Top 5 Things To Do As You Start The New Year

“THE WORLD IS A BOOK AND THOSE WHO DO NOT TRAVEL READ ONLY A PAGE.” ~ SAINT AUGUSTINE

As we turn the page into 2020, look at your travel goals for this year and next year. Advance planning is the key to saving money on travel. For our trip to Peru and Machu Pichu, I started saving points and miles two years in advance and I booked our flights 330 days in advance. Look at the ages of your children and their personalities, what type of trip will they enjoy in two years. 

Here are the top 5 things you need to do now to save money on travel:

1. If you are not a planner by nature, sit down with your family and brainstorm places you would like to visit. 
2. Check to see which airlines fly to that country or region
3. See approximately how many miles/points you need for each ticket 
4. See which credit cards will help you get there. Remember to look at cards that earn flexible miles/points like Chase Ultimate Rewards or Marriott points. 
5. Make a plan and act on it! 

If you follow this plan each new year, pretty soon, you will be traveling often, for almost FREE, making lifetime memories for your family and giving your children the gift of experiences, culture, traditions and a global perspective. 

Have a wonderful new year from all of us at almostFREEfamilytravel.com
