Planning a vacation? Want to know how to make your vacation fun? Check out these 8 Tips!
If you are going to plan a vacation to a faraway place, at least six months or a year in advance you have to start searching for information about airplane ticket promos. How to? You can try to subscribe to the newsletter of the airline you want. Or you can also follow their social media accounts, such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Usually, this discount only applies according to the availability of aircraft seats.
Were you ever imagined going on an adventurous journey, like exploring a place on a motorbike? Or try to take public transportation in the city where you are on vacation? If you have an adventurous spirit and want a budget vacation, why not take a backpacker-style vacation?

Maybe there are still many of you who don't realize that the ticket prices for trains, buses, or planes that depart at night are usually cheaper. So, if you consistently want to save money, what's wrong with traveling at night? Another plus, you can sleep during the trip, and this can reduce the risk of motion sickness.
The hotel does offer a very comfortable place to stay with a myriad of facilities. However, there is a fairly high price that must be paid to be able to get and enjoy all these facilities. The cheapest hotel stay rate is around IDR 300,000 per night. Are you sure you want to spend a lot of money just to stay? Why not choose to stay at a hostel, homestay inn, or guest house? The rates for staying at the four types of lodging are usually cheaper. Some even set a price of only IDR 50,000 per night. Indeed, there are not many facilities offered. But if with these rates you can sleep well, and rest comfortably, why not?
Make a note every time you spend money. For example, if you just bought food, don't forget to record the money you spent to buy the food. Other things that must also be noted include the cost of taking public transportation, the cost of staying overnight, renting a vehicle, and other small things that should not be missed from your notes.
The thing most often do when traveling on vacation is to buy food. Especially if the destination you are visiting is a culinary paradise. It's like I don't want to stop eating. It's a shame if you've gone all the way but the food is still easy to find where you live. Eating at fast food restaurants also usually has to spend around IDR 30,000 to IDR 50,000 for one meal. It's a pity, isn't it? Then what should be eaten?

Try not to use a taxi when you are on vacation, including when you are leaving the station or airport. If you want to explore your destination, you can definitely get cheaper alternative transportation or use a multi-purpose electronic card that can be used to pay for some types of public transportation and entrance tickets to tourist attractions.
This move is almost always effective in terms of shopping. Indeed, not everyone dares to do it, but if the price offered is still negotiable, why not try?
