Q4 How do you balance time and money needed for regular travel? What tips do you have to get good deals or make the most of your free time?

A4 #pttravel Read the papers, magazines and every brochure that comes through your letter box. Prioritise! Do you really want to go to Costa Rica? Can the new kitchen unit wait another year? (it's been waiting over 10 years now! 😀)

A4 Time is my biggest thing. I work long hours and work is intense. I therefore try to get an evening flight straight after work so I can get a proper night's sleep in destination and start a new day ready to explore #PTTravel

A4 - I’m sitting on a fourteen-year-old sofa wearing a shirt I got for $3. I live (relatively) cheaply so that I can travel more! We can’t have everything, right? 😉 #PTTravel

Time, that's the tricky bit. Clever use of bank holidays (especially around Easter) helps.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A4 What is balance? 😳 I put £100/mth away for travel (clearly tht pot has been quite untouched this yr) I kinda aim for 1 big long trip a yr of 2-3wks then lots of long wknds around bank hols. Thts the pattern I think I have in my head but its been skewed somewhat lol #pttravel

A4 #pttravel You can save money with loyalty programs, I belong to several. Don’t just check 3rd party apps for rates, check airline & hotel websites for cheaper rates. Also there are places that are inexpensive to visit like Vietnam, you will get your money’s worth.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A4. There's savings you can make if you're planning to make travel a priority. And setting goals to help your focus, where you want to go, when, what you want to see. #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A4 I let my wife plan everything, she is far far better at it than me, and actually really enjoys in.

Money wise, we use a Credit Union for the "big" ones, and just save for little ones.
