Another way to visit more places is to make the most of your layovers, which is exactly what I did with my Peru trip. My flight already included a layover in Panamá City, Panama and then I found that I could add a stopover (up to 72 hours or so) at no extra cost. 2 countries for the price of 1? Sign me up, please!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This was exactly what I did to see Dubai because Emirates Airlines does a similar thing. Even though I may have to pay for accommodation at my stopover destination, it ends up being much cheaper and less stressful in the long run.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you take advantage of your layovers too?

"Follow the deals."
This is my current travel mantra and what led me to Lima, Peru. It wasn't on my radar (at least not for this year) but I saw a wonderful deal and decided to book that trip! And let's just say that I regret nothing.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I didn't even need to take time off work for this trip (I know time off is another major barrier to travelling) because I used my current (Covid) remote work situation to my advantage - working during the day (virtual backgrounds for the win!) and exploring in evenings and on the weekends.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So tell me, do you have a travel destination in mind now or are you open to the deals like me?

When Ayo Omole MD] approached me to plan his vacation, he didn't even know where he wanted to go yet. As a busy doctor, he knew he needed a break but didn't have the time to plan his trip. He told me he wanted somewhere in the U.S. with lots to do in nature, especially hiking, access to a hot tub (a tall order in Covid times) and, oh, it had to be someplace warm too (during what was practically winter).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With those guidelines, I got to work and sent him my recommendation of destinations within his budget. He settled on Las Vegas. I sent him some hotel options (with the hot tub 😅) and after he made his choice, I got to work on an itinerary that had all his preferences and some classic Vegas activities and top food recommendations.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thanks for trusting me, Ayo Omole MD] . I'm so glad I was able to make your well-deserved vacation everything you wanted.

I'll love to do the same for you whether or not you know exactly where you want to go yet. Go to cubetraveldesign.com to work with me.

Even while you're on your dream trip, you still want to make sure that you're maximizing your resources. Here are 5 of the things I do to get the most value:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Currency exchange at any airport is really a scam; the rates are bound to be unfavorable. I prefer to withdraw money from a local ATM or from my bank before going on the trip.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. In some countries, you may get the option to pay in the local currency or a common currency (e.g. USD or euro), ALWAYS choose the local currency (for cash & card transactions) because, similar to 1., the exchange rate you'd get by paying in international currency will be worse.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. By eating where locals eat, you not only learn about the culture, you also spend less on food. I've found that food establishments catered to tourists are usually more expensive. I may eat 1 or 2 "fancy" meals on a trip but I try to seek out local establishments.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4. I try to have an idea of how much things cost before and during my trip so I don't get scammed. For example, it helps me to know how much a taxi should cost from the airport to my accommodation so I can negotiate if needed.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
5. This one you'd have to do before your trip but travel insurance has come in handy to save me money when unforseen things happened during my trip. So even though it can be an additional expense, I'm still a huge proponent.

A few months ago, I asked people to tell me about their biggest obstacle to travelling as much as they would like, and, unsurprisingly, the overwhelming answer was "money." That is exactly why I wrote this guide!
