Travel is one of the easiest ways to get out of chaos for a short term. Traveling connects us somewhere to an unknown place and an unknown culture. It gives us a glimpse of connection to the world. It shows us how similar we are, irrespective of our differences.
To get a good experience, we must remember one fact: good accommodation enriches our new experience, and if you are on a budget, it becomes more difficult for us to find that perfect accommodation. So today, in this blog, we will explore some options to find that perfect budgetary accommodation.
TYPES OF ACCOMMODATION THAT YOU CAN GO FOR:
- Hostels
- Capsule Hotels
- Apartments
- Camp Areas
- Couch Surfing
- Connections
- Local Rental Places
- Bed and Breakfast
- Hotels
- House Sitting
Now we have a big list of where we can find cheap and free accommodations, and the next thing that we will do is to categorize it into two categories as follows:
- Cheap Price
- Free of Cost (may involve some other chores)
Let us discuss which one falls under which category as follows:
Cheap Price:
The accommodations under this category may have cheaper costs than other accommodations at your travel place, so we will discuss them one by one, and you may look according to your suitability to determine which one suits you the best.
Hostels:
You love to socialize with other people during your travels, and you can share your accommodation too, so choosing a hostel is one of the best options that you can choose during your stay. People worldwide or locations choose to share with others in hostels. You can also get a common kitchen area to cook meals in hostels. Choosing a hostel is one of the cheapest accommodations you can select from the available options. Before choosing a hostel, check all the reviews of where you are considering staying.
Capsule Hotels:
The concept of capsule hotels started in the country of Japan around the year 1979 (approximately). These are also called pod hotels. In the case of capsule hotels, we get the pod to stay, which is so small that you can say the size you will get is of a large bed. You also get basic features like a locker in case of a capsule hotel where you can keep your things; otherwise, the bathrooms are common for people staying there. These hotels are cheaper than the others, so capsule hotels are one of the best options to stay during your next vacation.
Apartments:
If you want your own time and time with your travel mates, then renting an apartment is also a good option that you can go for. The right apartment can save you a lot of bucks, which you can save or spend on other things. You can share your apartment with your other travel mates, which will help you to share your financial burden with others and will cost you way cheaper than other options. You can also cook in your apartment, which is also great for fitness freaks who do not want to eat outside and those who love to cook.
Camping:
Fresh air for your soul works best when you get tired from your everyday life; that is where camping comes in. It will soothe your soul so that all your tiredness will fade away, so camping is one of the best outdoor activities you can do. Now there are some sites where you must pay the fees to put your camping tent.
Couch Surfing:
Couch Surfing is similar to free, but you have to pay a small amount, which is very close to free. So, what does couch surfing mean? Globally, travelers stay in other people's homes or sofas to save their traveling expenses. So, it is a hosting service to the guests by the family. This option helps you to know more about the country and its people and how they usually live and spend their lives, so it is a good option if you can stay at someone's home and want to know more about the culture.
Local Rental Places:
This option we will discuss here can be great if you want to explore the world. You can contact the agents of that place. They can provide you with accommodations that you can rent for and which ones are at the discount price so some accommodations will not be in the main city but on the outskirts of the town or city so choosing that is also a great option because that will cost you cheaper than the accommodations located in the heart of the city.
Bed And Breakfast:
B&B is like a homestay where they provide night accommodation and serve you breakfast. This type of homestay will be offered to you by the traditional households of a country. For example, if you visit Japan, a traditional household family will provide you with an overnight place to stay and breakfast in the morning. This type of stay is more cozy and comfortable and provides you with a warm home feel.
Hotels
Now you must consider how hotels can be covered in this cheap accommodation because they are usually expensive. But sometimes, you can get your hotel at a cheaper price if you go through different ways. Suppose you are sharing a room with your travel mates. In that case, it will save you some money, and other than sharing, you can try Ota's, which offers slime really huge discounts that will make your stay cheaper. And if you have great stay rewards with your credit card points, you can also try a hotel.
Free Of Cost:
The accommodations we are discussing here under this category clearly explain how we can grab some free stays and help us save more. So now we are going to discuss those as follows:
Connections:
Now, what kind of connections are we discussing? In case of connections where you can stay during your foreign visits are your friends, families, online hosts, and sometimes colleagues. You have good relations with your friends and families. Now you will visit their country so choosing their home is also a good option to save your living expenses. Sometimes, we connect with people worldwide online so they can host us, too, and in exchange when they visit your country, you can do the same thing for them.
Camping:
Some areas do not even require camping fees, which is a big thing, but you must remember that you are not going to any of the illegal zones fixed by the government. So until and unless you are in a safe, legal zone, you are free to wander and camp there under the millions of stars in the night sky. So camping can be a great choice if you are looking for free accommodation.
House Sitting:
Last but not least, house sitting is one of the best free accommodations you can go for. But the question arises: What must you do to get these accommodations? As for a basic explanation here, people let you live in their houses in exchange for chores in their homes. Like you have to take care of their pets, or you have to clean the house, or you have to cook, or you have to water their plants. So, in exchange for these chores, people will let you live in their houses, which will save you a lot of money.
In the end, these are some options that you can try to increase your savings. So remember that only a small budget can help you travel to destinations worldwide. Free yourself from these perceptions and let the air take you to the new destination waiting for you.
