💦Your sign to go book some villa fun with your besties😆

😮Would you believe me if I told you I found this villa 4 hours before landing in Marbella.

🙈I realised on THE DAY of flying that what we had originally booked was a scam.

🤭 When I first realised I text my pal and we were both just laughing about it all, like “OF COURSE, it’s a scam, why wouldn’t it be” as the day went on the stress began to creep in 😅

📞After some calls to @airbnb, and by some strOke of luck, I managed to find this little gem. I called the host directly (to make sure we didn’t get stung again 🐝) and then it was ours.

💰We even got this cheaper than the original thanks to an apology discount voucher from Airbnb.

So thankfully it all worked out in the end 😎😅✌🏽

Have you had any travel mishaps like this?

☀️It’s the first holiday I’ve been on in a while where I’ve done nothing but relax. No hiking or hours of exploring involved (obviously it’s my favourite thing to do) but it was nice to just chill, and and drink with my best pals. 👯‍♀️

What do you prefer… relaxing or exploring? 😴🧗🏼‍♀️

💰Here are my top tips on how to travel often but keep the costs down.

💙Be more flexible with you destinations and go to places that have the cheapest flights. ⬇️

My top tip for finding these is head to @skyscanner add in the dates you want to go and type in “EVERYWHERE” in to the destination box. @skyscanner will bring up the cheapest flights in ascending order.

💙Use deal finding apps like @jacksflightclub @travelzoo_uk @secretescapes @holidaypirates @voyageprive_uk to find deals on flights, hotels and holidays.

💙Avoid paying for checked luggage where possible. Try the clothes rolling technique, you’ll be surprised at how much you can fit in your hand luggage by doing this.

💙Don’t splash out on fancy hotels if you don’t plan on being in the hotel much. This for example could be on a city break, chances are you will spend most of the day exploring and use your hotel litterally to sleep and shower.

💙 If you are solo travelling, stay in a hostel. Meet people that you can do activities with , which can also help share/spread and cut costs.

💙 Get on to Google and find out the best free things to do at your destination.

💙Try to cook some meals where you can. I know part of travel is trying out new foods but if you are doing it often cooking one or two meals is a great way of cutting costs. Alternatively book accommodation that offers free breakfast as part of their package.

💙 Walk as much as you can to cut down on transport costs.

💙Alternatively if walking isn’t an option and you’re in a city, buy their local travel transport card (eg Oyster card for London). I’ve found that a lot of European cities have super cheap train/tram/bus costs and are even cheaper with one of these cards.

💙Rent a car. Renting a car can be sometimes miles cheaper than going on a package tour or excursion. Sometimes this isn’t the case but do your research first to see what’s your best option

TRAVEL OFTEN AROUND YOUR 9-5⬇️

🟠 Obvious choice but make use of the weekends. Fly out on Friday night and home Sunday evening. Really good to squeeze in a mini city break.

🟠 For longer holidays use the same method as above. Fly out on a Friday night and home the following Sunday. You can get almost 9 days away and only have to take 5 days off work.

🟠 Make use of your bank holidays. Tag on an extra day off around a bank holiday. For example around the Easter break.

🟠If you are flying on weekdays fly out late evening and fly home early morning so you don’t have to take those flying days off work.

🟠 Work from your holiday. Commit to working one or two mornings whilst you are away. This can help in saving up a few half days when you get to the end of the year. However this is probably not worth it on shorter trips

🟠 If you are able to travel with work. Make a holiday out of that by tagging on a few days holiday after the work trip is over.
