Accommodation may be one of the biggest costs while travelling, but it also offers some of the biggest opportunities for savings. We've been travelling full-time for the past 15 months now. That means that we're constantly on the move and on the hunt for cheap accommodation options. How have we been staying on the cheap and sometimes even for free? This video shows you how.

There’s not much in the way of budget accommodation in Dubai. Cheap guest house style accommodation that is common in Asian destinations does not fit in with Dubai’s grandmaster plan of being a luxury holiday and shopping stop-over hub
Great tips, guys! I’ve been an AirBnB fan for years. Our stays in Montreal and Seattle were inexpensive and located in the coolest neighborhoods. Hotels were at least twice the cost. Living like a local is always better!
Thanks Britt! Staying in a local neighbourhood shows you a whole different side to a city, doesn’t it?!
