Budget Mistakes to Avoid
Filed in archive Tips and Tricks on April 30, 2009
Mark Kahler had a good post recently on mistakes people make when they're trying to travel cheap. His first tip highlights one of the most common mistakes budget travels make.

Mark Kahler's topic on Budget Mistakes to Avoid, is right on. Any reputable travel agency should tell you the same though often they do not. It really is up to you to find the best deals and read those reviews to get first hand info.

It is sad how because a place is cheap it can be cheap. What about a nice place for less? Do the cheap places have to be so gross, unsafe and unhealthy?
