The Beautiful Bahamas

What if we tell you that you can experience the Maldives even if you are not in the Maldives. Doesn’t make any sense, right? When Karafin visited the Bahamas she recalls, “Well, while the beaches in the Maldives remain one of the most sought-after and luxurious destinations in the world, I was pleasantly surprised to find quite the resemblance in the beaches in the Bahamas. For a lot less money, too.” So you get the crux of the story.

You Can Do It Too

Karafin has explained the thought of being busy is just in your head, she says, “You have time. You can make time. Even the busiest people in the world, they have time,” she explained. “That’s why I focus so much on weekend trips.”
Do you get it? Even if you are the busiest of all, still you can take out time. You can always plan your trip on weekends. That’s not bad, right? Let us tell you how?

Flying On A Budget

Karafin suggests that looking for affordable flights is important when you’re on a budget. And she has got some pretty awesome suggestions on you can book cheap tickets. She uses this trick all the time. Firstly, when she is looking for tickets she makes sure that she has disabled the cookies on her browser so sites won’t calculate the airfare cost based on previous purchases (genius!). “They assume that’s what you’re willing to pay,” explains Karafin. Ready for the second trick?

Be Spontaneous

Everyone has a list of destinations written on the piece of paper, diary or it could be in your mind right now. But Karafin recommends that you should consider destinations that you have never thought of. And why is that? You ask. Because you can get cheap airfare tickets plus an affordable vacation. That’s nice. “I use websites that allow me to put ‘everywhere’ as a destination, and New York as my origin,” Karafin explains. But research has always been her first priority.

The More You Know

Karafin spends a lot of time on her personal research. She keeps on researching until she doesn’t find affordable flights and accommodations. She even asks for help when required. “I visit many blogs for tips and message the blogger with questions.” She also uses Excel to keep a tab on her research that later comes in handy. What next?
