Hi Travel Bugs, Russell Hannon here with Break The Travel Barrier. I talk to a lot of different travelers and, it always amazes me how the same common questions come up. One of those is...they say " Well Russ, we're planning a trip and with so many websites out there, we haven't the faintest idea where to get the best price for a hotel". And before I show them my Fast Track system on how to get the best price... I always ask the question "Why did you opt for a hotel over cheaper options?" Most of the time, people think I'm talking about couchsurfing and AirBnB. Yes those are great places to find fully furnished accommodations anywhere in the world, only there is so much more out there that travelers often overlook. I'm going to share with you types of accommodations to consider, starting with those that are free, then others from least to most expensive. Anytime you plan a trip, start at the top of this list and pinpoint the least expensive option that's right for you. Free Options Include: • Friends & Family • Travel Hospitality: Where people offer travelers a free place to stay • Home Swapping: I think its a great option for families to swap with other families with kids the same age • House Sitting • Sleep friendly camping vans For Paid Accommodations: Your options, generally from least-to-most expensive are: • Camping • Shared Accommodations: Renting with locals • Hostels and University dorms (May - August) • Timeshare Presentations: Where you get deep discounts for attending ownership sales pitches • Bed & Breakfasts, Hotels & Resorts To quickly find and book the best option for you, you'll find a list of websites sorted by accommodation type at BTTB.com under the 'BEST PRICE' section. I hope this opens new options for you and that is also saves you time finding the best place to hang your hat. And with that, happy hunting. www.BreakTheTravelBarrier.com
