  • Tips For World Travelers

    If you’ve ever thought about traveling the world, consider some of these tips before heading out along your way.


    HOSTEL CARDS    : There are huge hosteling networks that allow you to book online, leave feedback and enjoy cheap travel all over the world. Checking out places like hostelbookers, hosteling international and hostel world (along with some of the smaller retailers like mini-hostels) that will save you thousands of dollars during your trip. Yet, a way to save even more is by purchasing a member card from one of these retailers. You will be able to save 10% each night by only forking over US $10-$15 to start. Not only will you make your money back in just a few weeks, but you will save hundreds over the course of your trip.

    TICKETS: Also, around-the-world tickets have some regulations and won’t let you simply jet set from one city to the other without some restrictions, but it is a great way to save on airfare by purchasing your ticket all up front.

    Your around the world ticket from Australia trips, European vacations, island hopping in the Pacific or Brazilian hideaways is that much closer by taking note of FRUGALMONKEY’s travel tips.


  • Find Beauty, Nature and Adventure with South African Travel

    If you’re looking for vacations that involve activities in the sun, beautiful ocean views, the possibility of adventure and of course the lavishness of luxury, then look no further than vacations in South Africa. South Africa combines all the best elements of travel with the exoticness of another world. South African travel is also popular among travelers because parts of South Africa are far less touristy than vacations that take place on an overly traveled tropical island. Additionally, the scope of Cape Town, a favorite among South African travelers means that you can travel within South Africa cheaply by staying in hostels as opposed to luxury resorts. Yet, for those of you who relish in resort style living, South Africa has much in the way of luxury travel as well. Aside from accommodations check out whale watching, shark cage diving, scuba lessons and a world of underwater adventure with South African travel brought to you by FrugalMonkey.
