Q2 Which parts of a trip do you slurge on and which do you go without or take cheaper options and why?

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #pttravel a2: i tend to spend less on accommodation. Because all I need is a bed; I'm likely to be out-and-about so don't need fancy extras like a restaurant or gym etc. Even a private bathroom isn't necessary.

I splurge on beer. Apparently.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2: We splurge on food and drink for 1 meal of the day, but skip breakfast and self cater for other meals. Cafes, bars and restaurants, and people-watching are what we enjoy while travelling (and in life). so that's where our money goes! #PTTravel

A2 #PTTravel I don't scrimp on food or accommodation.
Maybe scope out cheaper means of getting there, if it isn't too far away.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #pttravel a2: actually, I'm more likely to splurge on 'experiences'. Which is why I'm there, largely.

I'm also less likely to splurge on travel. Although my close friend has now banned me from taking the overnight megabuses between Glasgow and London.

A2 #pttravel I’ll usually go frugal on hotel rooms since I only need it to sleep & wi fi. If I splurge, it will probably be on the experience itself. I may hire a day tour to make things easier for me. I do have one morning tour lined up in Barcelona next week.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2. If I can take the budget option for travel + accommodation I will, then spend on a nice meal or experience. I made a vagabond trip to the Isle of Wight, walking the coast, swimming in the sea + wild camping, but eating in lovely restaurants with my savings #PTTravel

A2: I usually splurge on food. I am a big foodie and I love to try the local dishes. I would compromise on hotels, I am not fusses on where I sleep as long as there is a bed and a clean private bathroom. #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2. I’m pretty frugal. I avoid taxis and restaurants and posh hotels, but will always stop for coffee and cake. #PTTravel

A2. Daytrips with local tour companies to places it's not possible to get to with public transport (this applies a lot in South America).

A2 I like to have my own room so no hostels now. I will do cheap/budget flights. I tend to spend more on experiences and happy with that
