Top Tricks For Cheap Student Travel This Summer By Mackenzie Maher

Financial Wellness
Financial wellness is a necessity for successfully going through not only college but all of life. Managing your finances can be stressful especially when there is such much to do in the world. Something I am really passionate about is traveling. My parents instilled this into me from when I was very young. Now that I am older, it is time for me to adventure on my own without my parents. It is exciting until I realize I have no money to do so. On iGrad, I decided to look up travel and what I found was an article titled, “Top Tricks for Cheap Student Travel This Summer,” by Mackenzie Maher. This article brought up many ideas I never even thought of. Here are just a few I thought were interesting.
Travel websites that cater

specifically to students is something I had never heard of. Subscribing to a website like this will notify you when great deals are being offered. A lot of times these deals will include airfare, hotel, and sometimes even tours. After doing this, ask around and see if your colleagues would want to join. It is noted that you can sometimes get special deals and fares for traveling in groups. Plus, it would be more fun with a group of your friends.
Another inexpensive way to travel is to stay in hostels or travel to a country where the dollar has more value. Many countries in Asia can be an extremely cheap place to travel. This is one thing I knew before reading this article actually because of my cousin who moved to Thailand two years ago. The hotel, food, and experiences are very cheap, the only expensive part would be your flight there.
These are all things to think about when traveling. I am glad to have these tips for future reference when traveling in the future. Hopefully I will be in a well financial state when the time comes for me to travel. I also am looking forward to studying abroad, which is another good alternative for traveling when you are young and not in the best financial state.
