What are some tips for traveling deals online?

admin — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 22:18:59 +0000

I have done it a lot with traveling in the U.S, usually using Expedia, but now i’m looking to travel to Europe and Japan/Asia. Looking for times to go to these places, and good sites, or if i need to bundle or break up hotel/flight. THanks!

What’s your budget? Are you a student or grandparent or..? Are you trying to keep money-spending to a low or do you have a tonne of money to spend on this trip? Expedia actually isn’t very good if you’re looking to get a decent price. You will end up paying a lot of money on something that you can find much cheaper elsewhere.

If you go to Europe, fly to London and get a connecting flight with another airline (recommendations are Easy Jet, Ryan Air and Germany Wings) instead of trying to fly directly from your hometown to the city of choice in Europe. This will save you a bundle.

Check out STA or travelcuts.ca to get some great deals on flights. Don’t book bundles. Again, this will significantly increase your price. Check out Lonely Planet guides to your country/region of choice (any book store will sell them). They have some excellent deals on hotels and hostels. hostelworld.com is also good and if you don’t want to stay in a hostel, they still have hotels and others there for you.

Also check out Airline-Booking.com for great Paris Travel Deals!

Recommended 3-month travel destinations cheaper than Europe?

admin — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 14:21:43 +0000

Hi everyone,

I’m planning a trip for a minimum of 3 months and can’t quite decide where to go. We’ll be on a very tight budget but I’m desperate to travel and looking at going somewhere not necessarily on the tourist track, that will give us an experience but not cost us the earth! Ideas so far have been China, Mongolia and possibly Russia but not tied down to anywhere yet! Interested in hiring a motorbike or truck and hitting the road less travelled also, love markets and culture but not superficial theme parks or the like.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

sometimes it makes me cry when i dont have enough money to travel :’( go to SPAIN ive been dying to go there

Cinque Terre, Italy: Hiking in Corniglia

admin — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 08:37:01 +0000

The five villages of the Cinque Terre are connected by a series of scenic trails. What some fans of the region don’t know is that the villages, Corniglia in particular, produce more than just breathtaking views. Perched along the hillsides, small family vineyards are tended with care; the white wine produced is just another reason to visit Italy’s most famous back door.

What is the best unique travel destination within 4 hours of Columbus, OH?

admin — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 16:09:33 +0000

I’m looking to go on a weekend "getaway" kind of close to home. I would like to go somewhere unique that has culture and some fun things to do. Any suggestions?? Personal experiences that you have had that were particularly memorable? I’m 20 and the person traveling with me is 26 so we don’t just want to sit around all weekend. Thanks!
I guess I should clarify that I’m looking to get out of Ohio…Kentucky, Indiana…anything that’s not too far away.

Columbus and unique do not belong in the same sentence…..no offense, it’s just that’s it’s Ohio (probably not your fault you’re there), the only thing in Ohio worth going to is either a Blue Jackets game, or Cleveland, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
