Smart Travel Hacks For Budget-Friendly Holidays
Many people assume that those who travel often have a lot of money to spare but that isn’t always the case. There are many travelers who made do with a shoestring budget and still manage to get the most of their destination because they plan well in advance. In this age of the internet, all the information you need to help plan a good trip is right at your fingertips but in order to make the most of your travel budget, you may need to look a little deeper. However, it can get taxing to scour through countless articles and videos to find the right advice. And so, we did all the hard work for you. Here are some useful tips that will help you plan a memorable trip that won’t make a hole in your bank balance.

Grab Off-Peak Deals

Yes, it is true that every country has a peak season when the weather is great and is swarming with people but if you want to save money then you should travel during the off-peak season. Many hotels offer discounted rates and you get more choices as fewer travelers will be competing for rooms. Offpeak season is usually the rainy season, so check the weather update of the destination and pick a time to travel when there are more possibilities of light showers instead of heavy downpours. That way, you can still go out and do all the things you wanted to do, while enjoying the rain. Take a risk and you may end up having a unique experience.

MUSINGS OF A SOLDIER: TIT-BITS

People often ask me about my life out of uniform. Honestly, I have had no problems. Not so far. Instead, I find it quite refreshing. No routine, no parades, no briefing, no impending operations. Having donned the uniform since the age of thirteen until I hung up my boots last year, could I ever visualize life out of uniform? Not really. But, as I said, the transition has been quite smooth–no hang-overs, no regrets. People have been very positive in their interactions. Government departments have been responsive whenever I have approached for assistance.The genuine respect for the uniform is quite evident and it makes my heart swell with pride. Arunachal, to that extent, is the most nationalistic state in the country, I daresay. It has been kind of a revelation for me to experience the freedom of being a common man in an environment of positivity!
