From what and how to pack, where to stay for free, getting cheap plane tickets, and getting by on $25 dollars a day!

These websites will without a doubt save you money, time and best of all, give you some great ideas for how to travel.

Sta Travel

On STA Travel you can select the continents your interested in traveling to and create a RSS feed of cheap flights that fly to those continents. This site is geared towards student travelers who don’t have rigid schedules to adhere too and is a great opportunity to find good deals. You may not know you wanted to visited Paris, but for $490 round trip, how could you not?

Art of Travel

“How To See The World… On $25 A Day On Less!” This website, written by a veteran traveler, is a great resource for how to save money, how to pack, what not to take, where not to go and how to get by on the cheap, you must see this website.

AirNinja.com

Air Ninja is a great flight finder, the way the engine works is you can input your city, and destination and Air Ninja shows you only discount Airline Carriers who fly to and from these locations. Air Ninja only shows discount carriers, so if you can’t find a discount carrier going to where you want, you may be forced to book through Travelocity or other brokers.

OneBag

To quote the website “The art and science of traveling light” This website is a great resource for anyone traveling, no matter where your going or for how long. And not just tips on packing but what to bring, what to wear and how to get around. Even the veteran traveler can learn why not to bring cotton towels and the many uses of a clothesline.

Hostels.com

The ultimate database of hostels worldwide. You can book through their website and read reviews. Nothing beats staying in Tokyo for $13 a night.

Couch Surfing Project

Listings of free places to stay all over the world. FREE. Yes FREE. This is great for travelers looking to cut cost. Don’t worry about ending up in a undesirable situation, you can do your research of the places you’ll be staying. This is also a great way to see the real hot spots of a country and not just the touristy locales.

Fare Compare

Fare Compare allows you to search numerous air ticket sales websites at once and compare them easier than going to each site and imputing your search in over and over.

Hostels.com is cool. If you search for a hostel you might want to checkout TFTHostels.com I just started a beta version for this site 3 weeks ago. All hostels from Hostelworld, Hostelbookers and Hostelsclub on 1 site. I could not find a hostel for 13 dollar in Tokyo on both sites…

Happy travels

Great info, and Marco, I think many of the Hostel websites vary seasonally, i’ve traveled peak times before and sometimes the prices can double or triple than slower seasons

Loved the article, but just watched the Movie “Hostel” part 1 & 2. I will be staying at hotels for awhile! Love the other tips though!
