I was randomly clicking links and somehow I ended up on eHow. The site had a make-over. It still has a minimalistic design but I kinda like it.

For those who are not aware, eHow is a database of over 35,000 articles on the HOWs of whatever it is that you need to learn to do.

Anyway, I found some interesting articles (I actually browsed through the whole "budget travel" search result) on budget travel which you might want to check out yourself:

How to Plan a Trip. It may seem pointless and obvious to some but, believe me, some really need a list such as this to help guide them and make sure that nothing - say, travel insurance - is forgotten.

How to Take a Road Trip Across the United States.

How to Choose a Travelling Companion. It's always cheaper to have someone to share costs with. And you definitely do not need anyone... you need someone who fit a certain criteria. This should help you in your search.

How to Use Traveler's Checks.

They have specific guides, as well. If you need to know something in detail about certain destinations, check out eHow. You might just find something which could help you on your next trip.
