Budget Travel Blogs

A good source for other blogs about budget travel is the blog www.lessthanashoestring.com. The author tends to do roundups of various parts of the world with people's suggestions on how to save money there, as well as providing her own travel tips.

Some of the posts struck me as a little silly, such as one about how to save money at the movies in Berlin. After all, how much can a movie cost? Maybe $20 maximum? But I suppose if you happen to be in Berlin and are a big movie fan, it could be useful.

More useful are the references to other people's blogs with specific suggestions. One I especially liked was a post about spending time in New York City without spending much money by Leyla Alyanak, who writes about travel for women, www.women-on-the-road.com. She had the advantage of having a free place to stay, so right away that saved her a lot, but she has other useful tips on free museum days, the joys of walking in the city and where to find inexpensive food.

In any case, it is good to see that there are a lot of people out there willing to offer us their wisdom on how to save money while seeing the world.
