When you’ve decided it’s time to go on a travelling trip, the only other thing you need to consider is money. Firstly you need to do your homework and work out how much you need to save. The country or countries you plan to visit will ultimately decide the cost. Thailand is an extremely popular country for travellers, and it’s considerably cheaper than say Australia or America.

Once you know how much you need, save £1000 pound more, just to be safe. You’ll need to create a plan of how much money you need to save by when. You may need to cut down costs on commuting to work, food and bills in the meantime. A year is a long time, and it’s always best to save as much as you possibly can first. It’s not just for the time away, it will also come in handy when you return, and you’re ready for work again!
