TRAVEL HACKS -- based on my travel experience to 22 countries so far. If you love traveling like I do, this is for you. I'll start with flight bookings:
Tuesday evenings (EST) consistently have the lowest fares (weekends are the highest; NEVER book your flights on a weekend).

2-3 weeks out is usually the best time to book.
ALWAYS search for flights in PRIVATE BROWSER MODE & clear your cookies after. Big brother is watching & raising the price
Tues & Thurs are usually cheapest days to travel
Skyscanner.com usually has the cheapest prices

USE A VPN & search from the country you are traveling to. It's cheaper. For eg: I paid $520 from Singapore to D.C. last summer (2019). Same flight was showing $1190 when my friend searched from the USA.
Know your VISA free countries & have all your documents reachable & handy.👇🏾

If you want to really save money, travel "off season" -- late October/early November or "February." Flights are cheaper. I did Prague/Vienna/Budapest on a $600 budget + flights. I traveled in February. But please, have your winter jacket. This also applies to domestic flights.

Be flexible in your dates -- 2/3 days flexibility; you might find a cheaper option.
Learn to travel light. Do not pack enter jackets in your luggage -- they weigh a ton. I'd rather wear 5 winter jackets on me to make space for other essentials than put them in my check-in bag

Bring a sandwich, biscuit, granola bar, fruit, whatev with you to the airport & save hella money by not buying overpriced airport food. Idk why but hell people think they can't bring these things thru security when it's really ONLY LIQUIDS.

Forgot this: fly from the more popular airports. They're cheaper. I'd rather drive/use the bus from my small town to a big city to catch a flight & save >200 than the other way round. E.g: D.C to Mauritius (my next destination) is ~$900, right? But from Pittsburgh, it's $1600.
Folks, I didn't expect this to blow up. Glad to share. I'm just a half-human, half-amazing university professor who enjoys travel, adventure, suits, food, wine, pun & the finer things of life.
