Cheap travel destinations to visit in 2019


We went on so many trips in 2018 and we aren’t stopping anytime soon. Especially with our new travel hacking techniques and discovering cheap travel destinations for the new year.


So….


My parents gave us gift cards to Southwest Airlines for Christmas. I seriously love my family! That got me researching our trips for the year to get my creative, travel guide wheels turning.


I could use my new gift cards along with my points racked up from last year on my Sapphire Reserve Card for a free trip (with some left over).


In my research I found that you could fly to San Jose, Costa Rica from St. Louis, MO for as low as $199 each way if you book in the middle of the week in March and April.


Even if you don’t plan to fly there in those months you can still get cheap flights to Costa Rica. For the least expensive flights, book at least 2 months before your travel date.


Once you get there, Costa Rica can be more expensive than other Central American countries. However, I found that budget travelers can survive on $30 – $50 USD per day.


 


The “Land of Fire†isn’t the only cheap travel destination possibility though. There are TONS of countries you can travel to for cheap. Let’s discuss some of my favorites.


Keep in mind that for airfare, it depends on your distance from the destination. So someone in Belize can fly to Costa Rica for much cheaper than someone in the Midwestern United States.


 


Sagres, Portugal


Sagres is the perfect spot to take in the gorgeous natural landscapes of Portugal. Between the gnarly waves you’ll find on the coast of the Pacific Ocean and the free hiking trails you can trek in and around the area, you won’t run out of activities on your budget trip to this European hidden gem.


This destination has many perks for the budget traveler. It is both affordable and doesn’t tend to get very crowded in the summer.


There are some incredibly nice hostels in the area too. The Goodfeeling hostel is within 10km to Sagres and starts at $17 a night with free beach transfers.


Flights to Sagres start for as low as $466!


What is not to love about this exciting cheap travel destination?


Verona, Italy


Verona is the setting of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet and a beautiful romantic setting for travelers looking to save a buck or two.


I originally found in my research that you can eat for as cheap as $6.75 per person, per meal. But later found in some forums that if you are in the more touristy areas of the city, you will need to expect to pay around 15 Euros per meal.


So plan where you will eat before you go, to save money.


There is plenty to do for cheap or free. The churches are breathtaking and only cost a couple of Euros to enter. If you sight see anything without entering, it can be for free!


If you are already in Europe, you can fly to Verona for as low as $109 round trip. If you fly from the U.S. (like us) you are looking at $1,000+ round trip because let’s face it, it’s far. But once you’re there, your budget travel dreams are endless.


Groupon as some great travel package deals, especially Europe travel packages. See what kind of packages they have for Verona, Italy!


Karlovac, Croatia


I first looked at Dubrovnik, as it is the top destination in Croatia. But then later found it is probably the most expensive one too, which is what we don’t want. It probably doesn’t hurt to visit Dubrovnik for a day or two though while you’re there.

How Listening to Your Clients Wants and Needs Can Help You Land More Sales

Image
Business owners often do more talking than listening. When it comes to making sales, often it’s best to do more listening than talking. Instead of overthinking and brainstorming what your prospects might want, why not just ask them? You’d probably be surprised at how easy it can be to sell them what they’re already telling you they most want/need. For example, if you’re selling a variety of online marketing or web services, instead of trying to force them to buy a particular SEO package to help rank their site, why not ask them what they think their biggest issues are right now with their business? You might find that they really don’t care much about their ranking but might instead be focused on their social media, e-mail list management, or some other service that you could easily do for them.
