31 Days of Frugal Travel Tips: Day 20


20. Become your own travel guide: My husband is wonderful to travel with since he takes it upon himself to really become informed about wherever we are headed. He does a lot of research online and will print out things to take along. Every once in a while we might invest in a travel book (but this is NOT often). With a bit of research you can skip paying for things like audio guides or tours. As long as you can put in some time beforehand you can even create your own itinerary and guide yourself. Find out what the most important sights are and why they are famous. What is their history? Who or why were they created? If you are headed to a museum, visit its webpage before you leave to find out what are the gems of its collection. Print out a few blurbs to bring along and read as you see them to remind yourself. If you become your own travel guide you don't need to pay someone else for this service. You can take your own personalized guided tour which can be even better.
