replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO Yes! Wine's fault LOL. But I think it will be good for me to learn how to save some money when travelling, that's a smart move. :) #InspireToWander

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO Q4 #InspiretoWander A great way to save money is with a credit card with points. Some hotels will take a AAA discount. If you talk to someone on the phone instead of booking online, sometimes you can get a better deal.

replying to @NYCapricorn @NYCapricorn @IBBtravel Yeah, it all depends! I imagine that a homestay would be similar to a B&B where you would chat with the home owner. Advantage being that they could show you around town or help you with your trip. But totally understand if you want more privacy! #InspireToWander

replying to @IBBtravel @IBBtravel @inspiretowander A3: hopefully this doesn’t double post. An @Airbnb in Paris, where the curtains fell while I was showering and the patrons at the Louvre got more than they paid for! Then bed bugs! It was the Airbnb from hell! #inspiretowander

replying to @StuartMHurlbut @JustinLaurenXO #inspiretowander A5 Another unique place was an old Madrassa in Khiva, Uzbekistan. The building behind the blue tiled tower in this picture is the Madrassa which has been turned into a hotel which I stayed in.

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO That's it exactly. And I've never gone back to that hostel. But the interesting part was that all three guys in that room were kicked out the same day I left. Hmmmmm I think someone might've listened to me talking over breakfast. #InspireToWander

A4- It's not the best idea, but you can catch some good deals by waiting until the last minute to book a room. Especially if there is an event nearby and they jack the prices way up. When they realize no one is going to book them, prices drop. #InspireToWander #travelingsession
