Saving Money

When planning a trip, do you often ask yourself: "How much should I bring?" or "How much money am I going to spend?"

It's not that difficult to calculate the amount of money needed, but if you have a certain budget on your hands, there are destinations where that amount wouldn't last for a day. We've researched many attractive destinations and have some insights for you on that end. We even have easy-to-follow advice on how to save up, but don't forget what Supercoucou is all about: group travels - a way to bring down the cost of a trip and meet new and exciting people.

Packing

We know how difficult it can be sometimes. You buy a carry-on luggage bag for a low-cost flight, and you think this should cover all of them, but different airlines have different restrictions, whether it’s the number of free bags you can check, or the dimensions of your checked bag and carry-on. Economy class flights allow bulkier luggage, but how far should you let your packing spree go?

When traveling by buses, trains, and boats, different rules apply. Then there’s the question of how to fit everything you need for your journey in your bag. You’ll find everything you need to know about packing, including so many easy-to-follow packing tips in this chapter.

Accommodation

With your flights booked, a to-pack list, while-I-am-away arrangements and your passport ready, there’s just one more important thing to think about: “Where am I going to stay during my trip?” And most importantly: “How much is it going to cost me?”

Your travel cost doesn’t need to be high for you to have an amazing experience. Hidden under the radar, there are many other accommodation options which will save you money, nerves and time. Why not enjoy your morning coffee with a local host, exchange exciting stories with other campers, or an extravagant stay at a monastery? The possibilities are endless.

Languages

What’s one of the first things you do before traveling to another country? You note down a couple of local words and phrases that could come in handy in real-life situations in a foreign country. When traveling to the usual tourist hotspots, you’ll be fine since most people speak or understand English, one of the most widely spoken languages in the world.

However, if you want to explore more intimate and secluded places, experience the culture and arts first-hand, or just get a taste of the local atmosphere, you might want to bring those notes along. Find out the most widespread languages and other language-related tips like how to get by without understanding the local language in this chapter.
