With the value of our Ringgit Malaysia slowlyyyyy getting back on track (praying so hard), it’s a sign for us to start planning our next holiday. ? As it goes with all holidays, the one thing we can never escape from holiday planning is MONEY. ? So to help you save more Ringgit for your next travel, here are five ways you can try to plan your money wisely and get the most out of your trip!

 

1. Learning to prioritise

What is the one thing you can’t compromise on during your vacays? Perhaps you’re a foodie who LOVES eating good food every meal, or someone who wants to travel comfortably in more atas hotels. Regardless, pick and choose your main priority for the holidays and see how you can save money on the rest!

 

2. Sharing is saving

Travelling in a group is obviously fun (*whispers* with the right people), but it happens to be budget-friendly too! Split costs on accommodation, transportation and meals among yourselves, and feel your wallet getting heavier, ripe for travelling. Plus, you can score group-only deals that are commonly available for attractions, tours, and experiences, letting you enjoy premium services at a group discount.

 

3. Be a hipster (we guess that isn’t a thing now?) for non-peak seasons

You may have to tweak your travel plans to fit the season, but travelling during non-peak season is a huge cost-saver. You can score lower rates for flights, hotels and tours too! Introverted Malaysians will also find peace with fewer crowds, so find out when is the down season of your destination and save more.

 

4. Free breakfast? Score!

If you’re okay missing out on exploring local food for breakfast (maybe sometimes only lah) or simply want an easy meal, you can seek out hotels, hostels, or Airbnb stays that offer complimentary breakfast. Not only will you save money, but you’ll also be able to recharge in the mornings when you’re a little more groggy.

 

5. Opt for a debit card with NO conversion fees!
