1. Travel in the off-season. For the kids, this may mean not attending school for a few days. But you can always work it out with the school. You can have the kids do some homework while on vacation or write a report. You can try a fall vacation and in the process get to see some fall foliage which can be a breathtaking view.
2. Camp out. Vacations do not always mean staying in some expensive hotel. For a change, you can try camping out. There are places that allow camping on beaches which is like hitting two birds in one stone. Yes, you will still be paying a fee but it is way lower than the accommodation expenses that hotels will charge you. There are many comfortable camping gears that are available in the market today.
3. Travel with a group. If you are travelling by yourself, you can save some precious bucks by travelling with a tour group. So if you do not have problems travelling with others, one way to save some money is by going on a group travel.
4. Rent a house or apartment. This is a great option if you plan to travel for a long time. There will be no room service in a rental house, cottage, or apartment but the important thing is that you can get a lot of savings by staying in these places instead of a hotel.
5. Rent a beach house with family or friends. This gives you an opportunity to commune with nature and temporarily forget about work-related stress. You can doze yourself off to sleep with the sound of the ocean, take a walk on the beach, set-up a bonfire, among others. You will not run out of restaurants to eat on as there are many of them along the beach.
Getting that much needed vacation is still possible even if you are working on a tight budget. Just follow these inexpensive vacation ideas and you will be off to a tropical paradise somewhere in the Pacific.
