[quote=Anonymous]To save money on our international travel we:

Try to fly at the beginning or end of seasons.

Look for airline tickets many months in advance.

Try to stay in nice but not expensive accommodations. Even better if they include breakfast

Use AirBNBs

Don’t use travel agents

Do a lot of activities that don’t require additional fees (Outdoors/Hiking) Rarely do tours but will do tour if it makes sense (Vatican).

We buy a lot of our own food. We’ll have some dinners out but nothing lavish. We usually don’t eat bid dinners anyway.

We have a list of places we want to see and we regularly check prices. If we see a price we like, we pounce. We also compare international tickets with domestic. For example, when we went to Iceland, it was a cheaper ticket than flying to Phoenix for same dates. Same thing happened for Ireland. Those tickets were cheaper than flying to Seattle. Ireland is also relatively inexpensive to visit. Speaking about Iceland, they let you have layovers for several days if you want. We’ll take advantage of that on a future trip.

I know this is not International but last year a trip to Puerto Rico was same price as visiting OBX.
