Students can travel in the United States without spending too much money if they follow these suggestions.
A travel agent can give you information on special economy fares for trains, buses and planes. (73) Think about hiking or biking for a part of your trip, too. You’ll not only save money, but you’ll also see a lot more of the country.
Some students may want to travel by car. Be sure to think about going with other students—many colleges have “ride boards” that list when and where other students plan to travel. Many radio stations provide the same sort of service—they announce who’s driving where, when, how many riders they will take and what the expenses will be.
There are many inexpensive, older hotels near bus or train stations. Check your travel guide for names of the best. (74) Many parts of the country also have youth hostels where young people can stay for only a few dollars a night.
You don’t have to eat in restaurants all the time, but we don’t recommend a diet of candy and cola, either. You can usually get a healthy, cheap breakfast in a restaurant. If the weather is warm, you can buy food in supermarkets or at roadside stands and have a picnic for lunch. For dinner you can get the names of good, cheap restaurants from the travel guide or friends.
