I tried a canal boat trip in our local area and saw sights I never knew existed!

These are great tips though. What is the easiest way to find cheap budget airlines? I find that in America it can be difficult to find affordable flights from anyone, and searching for different countries can be a bit daunting.
Also, just a quick notion- how does volunteering extend your vacation? I understand that it gives you a different perspective on your trip from just relaxing, and gives you an opportunity to help the local community, but I don’t really think it does anything to help extend your available travel time.

I try to plan my vacation around bank holidays, just to be able to stay longer without having to use up my holiday allowance.
Living in England I make the most of using budget airlines like easyjet and ryanair. If you keep your eye out they too have super cheap deals and that on top of the already cheap prices.

Thanks for sharing!

I definitely make the most of my vacation days by taking time off around holidays or weekends. :) Thankfully there’s sooo much to see/do within driving distance or a short weekend jaunt.

I volunteered at an orphanage in Rabat, Morocco last year. Working alongside locals every day is a great way to get immersed in and learn about another culture. Also, I made friends with fellow volunteers from around the globe and we had the opportunity to travel together to other places in Morocco. I went with Cross Cultural Solutions (CCS), which I recommend.
