Join me in this sad story. You are a person who lives in a big city. You have a good job, one you love. He allows you to pay a rent and fill the fridge, but every day the prices go up (look at the jars in Mercadona) and your salary is not. Living is more expensive and that is a reality, but one of the things you like most in the world is also one of the most expensive: traveling.
Now, if there was a possibility of traveling spending much less and without having to look for the perfect backpack in which you fit everything to avoid paying the extra for Ryanair, we would have the solution to your problems. Well, you’re in luck because There is a new trend in travel and its last name is “cheap”.
Getaways with a surprise destination
They do not cost more than 200 euros per person and it is one of those new ways of traveling that escape what we understand as normal. The concept is that the experience will always matter much more than the destination, as it happens with everything in life. In sex, for example, the journey is much more interesting than the orgasm and in books, the ending is not what matters, but everything you experience while reading it.
The getaways or surprise trips is a concept in which we buy a trip but we don’t know where we are going until 48 hours before. The only drawback I see is that we have to have a wardrobe cool enough and that it does not go out of style, in which there are thermal clothes to go to Berlin to peel off the cold and white dresses and bikinis to go to Madeira or at the coast of Albanian. I don’t see any other drawback to traveling this way because also web pages like wow trip, Drumwit either flykube they allow you to discard destinations that you have already been to.
The application of waynaboxfor example, offers trips that go from 45 euros if you go by road to 450 per person if you go by plane. You can leave not only from Madrid, but also from Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, Alicante or Bilbao among other cities.
You select the type of transport, from where you leave and the number of people traveling. Then it gives you to choose the type of surprise (island, Spain or Europe), and the number of days (2,3,4 or 5) and the dates, in which you will already see the prices. With a selection of, for example: plane, Madrid, two people, Europe and 3 days, we have a trip leaving on Thursday, March 2 for 150 euros. You will always fly in a direct flight (you can limit the schedules with an extra cost) and it allows you one free discard (each discard adds 10 euros).
If we want to lower the price even more (12 euros per person), instead of a private room in a hotel or apartment we can choose a hostel or shared bathroom, and also vice versa and pay an extra at the hotel to upgrade it and include breakfast .
Of course, it seemed to us such a great plan that we are already packing the suitcase to leave in spring without leaving us a fortune along the way.
