Most of us would love to live like a rock star. And we all wish we could afford to travel like Beyonce, but for most of us, it just doesn’t fit the budget. If only at least once we could experience what it’s like to live and feel like a celebrity. Good thing we found these four affordable ways to travel like your favorite stars without hurting your wallet.
Traveling gives us time to rethink, refocus and commune with nature, or simply be with the people we care about. But traveling to posh places is something we all wish to experience at least once in our lifetime. Why not get the best deals on your travel plan by checking out these tips:
- Sign up for Deals – Signing up for airline promos could save you more dollars. Airlines have all-year round deals, and you just need to know when they will release it. You can sign up for any exclusive deals on emails and SMS so you get instant updates when the airline announces promo fares. After getting that promo fare, always reserve a window seat for that perfect shot! If you wish to, you may also upgrade your seat to first class for that celebrity experience.
Hotels also have promotions. Usually, hotel vouchers are given during the off-peak parts of the season where there are fewer travelers. This is a way for them to keep customers coming in, and a chance for you to have that celebrity-class room. You can also sign up on their website to receive points and redeem them upon booking.
- Book an All-Inclusive Resort– Upon booking a room in a hotel or a resort, make it all-inclusive with breakfast, lunch and dinner plus other hotel amenities. Some hotels are giving away free wine or champagne to customers. This will give you more time to go and find the nearest café to dine in, plus you cover most of your costs up front. Celebrities do the same thing; they get all-in accommodations and simply focus on relaxing!
Speaking of relaxation, since this is only happening once in a lifetime, so why not treat yourself for an hour in the spa? Celebrities love going to spas for that perfect pampering and ‘me time’ experience.
- Go where the Stars Are – When planning a vacation, checkout where your favorite stars usually go. If Taylor Swift had a blast in Ibiza, why not book a hotel in Ibiza using the deals you signed up for? Be a wise, yet posh traveler. Make a checklist of the best possible celeb-places you can visit and save up for.
Another tip: you can also schedule your vacation during the awards seasons like the Oscars, Cannes, and more. This way, you will have greater chances of spotting all your favorite stars in one place! Don’t forget to bring your camera in case Leonardo DiCaprio passes by!
- Book a Cruise – Finally, when you want to splurge a little, and really travel effortlessly, book a cruise destination. You’ll have a week or two of celebrity-like and celebrity-life vacation where you can eat international cuisines, drink and party like a real celebrity, and enjoy some much needed relaxation. Choose a popular cruise destination where most stars go, find the best deals, book ahead, and enjoy! Since you’ve sacrificed and saved to enjoy your experience, make sure you take steps to protect your vacation and are prepared for emergencies, so you can focus on having fun!
Traveling like the celebrities should not really break the bank, all you need to make it a reality is a plan and these four tips. So start saving and go treat yourself!
