Ways to Save up Travel Money
The third step of preparation is firguring out how to save up for your next trip. Below is a list of some ideas on how to save up money other than working. This list will especially help if you are a student or a young person:
- Piggy Bank-Those extra pennies you save up can pay for one meal on your travel, or maybe even for something more(if you earn alot more money!!). Save up spare change you find around the house.
- Interning-While interning itself does not pay, you can intern anywhere you choose (and it's hard for anyone to say no, when you are asking to work for free!). Afterwards go to the Work department of your college. this department has programs that if you do interning they pay you for your time (usually $7-10/ hour all you have to is hand in your time sheets by a certain date and they pay you!
- Baby Sitting-if you know someone with children, ask them. Parents believe or not, would like some time off from parenting all the time, and you can start off cheap ($4/hour at first perhaps).
- Tutoring-Colleges tend to need studnet tutors for other students. Evey one needs help with math, and you don't have to be an expert, if you learned it already and know it, than try it.(** Benefits of attending a College is that their are money oppurtunities everywhere, trust me. Even if it seems tidious, keep looking around your campus, you'll find something that works for you.)
- Dog Walking-If you like dogs, decide to walk dogs on your free time. Put up signs around your neighborhoods, and put your number. This way people will come to you ;) and you spend time with dogs, and you will get some exercise!
- On Campus Employment/Work Studies-Colleges offer employment for their students. If you are interesting in Work Studies there are two different types: One type pays for only your college tuition, the second type what you do with the money is up to you .
- Yard Sale-Put together al lthe thigns you can live iwthout and dont want and plan a yard sale, it beats throwing your old stuff in the garbage.
- Bake Sale-You can choose to do it at your house or find someplace you will be bale to do it, if you are interested.
- Fund Raiser Letter- You can send letters to all your families, friends, and colleagues, those you know who are willing to help you. Send a letter of why you are doing this and help them feel involved. If desired, you can buy whole-sale little pins or items to put along with the letter. A small item pertaining to place you want to visit (i.e. Italy pins, Greece pictures, etc.). Or you can thank them by sending a lovely thank you letter back
These are some ideas to get you started, if you break down how much money you plan to make a month that can help you in the long run, for by the time your trip comes you are prepared.
