Do You Overspend on Your Trips? How to Budget and Track Expenses Using Apps

How many of you return from a trip only to have incurred debt on your credit card?
To avoid this problem of overspending, it needs to begin before you even book that flight.

1) Set a budget based on your savings and how much you can realistically afford.

2) Consider the big ticket items such as;
Airfare and Accommodations
Meals and  Ground Transportation
Google costs or use Booking.com, Expedia, Airbnb to get a sense of costs and play with different dates to see if pricing changes. Lonely Planet guidebooks are helpful, just make sure the data is up-to-date and current.

3) Don't forget ancillary costs, such as; checked bag fees, Visas, travel insurance, single supplement.
