Look for Freebies When You Travel
Free events can be as simple as tour of a winery and a wine tasting or as complex as attending a public festival. Money from a paycheck advance goes further if you plan to do some free events, alongside paid ones, to make your trip fun and memorable.
Business Sponsored Events
Wine tastings are usually free on tours because business owners know that once you taste their product, you will want to buy it. It makes business sense for them to give you a free tour and tasting so that they sell more wine. This concept is not unique to wineries, any business trying to stimulate sales will sweeten the deal with a free offer.
Free stays can sometimes be had at timeshare clubs for sitting through a sales presentation. Understand that they will try to get you to buy a timeshare, but it is not required. It can be hard to avoid signing on the dotted line, but it’s not impossible and if you have a stomach for aggressive sales pitches you can score a couple of free nights at a nice timeshare location.
Where to Find More?
Ask your friends on social networks or plug your destination and the word “free” into a search engine. Be careful not to be taken into online scams and always check out each deal thoroughly before you decide to do it.
Check out sites like DoFreeStuff.com which lists free events across the U.K. or goindia.about.com showing 10 categories with links of free events around the country ranging from street carnivals to art galleries to temple viewing. A little research before getting on the plane will definitely yield big results when looking for low cost activities abroad. In the end, don’t avoid travel just because the budget is tight. Creative planning and flexible expectations can make any trip a lifetime memory.
