Most of the money on a trip goes on three things: getting there, sleeping and eating out. Small changes to each add up quickly.

## Getting there

Book flights on a weekday, fly into smaller airports and use night trains when they replace a night of accommodation.

## Where to stay

Stay a week in one place instead of moving every two days. Weekly rates are often a third cheaper, and you save on transport too.

## What I would do differently

I would track expenses from day one. You cannot cut what you do not see.

Prices in this guide are what I paid. They move every season, so use them as a rough guide.
