Traveling abroad can be expensive, but there are ways to make it more affordable. Here are a few easy ways I save on international trips.
1. Get cheap phone service with an eSIM or a local SIM card

2. Buy meals and snacks at grocery stores
Avoid expensive meals at restaurants by getting quick meal options at local markets to save on costs and have convenient food options at your accommodation.
