Travel Tip Tuesday: Monthly Budget

I start planning for a trip months in advance. This gives me a concrete holiday to look forward to and allows us to spread out the cost.

For example, I purchase the plane tickets one month, accommodation the next and items needed for travel the next. You don't quite feel the weight of it that way.

Of course, if you are disciplined you could just save money over a period of months and purchase everything at once. But this is more realistic for me!
