Are you also playing with video titles and thumbs like Verisatium channel is? I think "Efficient on your travels? Think again!" or "Getting more for less?! Yes! It's possible" would be better than 65 tips.. 65tips sounds tiring to me, it would take so long to go through the whole video..
I'm big on finding restaurants that offer happy hour deals on food and drinks. Or going places at off hours to save. I also find buying things last minute often can end up being a steal on things like accommodations and event tickets. In the US I still use Groupon to save money as well. - Brandi
Madam how to transfer ARS INTO AED DIRHAM CONVERTING INTO USD AND TRANSFER INTO AED IF I DO 100,000 ARS INTO USD, how much usd will get totally ? And how much aed from usd to Aed after ?
Great tips and resources. Another tip when booking accommodations is to look for hostels or hotels that offer a free breakfast. One tip you mentioned that I sort of disagree with is negotiating everything. When I'm in a local market, for instance, I usually just pay full price, or even gringo prices. The vendors are often quite poor, and I feel cheap and petty trying to save a buck by paying less than they ask for. Of course, you don't want to get ripped off, but if they are asking $4 for something, and you try to get it for $3, it just cheapens the experience a little. On the other hand, if you show kindness and generosity to a local, you might find yourself invited to their home for a dinner or fiesta.
I appreciate your comment Steve, I feel the same way. And as you said it's not about getting "ripped of" but knowing that $4 is a low price for the item on our world/life...
Actually I find that they fully expect to haggle the price in night markets and street markets. It''s part of their culture. If something has a price sticker in a store, that's different. Pay the sticker price. But in night street markets or walking street markets, haggling the price is part of the social experience. They will ask two to three times the price they expect to finally sell the item at. It's fully expected. It's part of the "game". You both come to a price you agree on, and both are still happy. Or you don't agree, and part company. It's all part of those kind of markets. To top it off, not all travelers have a lot of money to throw around. If you are well monied and don't have to watch your budget...fine. Pay full price for everything and stay in four and five star hotels But many of us travelers and expats are living on a lot less, or living on pensions and are not loaded with cash. Like me. I always stay in fairy cheap accomodation. Like renting an apartment in Chiang Mai for $160 U.S. a month. Like renting an apartment for $100 U.S. a month in Siem Reap. Eat Khmer food at local mom and pop Cambodian tiny restaurants. A meal for 1.50 U.S. I never use the A/C... fans only to acclimate to the climate and cut my electric bill by a large amount. Haggle in the street markets..... they expect it. If you don't....then after you paid full price... they probably laugh and brag to their friends that they just sold something for full price to another foolish westerner.
@@robertwilliamson6121 I think all countries are different about haggling. We have been here in Mexico for almost a year now. Haggling here is not part of the culture. What we do find is that the vendors have great memories. They seem to remember us even the second time we go to them. If they have fruit that isn't the best, they won't sell it to us and they always either give us gratis things that they put in our bag or just give us a cheaper price when they realize we are steady customers and not just passing through. We have made great relationships with vendors but not through trying to get everything as cheaply as possible. Of course, that's assuming you will be in the area for a bit.
@@timothytibbits7942 You’re correct. Every country different. I’ve never been to Mexico. But in Southeast Asia, haggling/negotiating, is very much accepted, expected, and socially acceptable in street markets, such as the Night Markets and “Walking Street” markets. Haggling…negotiating price…is part of the culture, and is socially acceptable in specific situations such as purchasing a car, real estate, and flea markets, tourist night markets and once a week “walking street” markets etc. Haggling/Negotiating is not socially acceptable in commercialized businesses, such as pharmacies, commercialized businesses, restaurants, and western style supermarkets where prices are fixed and stickered and are not negotiable.
Love your channel. Aside from the context, which is a godsend for any digital nomad, your way of delivering the data with no bullshit and direct approach is pretty great. Keep up the good work!!
Solid list. I would add do the research before the departure. For instance the best way to travel in Tokyo and Japan is with JR Pass, which one can order for better price before entering Japan. Regarding grocery shopping in Japan, supermarkets discount gourmet food after 5 pm. Everything is freshly made the same day and needs to sell before closing.
I would love a separate video on travel cards. I don't currently have ANY credit cards, but there are soooo many out there, it would be nice to have your help narrowing down the options.
Happy to know you loved the video, Tatiana! For sure, I'll add that to my list. You might also enjoy my video on 12 Travel Mistakes to avoid th-cam.com/video/CkNIflAXOxE/w-d-xo.html
Great tips. When I traveled solo I used to budget more and stay in less expensive places than before. I also did budget tours geared towards younger folks like the GAdventures tours for 18 to 39. Now that I am older and have a husband, we do stay in nicer places and leverage points and miles rewards a lot. Thanks for the shout out to safety wings. I am looking for a good travel insurance for our honeymoon trip next year.
That is one of the advantages of solo travel--you can budget your trip however you choose, and it's great to know that you and your husband have taken advantage of your points & rewards. 😊 I'm glad my shout-out to the safety wing came in handy! Safe travels and thanks for watching Martina!
Great tips, but a word of warning about ride sharing apps. Don't use them for anything important. A friend staying in Lisbon saved a lot of money by booking a flight out of Porto (3 hours away) but ended up missing it when her ride share didn't show up.
Thank You Kristin for such valuable resources. I'm very soon to be a full-time nomad and have learnt quite much from you already. An in-depth video about travel credit cards would be really awesome 😁
You are so welcome! Glad my content is helpful for you in your quest in becoming a full-time nomad. If you need more resources you can check out www.digitalnomadbootcamp.com 😊 I am working on those topics so stay tuned!
This was wonderful! Lots of great advice! I need to see a good rundown of different loyalty programs so I will know which ones to use. I also would love to see alternative ways of moving items for travel (i.e., services which deliver luggage). I hate carrying things but often need items I can't always buy at the location ... Or things like books for research. 😊
Hi Kristin! Super video, thorough and well researched, with many practical take-aways based on your extensive personal experiences! Moving forward I will be referring to your travel hacks video as a routine part of my travel / trip planning process. I'll also be sharing this one with relatives and friends! THANKS!!!
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed the video Gediminas. I try to share as much tips as I can and be helpful to all frequent travelers. Thanks for watching and sharing it to your friends and family 😊
Thank you so so much. Planning to retire in 3-4 yrs but already thinking about taking some solo trips to get my feet wet, hopefully next year when we have better control of this crazy pandemic. Won't need to penny pinch like some of the younger folks but your tips will still be invaluable, practical and immensely helpful. Saved the video.
Another great video, thanks, Kristin :) In some places I usually stay with friends (for instance in Scotland, where I used to live) and family (including Costa Rica this summer marrying a local) for free and they have stayed at my place. Or staying in a cheap accommodation (e.g. sleeping in a hammock in Cambodia for $2 per night). This could also mean a place, which your friends there know and where they can negotiate for you. I also stayed in hostels in California or in a village. Eating Out where the locals eat, sometimes even street vendors...or taking a motorbike ride with a local.
whew, Kristin - that was dense. Bravo! I made so many notes. Friends in the USA come to me for travel tips...and then I watch your videos - I have so much more to learn. I really enjoy your videos and always receive some "boots on the ground" wisdom. Thank you!
Thanks for the organized travel tips/hacks. I certainly agree with #1 which I do whenever possible. I learned it a long time ago in NYC and then traveling around SE Asia they expected it and made it fun. Also, the other tip about traveling with people with a lower budget - by coincidence, in a few countries I met and ended up traveling around with people that apparently had a larger budget and wanted to pay for nearly everything when we were out.
Any time Don. Glad you resonated with my content. It is really beneficial to travel with folks who has smaller budget than those who have larger ones. Thanks for watching as well as sharing your experience here. 😊
Kristin! One of your best videos to date! I especially like the hack of traveling at night to save on hotels. Traveling by train in Europe sounds fun, adventurous and romantic. That one and travel with cheap people. Hahaha.
Great video and help! I'm planning my extended world travels next year, after I retire. I would like to hear more of how to use travel rewards cards. Also, how much cash (USD) do you recommend to start traveling and be left stranded?

Hi Kristin, Thanks for another great video with very helpful information. The travel insurance (Safety Wing) and sim card info will come in really handy on my trip to Panama in January. 👍
Thank you for the tips! I'm a big fan of using reusable water bottles as I can usually just fill them up with tap water (assuming it is safe to drink where I am staying). Anytime I have gone somewhere international I have always done the travel insurance which you can purchase with the flight, but I definitely want to look into Safetywing for the next trip. One great tip you can do too to save money is to take advantage of the street food! Street food can be quite cheap and delicious at the same time! I remember going to Vienna three years ago, and I was able to get quite a bit of food for such a low price!
Kristin I love your videos. My wife and I love yo travel. We have a home in Mexico and we also travel by boat which we also keep in Mexico. But now we are considering exploring Europe and islands in the western Pacific. I loved your video on creating income while traveling. Mainly the pirtion about writing. Keep up the good work. Cheers!!
Hi Jose, that is great to know! If you are planning to explore Europe this video might help: th-cam.com/video/fv-r1jEYudg/w-d-xo.html. Glad to know that you loved my video 😊Thank you for watching! 😊
@@TravelingwithKristin Kristen I feel like you might want to use TH-cams A/B testing thumbnail tool, it's new? As that might be it if the CTR is low. Or try a new title (don't try both at same time.)
Thanks for the tips free walking tours are great. You don't need to give them money. Although I always do. Buses cheap easiest way to travel grungy in the UK but in eastern Europe. Alot better.
I’m flying out to Europe again from Los Angeles in late November and I’m going for 10 days. In December I plan on going back to Europe for 3 weeks. Both flights cost $300 round trip each. I guess it’s because it’s not tourist season.
Don’t know if you mentioned this but if thinking about renting a car while traveling in Europe, if you can drive a stick, get a stick shift over an automatic transmission car. From my experience, automatic are more expensive to rent in Europe.
@@TravelingwithKristin I cannot even imagine the amount of time, time on flights, traveling, and the effort it took from you to test and learn that wealth of information!! Certainly, I believe, it is priceless! Can't even imagine countless hours of traveling, visiting the world, perhaps even some struggles you yourself went through! And you put it all together, simple, at our fingertips?! That's really, really nice of you, Kristin! 😀
Hi Kristin, super helpful/detailed travel advice. I plan to do a month-long road trip in the US via rental car (I need the flexibility). Should I go with one of the major rental companies, which do offer considerable discounts for 30 day rentals, or are there other cheaper car rental alternatives? Many thanks!
Excellent video Kristin, thank you for all these tips. Are you able to do some videos on Japan? I'm planning to travel there once this covid nightmare is all over. Also, which brand of cell phone is best to take abroad in regards to ease of use and compatability with their cell services? Thank you

Hi Kristin, Wow! I'm so impressed by all that you've learned from living abroad -- and grateful for all that you've shared. I'm retired and am thinking of traveling or relocating overseas, but I feel overwhelmed by all that you've shared and am not sure just how to start. (I'll have to look at all your videos again.) I heard you say that you often feel like an outsider wherever you go and however long you stay there. So, I'd have to keep connected by enjoying my favorite humor. For instance, I love the late Jeanne Robertson, a humorous speaker. Check out her video on why you should never send a man to the grocery store. :-)

We rent 2 RBNB with washing machine to wash our clothes that fit in a bag pack because we never check in bag during trips specially Summer and Fall because clothes is thinner
Hi Kristen. Thank you for your great videos. I am going to be 70 in November. Still traveling. But gone much smaller now with a 21 litre Minaal Daily convertible backpack and a 6 litre cross body Osprey sling bag. Carry on only. But I have a problem. What is the best debit card for me in Canada to use in foreign countries so I can avoid fees every time I use an ATM machine? Thank you very very much. Have safe flights and happy travels.
Hi Robert, those are both great bags. I own both Minaal and Osprey. You can get a Wise debit card in Canada and use it worldwide to save money on ATM fees. Here’s my link to give it a try! bit.ly/transferwisebank

Very good information, thanks for taking the time and effort to share them! One thing, I always wondered if I could take a cruise ship to a destination but never tried as my understanding is they do not offer one-way fares but only full cruises that return to their origin points..is it possible to book a one-way ticket on a cruise line?
Hi Ron, Glad you found the video informative. I think you can book but you will have find the right cruise to your destination. This link might be helpful: bit.ly/3AEgCTj 😊
Hi Kristin, great tips. Any suggestions for travel/health insurance for some one who is 57? Safteywing seems great if your young, but its like 3x the cost for me.
When I travel all over America I use my camper vans because I do live out of it part time but when I travel I use that.. so the question I like to ask you is when I travel abroad overseas is it cheaper to rent a campervan a mini campervan wild romantic hotels in rooms that's what I would do. I love living out of my camper van.. because I am a minimalist of course.. let me know..🤘🖒🖒
You are welcome, glad you found the video informative. It can be hard when you are traveling with your family and children, I do understand that but saving is still doable. 😊

Kristin I love your videos. My wife and I love yo travel. We have a home in Mexico and we also travel by boat which we also keep in Mexico. But now we are considering exploring Europe and islands in the western Pacific. I loved your video on creating income while traveling. Mainly the pirtion about writing. Keep up the good work. Cheers!!
Hi Jose, that is great to know! If you are planning to explore Europe this video might help: th-cam.com/video/fv-r1jEYudg/w-d-xo.html. Glad to know that you loved my video 😊Thank you for watching! 😊
Very informative and thank you so very much 🤗
You’re welcome, Stewart!
This is a solid list! Thanks for putting this one together!
You’re welcome!
You are such a great speaker and so knowledgeable! Your parents must be so proud of you :D
Great tips! Another tip when purchasing the train ticket is that you can get European train tickets with a 5% discount in one helpful APP!
WHY THIS DOESN'T have way more views is beyond me, I bookmarked and came back now to write notes!
Thank you so much for your support! I agree this video was underrated ;)
It’s not late to know how to buy cheaper tickets for the next trip!
@@TravelingwithKristin Kristen I feel like you might want to use TH-cams A/B testing thumbnail tool, it's new? As that might be it if the CTR is low. Or try a new title (don't try both at same time.)
Thanks for the tips free walking tours are great. You don't need to give them money. Although I always do. Buses cheap easiest way to travel grungy in the UK but in eastern Europe. Alot better.
Very true! Thanks for sharing John. glad you liked the tips. That's great that you still pay on free walking tours.😊 Always tip your guide, everyone!
Awesome video! I have traveled quite a bit in my life, but I still learned valuable tips from the Goddess of travel. Thanks so much for sharing.
Glad to hear it, Steve!
Thank you so much 😊
You are welcome @Elena!
Thank you Kristin!
You’re welcome!
can you please make a video more in depth about the cards you use for travel please?
I'll add that to my list, thanks Annastayziaa 😊
@@TravelingwithKristin thank youuu❤️❤️❤️❤️
First add to my favorites on TH-cam! So much helpful info. Thank you!!
Awesome 🙌 Thanks @Shannon, glad it was helpful to you!
Awesome info summary. I'll bookmark. Muito obrigado!
De nada! So glad it was helpful
A video comparing Wise vs credit/debit cards (like Fidelity Cash Management) for traveling would be great!
Great suggestion! I'll add that to the list 😊
wow very helpful & so much info thank you 🙏🏼
Glad it was helpful! You are welcome 😊
You are always a useful engine, a really useful engine , just like Thomas the train 🚂
ha ha! Thank Joe! Glad you like the video. 😊
I’m flying out to Europe again from Los Angeles in late November and I’m going for 10 days. In December I plan on going back to Europe for 3 weeks. Both flights cost $300 round trip each. I guess it’s because it’s not tourist season.
It must be it. Safe travels to you Anthony! 😊
Kristin: These are EXTRAORDINARILY helpful!!
Thank you for all you do and Happy New Year!!
You are so welcome, Laila! Happy New year 🙌💛
Don’t know if you mentioned this but if thinking about renting a car while traveling in Europe, if you can drive a stick, get a stick shift over an automatic transmission car. From my experience, automatic are more expensive to rent in Europe.
Yes! That’s a great tip. I’m glad I learned as a teenager. Also getting an international drivers license so you can rent in stricter countries
@@TravelingwithKristin I concur!
Awesome tips!!
Glad you like them! 💗😊
@@TravelingwithKristin I cannot even imagine the amount of time, time on flights, traveling, and the effort it took from you to test and learn that wealth of information!! Certainly, I believe, it is priceless! Can't even imagine countless hours of traveling, visiting the world, perhaps even some struggles you yourself went through! And you put it all together, simple, at our fingertips?! That's really, really nice of you, Kristin! 😀
Thanks a lot
Happy to help Khan!
Very informative! Thank you!🤗
You are welcome, glad it was helpful 😊 Stay tuned for more!
@@TravelingwithKristin Absolutely
Hi Kristin, super helpful/detailed travel advice. I plan to do a month-long road trip in the US via rental car (I need the flexibility). Should I go with one of the major rental companies, which do offer considerable discounts for 30 day rentals, or are there other cheaper car rental alternatives? Many thanks!
Thanks Brandon! It's my pleasure to share these to you 😊

Also, which brand of cell phone is best to take abroad in regards to ease of use and compatability with their cell services? Thank you

Hi Kristin, I saw this vid from your Patreon page earlier today. "TIP" #1 really should be to join on your page and get the latest news and advisories! Lots of perks for so little! This was a tough vid to make cramming all these things into a 30 min vid. You work way, way to much!! -:)
Thank you, CJ! I wanted to do 100 tips but had to hold back 😂 I screenshot your comment to share on social media. Thanks for the support!
@@TravelingwithKristin Cool!! I'll bring an extra Panettone for you to celebrate with your family on the holidays!!
@@cjc4765 sounds good to me! Btw I just realized I wrote Chip instead of CJ on my last message - brain fog for a moment (I fixed it) 😉
@@TravelingwithKristin it’s OK Kristin I don’t mind.👍🙏
Great info my wife and I are planning some full time travel in February 2023
Glad you enjoyed the video. Fully time traveling in 2021 sounds great Matthew. Where are you planning to go?
@@TravelingwithKristin we have our own channel *Talyah and Matt" we want to start in Thailand. My family is from there so it has some emotional significance.
Congrats on another great video Kirstin!
Thank you 💛🙌
You really great lady .love you
Thanks! 😊
Hi Kristin,
Wow! I'm so impressed by all that you've learned from living abroad -- and grateful for all that you've shared. I'm retired and am thinking of traveling or relocating overseas, but I feel overwhelmed by all that you've shared and am not sure just how to start. (I'll have to look at all your videos again.) I heard you say that you often feel like an outsider wherever you go and however long you stay there. So, I'd have to keep connected by enjoying my favorite humor. For instance, I love the late Jeanne Robertson, a humorous speaker. Check out her video on why you should never send a man to the grocery store. :-)
Hi Roger! Glad you enjoyed everything that I've shared, you are always welcome. If you are looking to relocate you might want to check out my relocation website: www.orbisrelocation.com/😊That's good that you stay connected with your fun side, thanks for sharing and I'll check it out!
Great practical tips! 😊
Glad you enjoyed, Karen!
What companies would you suggest for travel health insurance? I would be interested in South American and European travel. Fantastic videos very helpful. Thank you.
Hi Lucinda! I am so glad you liked my video. I recommends looking into Remote Health by SafetyWing, which is a global health insurance plan that will cover you short or long term in multiple countries.
You are brilliant!
Thanks for the compliment Kathy! 😊
Terrific info that I hadn't known before... Wonderful content and I am happy to subscribe! 👍
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed and learned something new from my video @KLL! Thank you for subscribing, Welcome and enjoy my channel 😊
Can you break this down per place that you travel to so we can see exactly what you do for people like me that has never done this, please….thank you 😊
You are amazing ❤️🥰this is great information 💯
Thank you Royland! I am glad you liked the video😊

Glad you love it! 😊 You are welcome Eric B
Thank you for sharing your experience. Great information 👍👌
Glad it was helpful @Barton! You are always welcome!😊
We rent 2 RBNB with washing machine to wash our clothes that fit in a bag pack because we never check in bag during trips specially Summer and Fall because clothes is thinner
That's a smart and efficient way to travel! 🌞👕🌿 Enjoy your trips! 🌍😊
Hi Kristen. Thank you for your great videos. I am going to be 70 in November. Still traveling. But gone much smaller now with a 21 litre Minaal Daily convertible backpack and a 6 litre cross body Osprey sling bag. Carry on only. But I have a problem. What is the best debit card for me in Canada to use in foreign countries so I can avoid fees every time I use an ATM machine?
Thank you very very much. Have safe flights and happy travels.
Hi Robert, those are both great bags. I own both Minaal and Osprey. You can get a Wise debit card in Canada and use it worldwide to save money on ATM fees. Here’s my link to give it a try! bit.ly/transferwisebank
@@TravelingwithKristin Hello Kristen……I signed up with Wise. But when I went to cards, it says…
“We’re sorry, cards haven’t reached your country yet”

Wow what a video thank you for sharing your experiance just amazing
Glad you enjoyed the video Lawrence. You are always welcome 😊
Saving money on traveling depends on when you book it as well.. different times in different seasons will determine how cheap are you going to pay.m
That’s correct; booking in off peak or shoulder seasons
@@TravelingwithKristin exactly cuz I love traveling also so you have to know the right time or else you going to pay dearly for it..
Very good information, thanks for taking the time and effort to share them! One thing, I always wondered if I could take a cruise ship to a destination but never tried as my understanding is they do not offer one-way fares but only full cruises that return to their origin points..is it possible to book a one-way ticket on a cruise line?
Hi Ron, Glad you found the video informative. I think you can book but you will have find the right cruise to your destination. This link might be helpful: bit.ly/3AEgCTj 😊
Hi Kristin, great tips. Any suggestions for travel/health insurance for some one who is 57? Safteywing seems great if your young, but its like 3x the cost for me.
Hi Chris, I’ve been getting a lot of questions about this. Video on the way!
@@TravelingwithKristin thank you, looking forward to it!
Thanks. Mike
You are welcome. Mike!
When I travel all over America I use my camper vans because I do live out of it part time but when I travel I use that.. so the question I like to ask you is when I travel abroad overseas is it cheaper to rent a campervan a mini campervan wild romantic hotels in rooms that's what I would do. I love living out of my camper van.. because I am a minimalist of course.. let me know..🤘🖒🖒
I’m not sure about the rates in Europe but it’s definitely an affordable way to get around
@@TravelingwithKristin thank you that's why I said let me get your opinion what you think..
All good hacks for expats & digital nomads.
Glad you think so Sammie!
Thanks ..great video also good info how to save money. But traveling as a family with children it's hard to save money and piece of mind.
You are welcome, glad you found the video informative. It can be hard when you are traveling with your family and children, I do understand that but saving is still doable. 😊
