Just because you're short on cash doesn't mean you can't see the world.

To complete this How-To you will need:

Patience to sniff out the best deals
Willingness to rough it
The ability to be flexible
Budget travel guidebook

Step 1: Use travel consolidators

Use travel consolidators, on- and offline. They snatch up empty airline seats and unsold cruise cabins and resell them at a great discount. Sign up to receive information on last minute deals.

Tip: Call hotels directly to see if you can negotiate a cheaper rate.

Step 2: Consider youth hostels

Consider youth hostels, especially in the more expensive cities around the world. You'll sacrifice privacy, but you'll save a bundle.

Tip: If you live in a popular travel destination, consider swapping homes with someone.

Step 3: Eat at street vendors

Rely on street food vendors for most of your meals.

Tip: If you like to eat out, make lunch your daily restaurant treat instead of dinner.

Step 4: Check student travel rates

Check out student rates on bus and rail passes.

Tip: Be a "voluntourist" in a country you'd like to visit. You'll get to explore a new culture while helping out the locals—and maybe even wrangle some school credit for the experience.

Step 5: Be flexible

Be flexible. Monday and Thursday departures are generally cheaper than weekend fares. And save a bundle by flying into a less popular city and then catching a train or driving to your desired destination.

Step 6: Vacation in off-season

Vacation in the off-season, when prices are cheaper and you don't have to fight the crowds.

This is getting me no where... And I dont even want to go on a proper holiday, call me a racist but I don't like visiting foreign countries, there are too many weird customs there... It's all alien to me sort of... And plus, the weather, I don't want to be killed by a hurricane or twister or something on my holiday... Yes I am paranoid... Deal with it...
