Travel very light: You need 15 days clothes for a 6 month trip. You can always buy what you need.
We are not travelling light hence the tip!
Budget for every country: You can exhaust all your savings in the first few days if you are not careful. Setting up a budget for every country, every week, every day is a must. You need to keep reminding yourself not to cross the limit and to take control of your expenses.
Bargain: You can bargain for anything! I read somewhere that Indians are the best at bargaining. We got some fancy deals because of our negotiating skills on the following:
1) Hotels
2) Snorkelling trip
3) Guide to Mount Batur- an active volcano
4) Eating places
We will update these tips as and when we proceed with our trip!
ReplyDeleteMay I add, you have a special skill in bargaining...both of you by the way ;-)
