Travel on a Shoestring
Nothing can stop that adventurous soul of yours from travelling. Not even the fact that you can barely afford to travel due to the rising cost of airfares (think fuel surcharges and all the other surcharges airlines seem to be coming up with) and accommodations could halt you from making that travel plans.

Sure, there are lots of options available to budget travellers -- from no-frills airlines to dormitories found all over the world.

But, apart from that, there are other ways to travel on a shoestring that is even cheaper than those options. You just need to be very flexible with your schedule AND be adventurous. You can...

Save on accommodation expenses by Couch Surfing. It's basically an online networking site with more than 60,000 members who are open to hosting people in their homes and letting them stay in their couches. Check out this page for the details.

Save on transportation expenses by travelling as an Air Courier. You get a greatly discounted ticket, if you agree to be a courier by bringing a package or a document to a certain destination. Check the details here.

Now, aren't those prospects interesting? Check those sites out and decide where you will be travelling on a shoestring next.
