San Francisco

Use the fall as an excuse to go tour Los Angeles’ northern cousin and enjoy everything it has to offer. Here in San Francisco, fall is known as “Indian Summer” because the warm weather is carried all the way through November. Fall in San Francisco is considered the season every person looks forward to because it’s when all the greatest events and festivals happen like the Treasure Island Music Festival.

Italy

Italy is one of the most most beautiful places in the world. From its ancient architecture to its historical locations, there are many reasons to visit Italy in fall. To start, airfare and accommodations are a lot cheaper during fall so getting around is easier than it is in other seasons. In the month of October, visitors can enjoy waking up to cool, crisp mornings and evenings while enjoying the sunshine in the afternoon. During autumn, you can attend some exclusive fall festivals like Boccaccessa Food and Wine Festival or the Bra Cheese Festival.

Mexico

Mexico is a place that is calm and serene during the fall as not many people travel during this time, making it the perfect season for a romantic getaway. The weather in Mexico is absolutely divine because it hardly rains, so be sure to get as much fresh air as you can while taking in the sight of the lush vegetation. Participate in the festivals that are only available in fall such as Day of the Dead or Reto al Tepozteco. Like Italy, the travel costs are low and that means the attractions won’t be crowded as much.

Everyone needs time to unwind, so fall is a great time to take a break from your career. There are many other places to go to during this time of year, so conduct some research to find the perfect fall getaway! The world is yours to explore!

With summer just around the corner, many folks are already gearing up for their annual getaways. Others, meanwhile, may not have anything planned, as they didn’t think they could afford a vacation this year. It’s time to think again. Travel is possible on almost any budget. Creating a budget requires foresight and a bit of discipline. This article will talk about how you can create your own travel budget to satisfy your travel bug.

Research Early

Narrow down the list of possible destinations to four or five. Go online to research travel costs, like accommodations, airfare (if necessary), and area restaurants, as well as any can’t-miss activities. Then choose whichever destination seems like the best value for the time spent there. This will help you create an overall budget with which to work. The website budgetyourtrip.com

is an excellent resource to use as an outline for your budget. The site provides pricing on a number of global destinations, making it easier for travelers to choose the right spot for their individual needs.

Don’t Forget Secondary Expenses

Some destinations require additional travel costs upon arrival. Rental cars, gasoline, bus or rail fare, or subway passes all should be considered as secondary expenses. Be sure to build these into your budget from the beginning, so you aren’t left short-handed.

Be Flexible About Accommodations

Hotels often represent the greatest vacation expense. For people on a strict budget, this is problematic but also easy to get around, depending on the destination. European hostels, for example, are no longer populated solely with backpacking teenagers, and are a clean and affordable choice. Another tip is to look for accommodations with a small fridge or kitchenette, to save on dining costs.

Create A Budget Spreadsheet

This can be as simple as a double-sided list, with income on one side and monthly expenses on the other. If your income is flexible enough to add a little something extra each month, then add a new category called “Travel Savings” and put the bonus income there. Otherwise, find an expense that can be easily trimmed by a few dollars, and put the surplus in the travel column.

Track Spending

Take notes on every travel expense that’s incurred on the trip, to get a sense of where the money is going. This will help to shape the budget for your next vacation, as it will give you a good outlook on your spending habits.
