By planning ahead and booking in advance, travelers can often benefit from significant savings on flights, accommodations and activities.
2. Not that: weekend trips Avoiding peak times, such as weekends, can lead to more affordable fares and less crowded destinations. Opting for midweek or off-season trips can provide a more relaxed and enjoyable experience while exploring popular tourist destinations.

Do This: Off-Peak Destinations Rather than sticking to traditional tourist hotspots, Jen encourages travelers to consider off-peak destinations that offer unique experiences and opportunities for cultural immersion. Exploring lesser-known destinations can offer a refreshing change of scenery and often comes with lower prices.
4. Not that: limited research When looking for travel deals, it's essential to cast a wide net and explore multiple booking platforms and search engines. By conducting thorough research and comparisons, travelers can discover hidden gems and get the best possible deals on flights, accommodation and activities.
