The dates of travel are flexible, so we work on the travelers schedule, plus we offer a range of accommodations from hostels to superior tourist class hotels, explained Fab Spampinato, Trip-On Tour Department Manager. Basically, we provide all of the indispensable items that a person needs to get around a city from the guidebook and map to the accommodations and subway passes. We help the individual get moving in the right direction, that s really helpful to a novice traveler. The VIP Backpackers CEO, Power, agreed with Spampinato, noting that students can really benefit from self-guided tours. When you re on a budget and traveling in Europe, Australasia, South America, and Africa, take advantage of packages, because they can include transportation, lodging, boat tours, dives, etc., said Power.
Hostels are the ultimate choice for most budget backpackers.
All Hostelling International hostels consider safety and security of our guests a top priority. We ve created standards, which our hostels must meet in order to be part of our organization. All hostels feature separate rooms for males and females, as well as secure storage areas for your belongings or lockers, explained Morales. This is a particularly comforting feature for parents who want to contact their kids while they re traveling abroad. For many, camping is the last resort in traveling accommodations, but for budget backpackers, it s just another way to save a buck.
