My Experiences

I had mentioned in my previous blog post that I had traveled in and outside the country. Well, I have been to 8 different states in America and 3 different states in Mexico. I’ve lived most my life in the U.S and found that trips in America are more expensive than Mexico. In America your money does not always last as long as you want it to when on a trip. On my last trip in Denver, CO I had to limit myself to what I buy and the cost of food. This made the trip a bit frustrating since money was an issue and didn’t allow me to do the things I would have liked to do.
When I was in Mexico my money lasted me a lot longer than I expected because things were cheaper than usual. The last time I went $1 dollar equaled $20 pesos which made traveling and food so much cheaper. I bought 5 tacos and a Coca Cola for $40 pesos which is $2 dollars making my meal extremely cheap. On my trip money was not an issue that by the end of the trip I had left over money.

            So from my experience I have learned that depending on the place you go your money can last you longer than other places allowing you to do more. Having experienced trips in two different countries has really opened up my horizon of traveling and got me thinking of ways to make trips affordable.

After picking your destination you have to look for a place to stay but hotels can be expensive and cheaper hotels aren't always the best.
