Ask Hawkins B.A. : Travel on a Dime

Ask Hawkins B.A.

Welcome again to the advice column where each week I answer questions on absolutely any topic. ANY TOPIC! Simply submit it via email or USPS, or submit it in the comments below. Carrier pigeons are no longer accepted.



This week's question comes from Jon in Iowa, who writes:

Hi, I was wanting to know if you had any tips for saving money while traveling. I'm going on a trip and boy is my budget tight! It won't budge! HaHaLOL!






Sure, I can think of a couple off the top of my head:

1. If you don't want to shell out money for a hotel, sleep in front of a movie theatre or sports venue, and pretend you're camping out for tickets.

2. If you are planning on taking a taxi from the airport to get home at the end of your trip, don't. Instead, take a free hotel shuttle to the hotel nearest your house, then take a taxi from there. Depending on where your house is, this could save you big bucks.
