I love to solo travel and have been in the habit of traveling twice a year to the western states of the USA for 4ish days to hike, meet people, learn about myself, explore cities, and eat local food. A travel buddy called me out when I talked about wanting to buy a house citing each trip probably costing $1000. At a min, it is probably $800 but I have only used airline miles, cut back on eating out at home, and try to stay in hostels. I’m also single with no GF expenses. The big expenses I imagine are the food ($20 a meal in major cities) and transportation. Being a gourmand, I don’t want to give up the food. What are some ways you cut costs?
My ideas:
\- Travel with others to cut transportation/lodging in half if possible.
\- Possibly use busses to get to National Parks (Is no car a terrible idea)?
\- Start a part time side hustle to generate travel cash.
