Currently on SkyScanner, I could fly from Newark Airport to Dublin, Ireland for $513 in December……

2: Keep the Weather App loaded with places all over the world

Click, click, click, click

6: Publish really whiney blog posts about how bad they miss this one place from that one time

Yep, this has happened multiple times. Oops…

7: Chose a super cheap lunch or dinner sometimes because saving that $$$ would go better in the “Travel Money Piggy Bank”

“But I’m so close to having enough….”

8: Ask for money for Christmas, birthdays, and any other gift receiving holiday purely because money for plane tickets is more logical than money for anything else

“Do you want something for Christmas or money?” – my Aunt. “Money. Def.” – Me

9: Remminece about previous trips

  5. Number 1 and 2 is SO me! I do it every day, unless I have trips lined up for the next few months. A favourite pastime of mine is also googling “where to go in [insert month]” and whatever I like seeing I’ll research more and copy text and images into OneNote. This way I have a neat file with travel suggestions 🙂
