If you are looking to take your family on a vacation but you cannot afford to do so because vacations cost so much of money in this day and age, you should think creatively because there are many kinds of vacations that you can take without having to spend extra money. It is a sad fact that many families today skip out on their annual family vacations because they think vacations cost too much money. The truth is, traditional vacations cost money because there are many businesses out there that are trying to make money off businesses but the truth is, a vacation is simply time that you take off with your family and you should be able to do this anywhere at any time.
Think out of the box
Instead of looking at expensive five star hotels and water ski warehouse and resorts, think small. Today the concept of holidaying has changed drastically and most young people choose to go on vacation with hardly any money and no plans at all with only a small backpack full of things on their backs. They live off the roads and live like the locals which is actually extremely cheap and you too can go on a vacation like this with your family and you will find that it does not cost any money at all.
You can choose to rent out outboard motors from locals in the area if you water to go for boat ride on the sea without going through agents which will help you to save a lot of money. Many of these agents normally get these things from the locals in the area and will increase the price many times before they sell it to you as a tourist because tourism is big money in many of these countries.
For your accommodation, you can choose to stay with a local family. You should be able to find someone online who is willing to rent out a room in their house for a small amount and offer you some food in return for a small amount of money. Unlike the big companies, these locals will usually do a lot for a small amount of money and might even be willing to be your tour guide if you if you need one. It would be a good idea to do some research about the country that you are going to in order to get information about the local public transport and such to help you save money and have the best experience.
