A6 #InspireToWander I live fairly frugal, so it's not hard to have the money. I do agree charge everything to a credit card that gives you points back so you can use those points later. You just have to watch your spending so you don't carry balances.

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO A6 #InspiretoWander By not investing in shorter, domestic flights out of impulse. 😂 Don't get me wrong, we planned the heck out of the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone and it was WONDERFUL, but if I had a dollar for every time I wanted to impulsively road trip.

replying to @jay_eatz @jay_eatz @inspiretowander We also sometimes think in terms of “XX number of extra freelance jobs/work equals one trip” and work towards that goal! Helps give motivation to the hustle when you know what the tangible reward will be! #InspireToWander
replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO A6 Several years ago I set up a savings account especially for travel. I can even choose to have a certain amount sent to it weekly, monthly, etc. I don’t feel the difference and before I know it, I’ve reached my goal. #InspireToWander
replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO A6 Once I decided to collect experiences vs physical objects I’ve pretty much cut back on 🛍 shopping for non essentials. #InspireToWander
A7 #InspireToWander Oh, I've done staycations and they were anything but. Projects at home.
replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO Working from home is a fantastic way to save money! We cut our cable a year ago, too! Haven't even thought twice about it. #InspireToWander

A7: We often staycation over the Christmas holiday which is the most expensive time of year to travel #inspiretowander

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO A7 #InspiretoWander Staycations are lovely! I went down to Colorado Springs to shoot the full day and I've gotta hit @RockyNPS soon. Sometimes staying close to home is the most rewarding choice you could have made. 💞

replying to @KaraDiDomizio @KaraDiDomizio @inspiretowander @Delta I just joined Skymiles because I can accrue miles on the YVR-Mexico City flight, and Delta is great out of Seattle. #InspireToWander @Delta @inspiretowander
A7: Not as many staycations, although D.C. has some many great destinations in a 2-3 hour radius that we love - Charlottesville, Rehoboth, @ShenandoahNPS - those basically count as staycations, right?! #InspireToWander
replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO A7. I did it two years ago while living in #Barcelona. I remember it was August and I don't know what happen to me, I didn't want to travel so I prepare like a tour in the city and found out things I didn't knew before. I had fun, also realize I save some money🤭#InspireToWander
replying to @Polymathically @JustinLaurenXO Also gave up video gaming (along w/ my freelance reviewing career) when I realized it was a hollow pursuit. Most people think I'm old fashioned/ just plain crazy. Maybe I am. But it lets me focus on books, travel, & other interests without distractions or guilt. #InspireToWander

@inspiretowander A7: My most recent staycation was spent moving. 👎🏼
It was a nice break from work (my phone broke and we didn’t have internet during the move, so it was really easy to stay disconnected), but not so much fun—moving is exhausting! #InspireToWander
replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander April of last year on #RecordStoreDay we went up to Bloomington and srayed in Walnut Street Inn which is a locally owned place in downtown. It was only an hour and a half each way, and it was relaxing with good restaurants and things to discover. #InspiretoWander

Really smart advice! We started small with a similar idea, just setting aside $20 a week to build up for our first big trip together. Doing it as an auto-save is so smart! #InspireToWander https://t.co/sObVUFy9ho
A7: Love a good #staycation. We’ve stayed at the @21cHotels in Louisville (and nearby cities) because the hotel is just so dang cool! These funky penguins come hang out with you 🐧 #inspiretowander

replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander A7 I find it adds up really quick to travel close by with the price of accommodations and food, in 🇨🇦you can do a week all inclusive in Cuba on a good week for the same price as a weekend in T. #InspiretoWander
replying to @ClaireFromYVR @ClaireFromYVR @inspiretowander @Delta It is a good program! They have a lot of extra ways to earn miles by doing stuff like ride sharing, linking account with certain merchants. Delta Skymiles is the only one between Delta, American Airlines, United that doesn’t have your miles expire either! #InspireToWander

replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander Staycations in Summer in Vancouver are the best time of year! A7 Enjoy the city! #InspireToWander
#inspiretowander A 7) We did a Staycation the year we bought our house. We did a literary themed week in Philadelphia. We visited the Edgar Allan Poe House, The Rare Book Department, and The Rosenbach Museum. We also planned it during restaurant week so we got deals on dinner

A7- I live in Florida about 10 minutes from the beach, so I'm pretty much always on a staycation #InspireToWander #travelingsession
replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander A8) Booked a flight for less than $500 for two people all together from regional airport in Indiana to Madrid, Spain theee weeks before flying. It was a combo of Delta Skymiles and flight monitoring on @hopper. One stop in Atlanta each way. #InspiretoWander
replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO A8. I have never had this experience. :( #InspireToWander
replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO A7: I'm lucky enough to live in California, so there's no shortage of national and state parks to visit on a weekend trip. Yosemite, Lassen, Redwoods, Muir Woods, Pinnacles, Marin County, Mount Diablo, Mount Tamalpais, Monterey, etc. #InspireToWander
replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO It is so much fun! And each 21C hotel has a different color penguin. Yellow in Cincinnati, Red in Louisville, Blue in Lexington, etc. It's so cool! #InspireToWander
replying to @Polymathically @Polymathically @JustinLaurenXO You must be fun at parties Justin 😂 JK - if more young people had your discipline and instead put this saved / unspent money in dividend producing investments - folks would feel much more financially secure later in life - to do things like travel! #inspiretowander
A8: Since we live in a city with a small airport last minute travel deals are rare. We usually have to book at least a few weeks out to get a decent deal. #inspiretowander
replying to @obligatraveler @obligatraveler That sounds like a great vacation right in your own backyard! #InspireToWander
replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander Don’t walk past Starbucks every day! When I do cheat, I bank the rewards and put them in my ‘travel’ jar. 😎#inspiretowander
