How to Save Money and Keep a Budget When Traveling

Travel has an exhilarating effect on the human spirit. Reality feels charged with novelty. Simple things like sunsets, courteous people, and perfect margaritas take your breath away when you’re away from home and free of all your regular routines.

Unless you keep tabs of how much you’re spending, your chances of running out of cash when you travel are fairly high. That’s why it’s a good idea…
