Off-season travel. Consider taking your overseas vacation trips when others are not on vacation. This makes it even more affordable. Months like May, September, October, January, and February are great times to vacation depending on the destination and climate. If you are blessed to "live where people vacation," like in the Caribbean, for instance, then take regular vacations at home during peak travel season, and plan your international trips during off-season. Jamaica is one such destination where locals can enjoy a perfect holiday during long weekends and public holidays at 5 star hotels with great beaches without having to incur the cost of airfare.
