Get a job with an airline (even part time), that is the cheapest way to travel. Any job with an airline comes with free standby travel benefits. You can travel anywhere in the world even in business class for virtually nothing. Also, it's actually not smart to buy tickets from third party websites. If you buy a ticket from Skyscanner, Orbitz or whatnot, if there are issues with your flight, the airline will NOT help you because your ticket is held by the third party company, not the airline. It will be up to the third party company to find you accommodations and assistance (good luck with that).
@@observer698 if your flight is cheaper now than when you bought it, you can either cancel and take the credit and rebook or “change flight” to another one that is the same price as the new proce, so you get the credit. Then “change flight” back to the original flight. That’s the method I did, even chose my same seat because it only takes minutes. Hope that makes sense.
I love her and I love her channel and advice, however, when I was 25 my dream was to travel. I had never been anywhere and just landed my first teaching job. An older retired teacher told me to put my trip on my credit card. He said, if you don’t do it, you’ll probably never go anywhere. I’m so grateful for that advice. When I save for a trip. I save some money in advance and I put the rest of it on my credit card and then I pay it off within six months often times even less than that. if you try to save enough for an entire trip, something will always come up and you’ll probably never go.
Just came back from Hawaii. Hotel and flights were free (but have to pay taxes and resort fees) using credit card points. Can't complain tho, hotels and flights would have been over $5700. I only pay a few hundred.
🔥🔥🔥 Awesome please 🙏🏿 share what credit card you used to accumulate those points and how long did it take you we have a similar trip planned Thanks Aloha
Did an air france discounted upgrade at check-in from economy to premium economy; the seats were noticeably wider but not much else. Food was the same although someone said that they might upgrade it. Anyways, I got priority boarding and increased luggage allowance all the way to my final destination despite only upgrading one segment. If you need a wider seat, more bags or priority security/boarding than it might be worth it.
I think premium economy is worth it when it comes to long trips, when I flew to Europe for a month it made sure my luggage had a priority tag and got where it needed to go, and having the option to board first or last is very helpful. I had to check in a bag so I appreciated not having to worry about it getting lost. That should come with any ticket, but unfortunately that's not the world we live in lol.
I am studying abroad in France and trying to plan a trip for my grandparents to come out and do about a 2 week loop starting from Lyon, visiting the south of France, Italian riviera and the Alps. I am trying to book hotels with points I have been saving up for this. My grandparents are so excited and my Nana said she always wanted to visit Europe and thought they never would get the chance. Unfortunately the flights for end of June are insane, and they of course are not comfortable with multiple layovers as they do not fly often, so flights with 1 stop or less are even worse. I am trying to plan everything but it is adding up quickly.
Hey bestie!! Can you please share some financial tips and perks on wedding hacks/funds/honeymoon? I just got engaged last month and would love to see a financial guide for young newly engaged couples working on credit/other life milestones.
I have questions about the VPN thing. How are you supposed to know which states/provinces, countries to change your VPN to, to get the cheaper ticket???
The part of traveling that is too costly are the hotels. I’m tired of spending $500 on flights, $500 on food and fun, but $1000 on a hotel. I’m starting to wonder if I should look into seedy motels for a bargain. I agree about Airbnb, not worth it.
Try a loyalty hotel credit card. I got IHG $100 annual fee and get one free night as well as $100 United Credit in $50 installment every 6 months and a 175k point bonus that I mostly blew on the so-so 4 star in Montreal lol.
I’m curious about the tip “do not get an Airbnb” because I always get called out by my friends for getting a hotel instead. Personally, I just prefer a hotel stay and the service, but my friends often tell me I’m “wasting money” by not choosing an airbnb option. Can anyone help me out by explaining this one?
It's subjective, but I've heard bad things about Air B&B if a hotel works for you, use it. Don't let people try to peer pressure you into doing something you don't like.
They're probably comparing the hotel rate to the rate Air Bnb shows when looking through their availabilities, but once you go to check out they add a million fees. These days, unless you're staying somewhere for a while it's almost always cheaper to get a hotel, and you don't have to clean even though you already paid a cleaning fee
It’s honestly sometimes worthwhile to travel and spend money it’s the experience plus even going places locally and getting essentials can be expensive Oy vey
I disagree, travel is the ONLY thing I’m willing to go into debt for. Okay NOT thousands of Dollars but if I want a weekend trip every 6 months and can’t afford it, I’m taking it. Period. Life is too short to stay stationary.
@@fs5775 actually I don’t. My house is paid off, I have about $300k in 401k and saving. I’m 47 and have 2 kids. Now saving money for their college education
Don't let these weirdos talk down to you. I don't travel for leisure either. I genuinely love exploring where I live and staycationing and saving money. People idolize travel and go broke for appearances on SM.
Like the content, but if you're already RICH why plug SoFi or any other advertiser on your video. Does speaking in front of a camera and uploading it to YT really cost that much money? Why not avoid the appearance of bias and give your viewers a list of HYSA banks?

Yeah, been there when I went to Cali a few years back. The hassle, the time, and frustration was not worth the $160 I saved with the third party.
I did the Delta ticket change hack just now after watching the video, got $100 in credit!
I didn't get the hack. She said get another ticket from the same flight? and then what? ask for a return from the other one, cancel it?

Love ❤️ Great video. Could you please advise some cruise saving tips for next your video?
Buying my Volvo through the ODP is literally on my bucket list. Super safe family car AND a vacay built in.

I was thinking the same thing? If maybe someone have tried this before can share it here in the comments. 😊
She said try a few different countries. Maybe something closer to your destination?
I did the hack w delta when the prices dropped and got the ecredits. I had to msg a representative but they were happy to help!

look into hotel credit cards
Try a loyalty hotel credit card. I got IHG $100 annual fee and get one free night as well as $100 United Credit in $50 installment every 6 months and a 175k point bonus that I mostly blew on the so-so 4 star in Montreal lol.
There’s is a website for house exchange, I think that’s a good option
Exactly!
Hostels are pretty good and usually have 1 bedroom rooms!
Where is the Sofi link ?
Now THIS video was full of great trips for everyone. Thanks❣️❣️❣️
Thank you.
good stuff Vivian, great hacks and pretty much no youtuber has ever mentioned these.
I really like your content. I am determined to get out of middle class lifestyle. I am surrounded by friends who were born rich, Y
Does united airlines do the travel credit for fee drops too ?
I live in an American Airlines hub city and flights are ridiculously overpriced 😢
Thank you

Hi! Where did you buy your earrings?
I’m curious about the tip “do not get an Airbnb” because I always get called out by my friends for getting a hotel instead. Personally, I just prefer a hotel stay and the service, but my friends often tell me I’m “wasting money” by not choosing an airbnb option. Can anyone help me out by explaining this one?
It's subjective, but I've heard bad things about Air B&B if a hotel works for you, use it. Don't let people try to peer pressure you into doing something you don't like.
Airbnb used to be cheaper, now it can cost more than hotel.
It’s really about preference and how you want to travel. I love the feeling of being in a home and having full access to a kitchen with AIRBNBS.
They're probably comparing the hotel rate to the rate Air Bnb shows when looking through their availabilities, but once you go to check out they add a million fees. These days, unless you're staying somewhere for a while it's almost always cheaper to get a hotel, and you don't have to clean even though you already paid a cleaning fee

Why not save up for it and then go?
terrible idea
Exactly, traveling is healthy and helps you mentally, physically and emotionally.
Doesn’t mean you need to go into debt.
No offense but this might be why you're still broke 😭
Lounges in the US are lousy, overcrowded and ghetto - not worth it

I save thousands by not traveling
That’s pretty sad.
and you have a very boring life that no one envies
