## Look for Cheap Flights Hunt for cheap flights, and then choose your travel destination. "I use the service 'Skyscanner', select flexible dates and the destination 'everywhere'. This way, you can see the best offers at the lowest prices," says Sofia. This way, she flew for three euros on the Riga-Warsaw route, for six euros from Warsaw to Bologna, and to many cities in Europe for 15 euros - Rome, Dublin, Milan, Bratislava, etc. ## Agree to Promotional Newsletters Sign up on all possible websites, download apps from carriers, train companies, hotels, accommodation or transport aggregators, museums, etc., and agree to promotional newsletters. They often send discounts on tickets, seasonal sales, and promo codes. Also, if you are registered in an app or loyalty program, you can avoid additional fees and commissions that you pay when purchasing a ticket as a guest. ## Advance Planning If you plan your trip in advance, you can get decent discounts depending on the season and other conditions. "I buy tickets, excursions, and transfers one to two months before the trip. There are often early bird deals or seasonal promotions," shares the blogger. ## Consider Hostels Instead of Hotels Accommodation is always the largest part of expenses on a trip. Therefore, consider hostels, as there are many decent options for 15-20 euros per night. Among the advantages of hostels are their locations in the city center and the opportunity to meet people from all over the world or locals. "If a hostel with 10 roommates is not for you, consider guesthouses or rooms. This is when a separate room in a house or apartment is rented out. Such options can be found on Airbnb. It turns out to be much cheaper than a hotel," adds Sofia. ## Food In this case, the mobile app 'Too Good To Go' will help you. It allows you to buy "surprise bags" from restaurants, cafes, supermarkets, and bakeries at significantly reduced prices. "This is food that is left at the end of the day and could have gone to the trash, although it is still absolutely fresh," explains Sofia.
