    I use Google flights and then use the section called "Explore Destinations". Amazingly cheap flights.

      @@andrealuna1048 Yes, it's still available. People haven't stopped traveling. You just have to protect yourself the same you will while wherever you live. Covid is everywhere, so traveling doesn't make it worse. You can contract covid anywhere. The majority of people who get covid aren't protecting themselves. That comes from ICU nurses in television interviews. Those people weren't even wearing masks, and the ones who did only wore them occasionally and had some cheap mask on as thin as a paper towel.

    She is right about studying abroad. I studied abroad my junior year of college also and I was able to travel to over 10 countries in Europe. It's a lot cheaper than people think and I didn't have that much money either.

    I use the skyscanner app for tip #1. In June I went to Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore and loved it. I didn't plan on going to Malaysia but the plane ticket from Thailand was only $34! I couldn't miss that deal and I'm so glad I went. Thanks for the tips!

      That's pretty common price for Thailand to Malaysia actually. Fares like that are readily available so anyone looking to travel Southeast Asia at pretty much anytime can enjoy those. AirAsia is my favorite and regularly have deals that drop the prices even lower.

    I've yet to figure out why Hawaii is so expensive! Every time I think about buying a ticket I say forget it, I can go abroad for that much!

    • @jimgreen9059
      @jimgreen9059 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      38ktgold & Daneka Hillery, I'd guess the main reason is that aside from flowers, pineapples, surfboards and swimsuits, everything has to be brought by either plane or ship, since they're 2000 miles SW of CA. If your view of cutting corners is staying in a 4 star hotel instead of a 5, and eating 2 times a day at restaurants instead of 3, you're going to have an expensive stay. I recommend you try it. Like Alaska (which as you know, is also detached), it's amazingly beautiful.

      HI is not expensive at all!!! I live in CA and this state is more pricey. 1 thing i recommend is buy your tickets ahead of time, not just for hawaii, newhere u go, when u search online search incognito that way travel sites wont record what ur looking 4. If u go in a group, take adavntage of the group discounts. Spend 2k on my Hawaii trip, airfare, hotel and all the spending money included, and i love adventure

    Backpacking New Zealand right now. If you come from the United States with savings before, it’s not too bad actually. If you use the country’s currency, yes it will be more expensive. However, with USD, it’s a lot cheaper because the US dollar is worth more. Also, a lot of people do the camper van dwelling that makes it cheaper as well. The tickets are expensive, but once you’re here, you’re already here! That’s the hardest part. The plane flights within New Zealand are even better. Depending on when you buy, a plane ticket to another city can be at cheapest around $20-30 and at most maybe $100. A ticket in the states from another city is like $300. I will say the cheapest way to fly is to do it from a port closer to that side of the country. I do L.A. It’s also another opportunity for another mini trip. Anything on the west coast really will work.

    Flexibility is the key and Skyscanner. You will be amaze on how you can country hop for less than $50 when you are over the other side. Sometimes when your flexible international will be cheaper than flying domestic. I went to Europe $400 rountrip. Once I was there flew into France the next Day for very cheap!!

It will notify you when the fares drop to that destination. I use it all the time for international and domestic travel. You had a good point in telling your audience that you have to be flexible in order to get the good prices.

You may have noticed that gazillion young pretty boys and girls have their vlogs on you tube and talk about all the fun times they have.
