My Story
Luxury on a budget – How does that work?
In my early 20s when I was traveling solo through Europe, my eyes sparkled with joy when I found a bunk bed in downtown Budapest for $7. Despite my inability to fall asleep that night due to the multitude of people packing and unpacking, I thought that was a great deal.
But now, looking back, would I still think that it was a great deal? Nope!
I would have paid $13 more for a small private room in that hostel and enjoyed a free breakfast the next morning. Why? Because the added value (free breakfast) would have offset the extra cost. More importantly, I would have had a better rest to prepare for my long itinerary the next day.
As I travel more and more, I have come to realize that the best deals are not always the cheapest ones. The key to traveling better, cheaper, and smarter, is to maximize the value of your time and money.
With the right mindset, I’ve been able to travel and do more for less money. I’ve flown around the world, even in business class, and stayed at luxury hotels for free or at a minimal cost.
If you’re curious about how I’ve done it, I’ve put together a free guide that shares my secrets for luxury travel on a budget. So if you want to join me on my journey and experience the world without breaking the bank, be sure to grab your copy!
