●Save：This probably is the most important preparation for traveling．Cut expenses to fatten your wallet so you'll have more choices about where to go and how to get there．
●Plan ahead：Don't wait until the last minute to plan your trip．Tickets may cost more when bought on short notice．Giving yourself several months to get ready can mean security and savings．
●Do your homework：No matter where you go，research the places you will visit．Decide what to see．Travel books will provide information on the cheapest hotels and restaurants．
●Plan sensibly：Write down how much you expect to spend for food and hotels．Stick to your plan or you may not have enough money to cover everything．
●Travel in groups：Find someone who is interested in visiting the same places．By traveling with others you can share costs and experiences．
●Work as you go：Need more money to support your trip？Look for work in the places you visit．
