Solo travel comes with a long list of benefits, but it doesn’t always come cheap. Sharing accommodation costs is not an option when you’re traveling on your own, but we’re here to help you lower your expenses and find a budget-friendly place to stay.
Consider Hostels
Hostels are solo traveler’s best friends, and if you still haven’t given them a shot, now’s the time. They’re the cheapest accommodation option on the market because they offer dorms that you’ll be sharing with other solo travelers.
Advance Booking
The longer you wait to book your accommodation, the harder it will be to find a cheap place to stay. Explore your options in advance to secure the most affordable deal.
Free Accommodation Options
If your budget is extremely tight it’s also worth exploring free accommodation options, such as Couchsurfing, which involves being hosted by locals, and Workaway, where you can exchange volunteering work for a place to stay.
Perfect Timing
The time when you hit the road makes all the difference when looking for cheap accommodation. Prices tend to vary from month to month and they’re higher on the weekends, so make sure to travel off-season and stay flexible with your plans to find the cheapest offers possible.
