Special March 2012 fares for multi-stop tickets on BootsnAll

Long-term travel is something that many Americans just assume is impossible to do. While taking a long trip, whether it’s a traditional RTW trip or just simply traveling for more than a few weeks at a time, is certainly not easy, there are plenty of ways to make it possible.

One of the ways to make long-term travel a reality is to spend money wisely and travel on a budget. Budget travel means many things to many people, but it doesn’t necessarily have to mean staying in grubby 16-person dorm rooms and eating Ramen noodles for all your meals. There is a difference between being a cheap traveler vs. being a budget traveler.

There are plenty of tips to employ when traveling on a budget. A recent article on BootsnAll highlighted a family who traveled by bike around Europe for $14 per person per day. That’s certainly one creative way to do it. But you don’t have to go to extremes to be able to travel the world. Start small – travel in shoulder season or take advantage of free attractions to help offset the high costs of plane tickets and accommodations.

While traveling for several months or even a year takes some sacrifice, with a little ingenuity most anyone can make it happen. It’s all about making travel a priority in your life, no different than saving for a house or a nice car. Once you make it your top priority, it can happen. What are your favorite budget travel tips that can keep you going for longer?

If you do decide to throw caution to the wind and travel the world, the first thing you’ll want to look at is airfare.
