#FeelTheChill
Our #FeelTheChill feature today is Haley, who decided to save money while traveling, ditched the hotels and found an alternative.
“My favourite new experience while traveling was in Greece. In order to travel more, we saved money on hotels by staying in hostels and even tents! One night my friends and I all slept on the beach (I would not recommend. Did you know the tide rises significantly in the morning?). We were able to do way more activities and try new food by doing this.”

Stay In Hostels Instead Of Hotels
Hostels are a great alternative for hotels. It will save you a ton of money – and if staying in the same room as other people isn’t your thing don’t worry. Hostels also provide private rooms that you can stay in with other shared amenities. Hostels are a great way to meet other travelers as well – there is usually a common space where everyone can meet up and it is a great way to get to know people. Hostels are becoming more and more popular around the world and they are an amazing way to get around and save money.
Try Couchsurfing
Couchsurfing can add a lot more value than any hotel can. Couchsurfing allows you to stay with locals and get to know the place you are visiting, unlike a tourist. You can stay at someones home for next to nothing compared to what you would pay at a hotel. This will save you a ton of money and give you a great experience. The whole point of couchsurfing is to actually get to know the host – and let them be your tour guide, friend, and home for your travels.
