Tell me the name of one person who doesn't want to travel the world, and I would give you some tips on traveling free. Heck, let me just give you the tips anyway, because I know that no one would ever be able to say no to traveling. Wanderlust, after all, is not a word unheard of.

Given below are some tips using which you can afford to travel the world, and as we said, free.

1. Don't Look For Perfection
A perfect trip doesn't mean that you can afford to stay in a five-star property or travel comfortably, because if that's what you need to do, staying at home is no less a comfort. Perfection is overrated, especially in travel. Explore new places, stay up all night looking at the stars, walk instead of booking a cab, because that's what traveling is all about.

2. Time Isn't Money
Contrary to what people say, time isn't money. Whenever you decide to travel, take out as much time as you can. Instead of catching a flight, hitchhike, take rides from truck drivers and bullock carts and interact with them, eat where they suggest, make the best use of the Indian custom of Atithi Devo Bhaveh. Remember, the more time you spend via traveling, the lesser money you need to spend.

3. Go Local
Go online to meet people from places that are in your pipeline. Trust them, make friends and go stay with them. You would get free meals, free stay, best tour guides and of course, friends for life. However, don't forget to take a nice gift for your new friends and their families.

4. Plan In Advance
Free travel needs a lot of planning, because in impromptu plans, you would end up paying more than you plan to. When you plan, you can look for the best options for which you don't have to shell out money.

5. Make Use Of Your Skills
Remember the movie My Name Is Khan? How SRK goes around America with no money, just because of his repairing skills. Take a cue from that and earn while you travel. While we are not asking you to repair cars, you can definitely cook, play music, language classes can definitely help.
