Traveling is one of the best ways to spend money. I’m all for having the necessities of life first — food, shelter and clothing, and even some money set aside for retirement — but after that I put travel at the top of the list.
If I’m going to spend all of these hours each week working, even if it’s work I enjoy such as writing, then there’d better be something worthwhile to spend my money on besides paying the mortgage.
Travel like a local
But after you’ve gone through the travel guide and gotten tips from your friends who have been to your travel destination before, how do you find the best activities to do there? And at a reasonable cost? Enter Vayable.com, a website I discovered while researching a post I was writing for another PF website I own.
Vayable offers unique tours from locals with inside information that you might not get anywhere else.
For example, for $14 you can meet a local in Amsterdam over a beer and hear their tips for places to visit. Or for $75 you can skip the line at the Louvre in Paris and get a one-hour tour of the highlights, then stay on your own to explore it more.
After hearing more about Vayable at Money Propeller, I had an ad created on Fiverr for my sites so that readers can get a free $10 credit from me:
It’s not much, but it should get you started on a travel adventure. In exchange for claiming your $10 Vayable credit through my link, I get $10 credit in return — a win-win.
I haven’t signed up to be a Vayable travel host — mainly because I live about 45 minutes outside San Francisco. But for people who do live in major cities around the globe — New York, London, Barcelona, Rome, and Honolulu, among others — Vayable can be a viable side hustle to earn some extra cash.
And that extra cash can be spent on travel!
Go ahead and create a Vayable account using my link, and we’ll each get $10 for a Vayable travel adventure. Whenever you take that trip, write to me about it, and I’ll do the same with a post update.
Thanks for including Anne’s post! Travelling is totally worth it to spend money and Vayable is really helpful, especially when you’re a first time to travel that place.
Thanks for the tip about Vayable. Now I just to start traveling to exotic destinations around the world!
Great round ups, really enjoyed your article. It’s very helpful. Thanks for sharing your article.
Thanks, Alexis. Hopefully you’ll get a chance to check out Vayable.
I also use Couchsurfing so I’m able to travel like a local better. My host shares all the local spots and I get to live like a local instead of a tourist!
I haven’t tried that but it sounds like a great way to live like a local while on vacation.
