How to use Mercury Retrograde to get ahead in your business (and life)

how to run a business during mercury retrograde

With Mercury Retrograde happening at least three times a year (sometimes even four), I thought it was time we stop the collective pity party whenever it hits, and start thinking about how we can harness this vibe to get ahead in our businesses.

So, here are my 3 quick tips for using Mercury Retrograde to help you crush your goals.

1 – Use it to get your ‘ish together.

As enlightened adults, most of us have learned the hard way that ignoring our problems and pretending they don’t exist is a recipe for disaster. Anything that’s not working for us isn’t just going to disappear unless we give it the attention it deserves, and I think we all get that by now.

Since Mercury Retrograde helps to shed light on problems we didn’t realize was there, why are we so freaked out about it?

This is good thing, people! This helps you to figure out what you need to work on, and this period is great for reflection, so you can give yourself permission to dwell on things until you’ve figured out a viable solution.

If new information comes to light that makes you want to reconsider one of the goals you’ve set for yourself or a project you’re working on, this is fantastic time to dig up more information and weigh the pro’s and con’s.

If you feel strongly inclined to completely change directions on something, you have permission to! If you’re not 110% sure, sleep on it for a while, and see how you feel when Mercury Retrograde ends.

Either you’ll find the path you’re supposed to be on, or you’ll double down on your commitment to the path you’re already on. Either way it’s a win-win, yes?

2 – Let unstable things fall apart.

Recognize that Mercury Retrograde helps unstable things fall apart. This means projects, clients, relationships, or anything that wasn’t built on a solid foundation is likely to start showing it’s cracks.

Depending on how shady it was in the first place, it might even implode.

That is okay – let it happen! Worrying about it won’t change a damn thing, so don’t start panicking, wondering what aspect of your life could self-destruct during Mercury Retrograde.

First of all, not all Mercury Retrogrades have the same intensity, and not all of them will affect you strongly. If you’re an astro-newb and really freaked out about how an upcoming phase will affect a big plan of yours – consult with a professional astrologer who tell you exactly how it will affect you based on your unique natal chart.

Then, flip it for the magic! Flipping the situation and focusing on how it actually helps you isn’t selfish, it’s self-care. (And it’s something empaths tend to be really bad at.)

For example, say a situation with a client has been tricky for some time now and your frustration has been slowly simmering beneath the surface because you’re totally convinced this client intentionally tramples all over your boundaries.

Then Mercury Retrograde comes along and bam! Something causes that client relationship to go up in smoke.

Instead of having a total freak-out about your loss of funds, throw yourself a little party and give thanks for the experience.

You not only have the freedom and space to go out and get a new, better client who actually pays on time, you’ve also learned exactly what boundaries you need to make crystal clear to your next client.

So after you celebrate, whip up a new standard contract detailing all of your new non-negotiables and go out and get a new client who actually respects them.

You have the power to do that whenever you want – don’t overcomplicate things!

3 – Slow down to speed up.

Most of the empaths I know are not exactly what you’d picture as typical ‘bleeding heart’ types, who walk around with their hearts on their sleeves and cry at the drop of a hat.

Quite the opposite – as sensitive types most of us have learned to shove our emotions into a neat little box while we chug away in survivor mode and ignore what our bodies, minds and souls really need.

When you do this for long enough, you’re guaranteed to wind up with some sort of physical ailment: anxiety, depression, emotional eating, burnout, high cortisol, wonky menstrual cycles and even autoimmune diseases.

Hands up if you know what I mean, lady!

I know this has definitely been the case for me. I learned to disconnect from my sensitive side and threw myself into over-achiever, perfectionist, super-helper mode for years.

Hell, I was so disconnected from my emotions, I remember going for years without crying – even during heart-wrenching movies! Being the softy I am, that was totally weird for me, but instead of it raising a red flag, I felt thankful I grew out of that ‘side’ of myself.

Looking back, I see how destructive this thinking really was. Being in touch with my own emotions and physical needs wasn’t something to grow out of. It’s natural, and something to be damn proud of. But I was young and I couldn’t see how ignoring my own emotions and needs was damaging me.

I tell you this story because if any of it resonates with you, there’s a good chance you need take some chill time to recalibrate and reconnect with yourself.

Getting back in touch with your inner self and prioritizing your own needs may be something you can do relatively quickly, or it may take quite a long time, depending on how long this has been a pattern for you.

But the cool thing is, Mercury Retrograde is a fabulous time to work this stuff out!

And like I said, if you keep chugging along without doing this important work, your body will let you know in a way that totally interferes with your business.

So why not take these weeks as a chance to prioritize your self-care and reflection, so you can heal what you need to now? If you do, you’ll be refreshed, roaring and ready to conquer the world by the end of Mercury Retrograde, when everyone else is feeling frazzled as f.

This is not an exhaustive list, but a quick guide to pick yourself up when Mercury’s got you down.

I’d love to hear your tips for dealing with the Mercury Retrograde blues, so share them with me in the comments!

With so much love,

xx Stina

The Best Destinations Around the World to Work Remotely as a Digital Nomad

With so many opportunities to work from a laptop, these days it’s possible for many people to make money while living like a nomad. The digital nomad lifestyle has been on the rise for the past decade or so, and it will continue to become more relevant as more online jobs are created.

There are tons of perks related to working from a laptop, the main one being that you’re not tied down to one geographic location. This world is a huge place, and trying to experience it when your 2-week vacation rolls around each year can be difficult. While living the digital nomad life, it’s possible to see the world and make money while doing it.

However, if you plan on adopting a nomadic lifestyle with only the need for a passport, laptop, and an internet connection, it is important to understand that not all destinations are suited for digital nomadism. First thing’s first, strong and reliable WiFi is a must. It also helps to live in a place with a solid digital nomad community; this will make it ten times easier to adopt to the foreign lifestyle.

These destinations around the world have been rated as top picks for digital nomads looking for a comfortable yet adventure-filled lifestyle. On top of offering good WiFi and solid nomad communities, each of these destinations has a relatively low cost of living. So if you want to get the biggest bang for your buck and live like a king for next to nothing, check out these 5 destinations.

Chiang Mai, Thailand

Chiang Mai in Northern Thailand has been deemed as the digital nomad capital of the world for too many years to count. Chiang Mai ranks high for every nomad consideration, including reliable WiFi, trendy coffee shops, affordable cost of living, and a strong sense of a nomadic environment. On top of that, Chiang Mai is home to some of the best food in Thailand, both in terms of Thai cuisine and international dishes.

If you pack up and move to Chiang Mai and start feeling a bit antsy after a few months, you’ll love the fact that most of Thailand and much of SE Asia is within a quick trip. With the help of transportation booking platforms like bookaway.com (for land and sea travel) and Skyscanner (for air travel), many adventures await those who live in Chiang Mai as digital nomads.

Bali, Indonesia

The Indonesian island of Bali is not only the most popular tourist destination out of the 15,000+ islands of the country, but it is another popular digital nomad hub of the world. It ranks just slightly lower than Chiang Mai for its digital nomad qualities. This is mainly because the huge amount of tourists can be a bit much for some nomads, especially those hoping for a quiet place to live.

If the high amount of tourism doesn’t bother you, the place to settle down in Bali is Canggu. Canggu is a short drive from the international airport found on the island and is known by surfers as one of the “sickest places for riding a wave”. Even if you’re not into surfing, you’ll love the trendy cafes, health-oriented restaurants, and fun nightlife scene of Canggu.

Budapest, Hungary

It’s time to move away from Southeast Asia and discuss one of the ultimate digital nomad hubs on the European continent: Budapest, Hungary. Budapest ranks high for its nomad scene based on its fun environment, high safety rating, and relatively low cost of living (at least compared to the rest of Europe).

According to a source called Micropreneur, “Budapest can be affordable if you invest enough time and get away from the city center…Being a European city, you have all the advantages of being in Europe -minus the Euro-, like access to good hospitals, a decent level of English among the population and a safe environment.”

All in all, Budapest isn’t the ideal spot for all digital nomads, but many nomads love the city’s strong culture, good food, and relative affordability when living outside of the main city center.

Medellin, Colombia

So far we have covered Asia and Europe for the top digital nomad destinations, but what about the other side of the world? Although there are some decent places in North America, heading down south is a much better option for nomads on a budget. Central America has several top-notch choices, but the ultimate destination for digital nomads is Medellin, Colombia.

Medellin has only recently entered the top list for best digital nomad destinations, but it continues to gain recognition from laptop warriors of the world. The WiFi is good, the food is even better, and the budget-friendly accommodations allow almost anyone to live like a king. Oh, and don’t forget about the strong Colombian coffee you’ll be drinking while getting things done at a comfortable coworking space.

5 steps to take your ‘side gig’ to full-time freelance work

Being a freelancer can be very rewarding, and if you’ve been working on your side hustle for a while, it’s normal to start thinking about switching to full-time freelancing in the near future.

In order to make the transition, you will need a strategy. Chances are, you might not know exactly how to start, how to find freelance jobs, and when is the right time to switch to freelance work.

Here are 5 steps that will help you achieve your goal of being a full-time freelancer:

1 – Financial aspects

Before you quit your job, you should consider the financial implications and risks, and check whether the time is right.

Rates

As a freelancer, you need to establish your rates. These can be flexible, depending on your clients, but you should have an estimation of how much you can reasonably expect to make per hour/project, and check if you can sustain yourself with those rates.

It’s normal for your rates to be lower in the beginning and grow with experience, therefore start your calculations with a lower number.

Savings

Freelancing can be very uncertain. Especially in the beginning, before you’ve had time to build a name, your income might vary significantly month-to-month, and you might even have months with no income.

Therefore, it’s always recommended to have enough savings to get you through rough times. Calculate your average monthly expenses, and multiply that number by 6. Ideally, you would have enough savings to live for 6 months without an income. This way, you will give yourself the time to slowly get more clients and experience, without stressing out about money.

The amount of savings also depends on the rates you’ve established. The lower the initial rates, the higher the savings.

If you don’t have enough savings, consider working for a few extra months to save more before quitting your job.

2 – Building an online presence

In today’s digital age, it’s hard to find clients without having a robust online presence. Depending on your field, consider setting up a website showcasing your services. Create social media accounts as a freelancer and start promoting yourself.

For a content or copywriter, starting a blog on Medium can be an excellent way to showcase your writing skills when you don’t have a portfolio yet. For a photographer, all social media platforms (especially Instagram) offer an excellent opportunity to showcase your portfolio and build a following. If your services are not as easy to showcase, maybe start a podcast or YouTube channel to talk about the industry.

Take the time to find out the best way to gain exposure in your field, with your level of experience.

Even without a portfolio, if you worked in the same area as your freelancing gig, ask your manager for a recommendation on LinkedIn, which is a simple way to add more credibility.

3 – Being proactive

When starting out, many people aren’t sure how to find freelance jobs. They first work on their skills, build an online presence, and start promoting themselves on those platforms.

While these are great first steps, only doing this and waiting for the clients to show up is not enough. Being proactive is one of the most important aspects when it comes to finding your first clients.

You need to contact companies, pitch your services, ask for referrals, do everything in your power to reach potential clients. Job boards are still highly relevant for freelance work. There are many dedicated job boards for freelancers or remote workers. If you feel overwhelmed by all of the places to look for a gig, FlexJobs is a very reliable place to start!

When contacting businesses, focus on how you can help solve their issues, instead of listing your skills. If you’re having trouble in the beginning, start by accepting low-paid jobs (as a temporary measure), from which you can gradually build experience and get referrals.

If you’re already doing some part-time freelancing, you probably have at least one client. If you want to switch to full-time freelancing, you will still need to go through these steps.

4 – Networking

Meeting interesting people and building a network of relevant connections significantly increases your chances of acquiring clients. For any freelancer, especially at the beginning of their career, networking should be something to invest time in proactively.

Meet-ups, events & workshops

You can make real-life connections by regularly attending industry events and workshops. Also, you can learn of new job/project-opportunities through these events, and they are also great for keeping you up to date with the latest industry trends and developments.

When networking, make sure you don’t come across as too sales-y. Instead, mention what you do, but focus on getting to know other people. When relevant, you can exchange business cards, and later follow up with a proposal.

Online

You can also use social media sites for networking and searching for opportunities.

LinkedIn is especially well-suited for this purpose. Make sure you have an updated profile, and be active. Contributing with valuable content on relevant industry topics will help you build credibility and engage with more people in your field.

It is also a good idea to join Facebook groups. Whether you’re a writer, designer, web developer, etc., there are a variety of groups geared towards making connections and helping you advance in your specific career. You can make the most out of being a group member by highlighting your expertise, and asking for advice. You can also ask other members how they landed their first client.

5 – Mindset

Last but not least, your mindset will make a big difference in how well you’ll do in your freelancing career. Before you quit your job, consider what freelancing is really like, and the requirements for being successful.

As a freelancer, you will need patience, perseverance, motivation, self-discipline, great time-management… the list is long. In order to become a full-time freelancer, you have to be prepared to work on these skills. Otherwise it’s easy to give up before becoming successful.

You also have to be confident and believe in the value of your services, even when times are a bit rough. If your mindset is right, you can achieve it.

How to Land the Remote Job of Your Dreams (even if you’re not totally qualified)

According to Flexjobs, a leading remote job listing platform, 3.9 million Americans or 2.9% of the total U.S. workforce work from home at least half the time. Moreover, remote job listings on the platform increased 51% from 2014 to 2017.

There’s a reason for this whopping growth in remote jobs. Who wouldn’t mind controlling their own schedule, where they work from, and foregoing the commuter stress.

So how can you land a job that’s remote? Be that wanderlust digital nomad you envy as you scroll through your Instagram feed? When you look around various job boards and most remote jobs are for highly qualified professionals in software development, marketing, or project management. It can be a bit intimidating to get started…

Fear not, here are a few tips on how to land that dream remote job, even if it means you’re not currently the best-qualified candidate.

1) Know your strengths and weaknesses

Start by getting crystal clear on what’s working for you right now and isn’t. Highlight your strengths in terms of technical skills and soft skills, and where the gaps might be. This helps you figure out the level of effort required in getting a remote job and the necessary steps required.

For example, if you’re not particularly technical in nature and have no experience or interest in software development. Well, this means you need to explore non-tech focused job boards for remote opportunities.

It can also mean, if most of the postings are technical in nature, it’s time to invest in building such a skillset if going remote trumps your passion for the job itself.

Do your research and make a list. Having this clarity from the get-go means you’re investing your energy in finding jobs that you have a good chance and passion for.

Once you have a crystal clear idea of your strengths and weaknesses, you can use them to convince a remote employer to take a chance on you, because you’re a great fit for the role despite the technical gaps.

Fingerprint for Success is a great resource if you need a help uncovering your own natural strengths and ‘blind spots’.

2) Be creative with the search process

While there’s tons of remote job board out there such as We Work Remotely or Flexjobs. Take it a step further by personally looking up great remote companies to work for (you can find our short list here) and personally reach out to employees on LinkedIn to learn more about the company and showcase your skillset and culture-fit.

Remote communities are also a great way to get to know digital nomads out there and the companies they work for (e.g. NomadList). Join them and build genuine relationships by participating in discussions and meet-ups they host. If there’s an opportunity at a company someone knows you’re a good fit for, well there’s your warm lead to an interview. After all, your chances of getting an offer are roughly 6% higher if you were referred by someone in the company you’re applying to work for than if you weren’t.

3) Keep the focus on your soft skills that show you’re adaptable and have what it takes to learn quickly

Certain characteristics are key to successfully working remotely. Sure, you need the technical skills to get the job done such as programming or UX design, but at the same time now you’re in a world where you need to manage your own time and workload. Working remotely takes a lot more than just having a fast internet connection…

This means it’s key to emphasize the following characteristics which are as equally important as technical skills to any remote job you’re applying for:

Show you’re self-motivated – highlight extracurriculars or projects you dedicate yourself to on the side.
Highlight ways in which you efficiently manage your time and stay organized. Juggled multiple things at once before? Talk about this and touch upon the techniques you used.
Come across as relatable and a quick learner. Try to highlight tools used commonly in remote companies such as Slack, Trello, or Toggl that have helped you stay productive and how you’re familiar with them in your past experiences. If you haven’t used any, talk about how you’ve picked up new tools quickly and that you have it what takes to learn on the job.

4) Build any essential missing skills by taking weekend courses

If you’re lacking the core competencies for the job you’re aiming for. Try building these skills in your spare time by taking on various online courses. Great places to upskill are massive open online course (MOOC) platforms such as Udemy or EdX.

Udemy boasts over 80,000 courses you can choose from and contain some very digital nomad friendly programs such as ‘Web Developer Bootcamps’ and even soft skill development such as ‘Job Interview Training’.

Similarly, EdX on the provides the same breadth of courses but goes a step further to offer you accredited certifications and degrees from world-leading institutions such as Harvard or MIT.

Both offer self-guided courses that you complete at your own leisure which makes it perfect to boost your qualifications and more attractive to remote job employers.

And it pays off, a Harvard study found 72% of survey respondents reported career benefits and 61% reported educational benefits from participating in MOOCs.

5) Persistence is key…never give up

It can be challenging if you’re facing rejection after rejection for your first couple job applications. However, persistence is key and a good way to keep at it when the going gets tough is to:

Stay inspired by others who’ve already gone remote. Read up on success stories and follow popular digital nomads on social channels.
Have someone keep you accountable. Find someone else through the remote community forums that are also on the hunt for a remote job just like you. Set time with them regularly to chat about what you both are struggling with and lessons learned so far.

Having the right mindset is key to finally breaking through and landing that remote job offer. If anything, this tip is the most important one!

In summary, the remote job industry continues to grow and more employers are catching on to the benefits it offers to employees. The barriers are lowering and hopefully, the above tips can get you started on successfully landing a digital nomad gig in no time!

Happy job hunting!

5 Mistakes You’re Making When Looking for a Remote Job

There’s a point in your life when you say: enough. Enough to the 9-5, long commute, and annoying water-cooler chitchat.

There has to be a better way.

That’s how most of us get into working remote, anyway. Maybe your reason was different. But no matter what made you decide to work from home (or from Bali one week, and Chiang Mai the next), it isn’t easy.

There are plenty of mistakes you can make when looking for a remote job. Luckily, we’ve made most of them, and we’re here to help you.

So here’s five common mistakes you might make, and how you can nip them in the bud.

1) Not knowing what truly motivates you

There’s a lot of remote jobs so you may feel pressured to just choose, and deal with the consequences.

However, if you don’t understand what kind of work truly energizes and motivates you, you’ll apply for jobs you don’t want to do. You won’t come across as the right candidate in the interview.

And even if you do get the job, you won’t be happy about your decision to work remotely.

In return, your output and the quality of what you do will suck.

What can you do to avoid this remote job mistake?

Focus on the type of work that easily gets you into the “flow state.” You’ll recognize it when you forget about the time and focus on the work you’re doing.

You can also use a motivational assessment app like Fingerprint for Success to find out what your talents are, and from there, figure out what type of remote job is the best fit for you.

2) Not optimizing your LinkedIn profile

LinkedIn is definitely one of the best ways you can find a remote job. However, it’s important to use it the right way.

If you treat LinkedIn like Facebook for business, and leave it to collect dust in your inbox, you’ll close one very important door for yourself.

It’s not enough to just write “expert in [your field]” in your description and call it a day.

When a potential employer sees that, they’ll just see another one highly-qualified number applying for a job. There’s millions of applications pouring in for great remote jobs, so you want to stand out from the get-go.

What can you do to avoid this remote job mistake?

Up-level your LinkedIn profile, stat!

Forget about writing long summaries. Instead, write about your skills and the results you’ve achieved in prior positions in 1-2 sentences at most, and finish the summary with a call to action such as: “Schedule a call.”

You can also actively seek out opportunities through LinkedIn, and connect with people in your industry. Like LinkedIn themselves say: “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know.” and that honestly couldn’t be more true in the world of remote work.

3) Not optimizing your resume

Employers dread going through applications and resumes. So if you send in a resume that’s boring, has too much text, and isn’t eye-catching at all, your chances of landing that remote job you’ve always wanted will decrease.

The same goes for adding a garden variety of work experiences. Does your potential employer really need to know about the time you worked in retail?

What can you do to avoid this remote job mistake?

Optimize your resume before sending it.

Every. Single. Time.

Most people are too ‘lazy’ to do this, but modifying your resume to include keywords from the position you’re applying for can do wonders.

For example, if you’re applying for the position of a content marketer, you want to speak about relevant work experience (e.g. marketing internship, experience in advertising), and also list the key soft skills the remote company mentions in their job posting (only if you honestly have them, of course).

Keep the text to a minimum; trim the ‘fat’ wherever possible and include key power words to increase your impact. Try to explain your most significant achievements and responsibilities in 1-2 sentences.

Another good touch is to turn the “Objective” category at the top of your resume on its head, by writing a personal summary statement that drips and oozes with your own personality.

4) Not applying because you think you aren’t qualified

You don’t have to be 100% qualified for a job to apply for it. In fact, that rarely happens in real life.

Employers love setting high standards so they attract high-quality candidates, but you don’t need to have all the skills listed in the job description to be a great hire.

We’re talking to you, ladies, in particular. It seems like women only apply for jobs when they feel 100% qualified (with men, it’s 60%).

What can you do to avoid this remote job mistake?

If you want to land a great remote job, forget about being the perfect candidate. Having all the skills listed in the job description doesn’t make you one. Your approach does.

Emphasize your relevant experience and your ability to learn (if there are some technical skills needed). Even if you have only done a few brief projects in the area of work you’re applying for, highlight those projects, the results you got, and specifically why you loved working on them. Showing genuine enthusiasm and motivation here can get you extremely far.

In the end, you can’t lose anything by applying, and you stand to gain a lot. At the very least, you could be opening doors for the future, or even learn about a different position at the company that might be a better fit!

5) Not negotiating a higher salary

It’s horrible to feel underpaid. Even if you’re just starting out, feeling underpaid can make you feel miserable.

And you already know the rest of the story: you won’t produce quality work, and you’ll get demotivated before you can say: “Remote work is awesome!”

What can you do to avoid this remote job mistake?

Even if the job description doesn’t mention anything about salary being negotiable, be brave enough to ask. Men are especially great at this in a lot of cases, so we stand to learn something from them.

Employers rarely state their actual budgets. Instead, they have a margin for the perfect hires. And if you know your employer really values you and wants to either hire or retain you, emphasize your past results and ask for a higher salary.

Looking for a remote job is only hard if you don’t focus on the right things. So if you love the freedom of not being stuck in an office, learn to love the process of asking for the things you want.

Happy job hunting!

Money Saving Tips for Summer Travel

All winter long, it seems like it’s too cold or dark or dreary to want to do anything. Once the sunshine sets in and the summer months begin, so does the wanderlust. Time to travel! They call it travel season for a reason. Families are on the move because school’s out. The sunnier weather leads a yearning for time away from work. Plus, with three-day holiday weekends, it can make it easier to plan some time away.

So, the questions remain: Where to go? And, how much will it cost?

1 – Set a budget upfront

When you travel and go on vacation, it’s easy to let the budget get out of hand. By having a number in the beginning that you’d like to stay within, it’s easier to look for ways to save.

The first thing to consider is transportation. Is it cheaper to travel by plane, train, or automobile? Research coupons and deals before booking your transportation. Compare rates and look in advance versus waiting until last minute.

If you decide to fly, sometimes it’s fun to have a drink or two on your flight. Since mini bottles are under TSA’s regulation size for liquids, bring your own along. Get some little champagne bottles and make your own mimosas instead of paying an arm and a leg while you’re in the air. Everything is up-charged from the plane to the hotel mini bar, so by bringing your own spirits, you’ll already be right on track with your budget.

Accommodations are next. Check online reviews and explore the options of budget hotels, Airbnb, VRBO (vacation rentals by owner), and even hostels. If your travel plans involve being out and about exploring most of the day, then maybe the extra amenities that more expensive hotels bring aren’t necessary for a trip where you’re trying to save money.

Find a place that’s all- or partially-inclusive. By working with a travel agent, you may be able to find a cruise deal or boutique hotel that offers some add-ons such as meals, drinks, and/or activities. When these types of costs are already built into your budget, then it’s easier to track your expenses when you’re traveling.

2 – Get a city pass.

Once you get to where you’re going, search for options of a city pass that can either be used for local transportation, local entertainment, or both. These can be especially valuable if you are going to be taking the bus or subway multiple times or want discounts to many different popular attractions.

3 – Plan meals in advance.

The easiest way to spend extra money is on food when you’ve not planned ahead and are hungry and in the moment. If you’ve chosen a hotel with a free breakfast, take full advantage and snag an extra piece of fruit or bagel as a snack for later in the day. If there is a type of cuisine or particular restaurant you’d like to try, opt to visit at lunch. Many restaurants have some of the same dishes on both their lunch and dinner menus with the only difference being portion size and cost. Also, think about packing sandwiches for a couple of meals, especially if it’s a long day on the go.

4 – Cut back on souvenirs.

There’s no need to bring back T-shirts or tchotchkes from every city for every person in your circle. Make your photos and memories your souvenirs and if you do want to bring something special back, make it something native to the area you’re visiting.

One of the best things to do before planning your summer travel is to save as much as you can. Don’t waste money by mindlessly buying coffees multiple times a week or eating out too much. Think of every dollar you save as extra money you can spend on exploring a new city and enjoying your vacation. It’ll be worth it to pinch pennies for a while.

5 – Get an international SIM card

Avoid exorbitant roaming charges that can reach up to $100 or more per day (something I know from experience) by grabbing an international SIM card.

Alternatively, you can pick up a local SIM card in the country you’ll be traveling to, but be sure to do your research beforehand so you know exactly how you’re going to get that SIM once you land. Some airports sell SIM cards directly in the airport and while some are a great deal, others are vastly overpriced to take advantage of ignorant tourists.

Unfortunately, I once landed in an airport with the intention of buying a SIM card there, only to find BOTH stands that were selling SIM cards had already shut down for the day. This put me in a bit of a bind, considering I couldn’t use my foreign SIM and the airport’s WiFi was terrible.

In the end, I had to chase down a store about 50 minutes away in order to pick up a SIM for my phone. Lesson learned! Always have a back-up plan, or just go with the international SIM card so you can worry about other things.

6 – Be creative!

The more you travel, the better you will get at saving.

Signing up for free rewards programs can add up to a free or discounted part of your future travels. Also, continue to look up deals leading up to vacation on sites like Groupon or LivingSocial for things to do in the area. Get travel advice from those around you and do your research because there are plenty of free things to do.

Money should not get in the way of your summer travel fun. 🙂
