When your wanderlust exceeds your bank balance, consider these tips to help make travel more accessible:

• Travel during shoulder season. It’s not as expensive as high season nor with the dismal weather and limited site access of low season.
• Use an air miles rewards program to help offset some of the cost of flights and accommodations.
• Hostels and shared accommodation are cheaper than hotels.
• Hit as many stops as possible in one trip. One plane ticket to see Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Thailand are cheaper than four separate plane tickets.

Happy travelling wherever it takes you!
