Save money for adventures!

Unless you are planning a staycation, then there is no need to splurge on hotel accommodations! As long as the hotel’s location is easily accessible, it has decent rooms, friendly staff, and is in a good neighborhood, then that’s already a good hotel — giving it bonus points if it’s cheaper. While your accommodation can also be an experience, there is a much bigger adventure waiting for visitors outside their rooms. There will be a lot more expenses when you go out to explore, and the most important factor for a great accommodation is to get a good night’s sleep!
