Australia is an Expensive country, especially cities like Sydney are very expensive. Everything from food to accommodation and sightseeing to public transport will empty your pockets quickly.

Australia is a very beautiful country but it’s a nightmare for budget travelers. If you really want to travel on a low budget, you should drop Australia and try some other countries in Eastern Europe.

Here are some tips for saving money while you’re traveling.

  1. Try couchsurfing.

  2. If you are not getting hosts on couchsurfing or you aren't comfortable using it you should live in hostels. Use Hostels(dot)com Great deals on hostels anywhere!Or booking(dot)com Booking.com: 907,097 hotels worldwide. Book your hotel now! or Vacation Rentals, Homes, Apartments & Rooms for Rent - Airbnb is a cheaper option. I usually do 30 percent night traveling in my any trip to save money on hotels.

  3. Try to find hostels with kitchen so that you can make your own food sometimes, buy stuff from supermarkets and have breakfast everyday before heading out, to save some bucks at the start of your day. Ask locals for cheap eats, don't pay too much in any restaurant.

  4. Use public transport. All the major cities have city passes and transportation passes for 1/2/3 days or more, buy those and use it like a local. ( a one way public transport in Prague costs around a euro but I bought a 1 day pass in 5 euros, I used it at least 10 times that day , a one way metro ride costs 1.80 euros in Paris while a 1 day pass is around 11 euros ).

  5. Taxis are a big NOOOOOO. You can literally save hundreds of dollars and public transportation is the real way to explore any city.

  6. From my experience buses are cheapest in europe check out megabus, flixbus, eurolines, polskibus, ecolines or better use this goeuro website to compare all modes of transportation together Search & Compare Cheap Buses, Trains & Flights Chose night travelling in buses/trains for cheapest rates. You can even try Trusted carpooling.
    For India train is the best option.
    For South East Asia, buses and flights are best options.

    In the USA, car rental is a good option.

  7. Explore by your self ask hostel staff or use TripAdvisor and see what interests you in a particular city then go there by your self. Believe me it's better then buying expensive sightseeing trips.

  8. Don't spend much on alcohol, who needs that while traveling!!!

  9. Transacting money directly from the debit card is a better way than to convert money to local currency.

  10. Use apps like Whatsapp, Viber, IMO, Dingtone, Primo, Whatscall to call anywhere abroad for free.
