Yellowstone National Park on a Budget

·23 October, 2018
·Samantha - Travelling King

Yellowstone National Park is one of those places that is on everyone’s bucket list…or should be. Geysers shooting thermally heated water high into the air, bison and elk roaming around what’s known as the “Serengeti of America,” rainbow-ringed hot springs, and summer wildflower carpets draw millions of people a year. You would think a national park trip would be cheap, but with high hotel rates in the park, expensive food, and lots of driving, costs add up. That doesn’t mean you can’t visit Yellowstone affordably, it just means you need to do some preplanning. The bonus is that my budget-friendly tips will also enhance your park experience.

Namibia is an amazing country to travel though to do it on a budget can be quite tricky. The best way to explore Namibia is by doing a road trip with a rental car but it’ll cost you quite a bit.

Explore Berlin On A Budget

·25 October, 2017
·Anke

Berlin (Germans Capital) is not only one of the most exciting cities in Europe but also one of the most affordable ones. It is the perfect place for travelers who love art, music, and good food but don't want to spend a fortune. Compared to the other big metropolis like Paris, London, or Rome, Berlin is cheap when it comes to public transport, accessing tourist attractions, eating out, or clubbing the night away. Unlike other cities, Berlin hasn't got a city center as such. Instead, each district has it's own unique flair and atmosphere. My favorite ones are Kreuzberg, Neukölln, and Schöneberg. My advice is to pick one neighborhood, walk around and explore the cafes, art galleries, and clubs. Don't be tempted to follow the crowd to search for the next hip and trendy area; you might miss a piece of the 'real' Berlin. Plan your trip to Germany Need data for your trip…
