Money always hinder people from traveling.
Before I start to travel, I always thought that it would be hard and difficult to travel especially oversea traveling when you're in low budget. But, after my first time oversea travel, I found out that low budget is never a problem to travel around!
Here's some tips when you need to travel in a low budget and these tips are super useful for myself.
First, you need to settle your air tickets to travel around. Get your air tickets during promotion! Little tips for Airasia user, no need to wait for Zero fair, a normal promotion can get you far enough! Try not to book your tickets too early before you make sure of your available dates to avoid burning your air tickets. There's plenty of promotions, just buy your tickets once there's any promotion. The prices of the promotion fares wont be much difference.
After settle down your tickets, here comes your stay. You must know these two websites for you accommodation settlement. These websites are really useful for me while I'm traveling.
The first website I will go for is www.booking.com. Booking.com is a website that you can book and edit your reservation without any pre payment or deposits. This is definitely a
good way to save your money for a budget trip. If you find a stay that
fit your budget, you can just book it and keep it in your list. You
can cancel it and book the new one when you find a cheaper
and better recommendation hostel or hotel. But you need to note down that for booking.com, changes 2 days before your stay will be charge. So please remember to make your changes or cancellation 2 days before your booking!

After browsing booking.com and still can't get an ideal stay, the second website for me will be www.hostelworld.com. Hostelworld is another website that you can book your hostel or hotel without booking fees. You need to note down that 12% down-payment or deposits will be charge when you make any booking.

Hostels and dormitories are always my choice if I'm having a small group size travel mates. If you're traveling in a
big group maybe you can compare the price of hostel and hotel.
Sometimes hotel will be even cheaper than hostel after you divide among
the group.One of the benefit of staying at backpacker hostels is you can make your connections with other backpackers instead of staying in your own hotel room. You can social around with the travelers and this is one of the best way to get some information of your travel spot and their travel experiences might be useful for your trip! Make friends because people always make your journey memories more meaningful and unforgettable.
After settle down your air ticktes and stay, basically you are on to the trip! Ready yourself and its time for you to get some information about the place that you're going to. I found www.triposo.com and www.couchsurfing.com are the best to know about the stories and information of your spot. Triposo is full of details and information of many travel spots. While Couchsurfing, you can make friends with the locals and you might get a chance to spend you trip in a locally way instead of touristic way. By using Couchsurfing you might even get a stay with the locals and enjoy yourself being a local at your travel spot. That's definitely the best way of travel for me. If you're shy and introvert to make connections with others, you can try on Triposo but if you're a outgoing person, just take a try on Couchsurfing!

These are the 3 important tips for me to travel in a low budget. I got cheap and affordable air fares from during any airasia promotions; I got cheap and affordable nice stays from Booking.com and Hostelworld.com; I know friends all around the world through Couchsurfing and broaden my connections.
Everyone can travel as long as you make your move after your thought. Stop thinking and dreaming, make a move my friends! If you have any questions you can just drop me a comment or email!
