eating at high-end restaurants, you can go to a cheaper restaurant or you can prepare your delicious food at home. If you love fancy dresses, you can wait for sales when you buy the same item at a special discount. You should calculate your everyday commuting expenses and think about how you can decrease them. If you can save even $1 daily, you should save it. You can buy a bicycle if your workplace is not so far away.
2-Buy Required Equipment on Sale
If you buy the necessary equipment in your destination city, it may be expensive. Try to find out when the equipment is available for sale in your city and buy it. For example, you can easily buy a scuba tank and wetsuit, which are necessary items for scuba diving, in your city on sale. Try to find a company that offers payment in installments. Another way to buy equipment at an affordable price is to search for quality products in the country where your travel destination is situated. If you are satisfied with the quality of the product, you may buy it after arriving in that country.
3- Individual tour rather than group tour
Individual tours are definitely cheaper than group tours. You can plan your journey according to your desires. You do not have to stay with people whose habits you do not like. Your trip is stress-free because you do not have to follow the schedule of the group. However, you should consider your destination. If your resort is in your country and you know all the important information, you can travel individually. However, adventure travel in a country where you do not know its language, culture, and resort information may be harmful or problematic. As a thrill-seeker, you may need adventure travel guides or professional instructors for some activities like hang gliding and whale-watching. Hiring adventure travel guides increases your travel costs, but sometimes it is one of the must-do things in travel. If you decide to travel in a group, find a bigger group because the cost of travel in a bigger group is less than in a smaller group.
