Travel professional Alex Waltner runs one of Sweden's largest travel blogs and has traveled around the world on a cheap penny.
In the clip above, he talks about the shortcuts that maybe not everyone knows, to travel smarter.
More tips that may be worth trying:
• Look for early-bird discounts if you already know what dates to travel.
Booking two one-way trips instead of round trips can sometimes be a cheaper option.
• Talk to the flight attendants, they often have a lot of information and know which places are best to eat and drink.
• Read conditions, such as baggage rules, to avoid unnecessary expenses.
• Pack smart and avoid extra costs for luggage.
Roll up your clothes, or use packing bags.
A luggage scale can also be good to bring.
If you travel outside the EU, buy a local SIM card with data to have access to the internet.
Download maps for offline mode.
• Do not forget to claim VAT back if you buy something abroad that is approved as tax-free.
• Bring a water bottle with a built-in filter on the go, and save both the environment and your money.
