We’ve been working hard lately and crunching a lot of numbers. We pulled out the old statistics textbook and studied it thoroughly. We forced the planets to line up, the atoms to quantitate, and our cat to land butter-side up. The end result is a new mathematical and statistical method for calculating the average daily costs here at Budget Your Trip. Now, our travel budget will be more accurate than ever. (more…)

Photo Friday: Southern Ethiopia
Friday, April 1st, 2011The theme of this week’s Photo Friday is Southern Ethiopia. This is part of my personal effort to convince as many people as possible to visit Africa. After spending several months on the continent, we realized that we had only experienced a drop in the bucket. Africa is so huge and diverse that it would take years to fully understand all of the cultures, history, tragedy, and beauty that this immense land has to offer. (more…)

Hiking Torres del Paine in Patagonia, Chile
Monday, March 14th, 2011Torres del Paine is a national park in Patagonia, Chile. It is known for some of the most spectacular hiking in the world.
I met many people as I hiked the park – people doing it on many different budgets. There was Joe from Chicago who camped and lived on porridge for nine days – surely that’s the cheapest it can be done. There were others who stayed at the Refugios with breakfast, dinner and a box lunch included for the trail. In between there was me: I camped, ate one meal at a Refugio, had drinks at the bar during happy hour (when they were half price) and ate a lot of nuts, dried fruit and other easily portable food.

So if you want to see the city without the enormous expense, don’t be satisfied with the usual tourist hangouts, get around. (more…)
Frugal February
Monday, February 28th, 2011February is coming to a close, and that means that Amy and Kieron’s blog is now full of travel budgeting awesomeness. For the last month, the theme of their blog, Don’t Ever Look Back, has been “Frugal February”. It’s been loaded with budget travel tips and advice from experienced travelers in the blogging community. We’d also like to thank them for letting us post an overview of Budget Your Trip. If you’re planning a trip, check out all of the great advice, tips, and resources on their blog.
Also, we wrote a guest post entitled “10 Ways to Save Money While Traveling” on GotSaga. You’ll probably notice that our first piece of advice is cut out alcoholic beverages. We know you won’t be too happy about that (neither are we), but it’s actually quite effective if you’re strapped for cash.
Happy Travels!
