How to visit a city spending no money
Good question! How to do it. Because most of us think travel to our favorite city and then visit properly need money.
No Money No Travel No Visit.
But in reality it is not like that as we think.
I agree that we need a small amount of money because there are expenses that we have to cover ourself but it is also true that there are many tricks for doing free travel & getting accommodations free of cost.
Let's talk about them one by one.
Free travel trick
Hitchhiking
Hitchhiking is very popular among travellers, specially young travellers, who want to travel from one to another place without spending a single penny of money 💰.
How they do?
Requesting others such as car drivers, truck drivers, motorcycle drivers and drivers of any other type of vehicles🚜 who are traveling in same direction on the road towards final destination or any nearby city close to final destination.
They show autostop sign👍 or a play card with a text "Need help" to vehicle drivers.
Normally someone will stop, sure! to help you and will provide you a seat in vehicle agreeing to carry you to your final destination or nearby city.
From nearby city, you can apply same trick to reach your final destination.
So you reach your destination without spending money.
Nevertheless, you have to be very careful for choosing a vehicle & a driver because, may be, sometimes vehicle is in a bad condition making your journey very tough or sometimes driver and others who are in vehicle, they are bad and will treat you badly once vehicle starts running, even they can loot you, so extreme precaution is necessary if you choose Hitchhiking for your travel.
You reach your destination by auto stop trick but now you need an accommodation free of cost.
You may sleep on road, train or bus station, under a bridge or in a park but all these options are very suitable in summer season and when climate is good or you don't have any other option.
Because there is a risk of police interference due to place is prohibited for sleeping 💤 or may be your security reason.
There will be chance that bad people can loot your money, bags etc whatever you are carrying with you.
Of course, may be, you will not have access to a toilet if you need it at night.
Considering all these, travellers of all over the world 🌎 develop a new trick that is to support each other by providing a space for accommodation in own house.
Couch-surfing is very popular, specially among young travellers who are interested to visit another city but they do not have enough money or want to spend money in travel & accommodations bookings.
We created a Best Deal section, visit it, may be you find an offer on a discount rate suitable for you.
We also write our discount coupon codes which you can use for your bookings.
So what is couch-surfing?
In whole world many people live alone or with partner or family and want to meet new people of different city, country, culture or race but it is difficult to collect so many types of people on a place at a same time because it needs a good networking or you are a very famous person at global level and on your call people can collect on a place for a public meeting & you have capacity and resources to manage them.
Of course, every one is not famous.
Nevertheless, people have extra rooms for guests or can provide a space to guests such as drawing room to stay of guests in own house.
They publish this offer on Internet.
There are many travel websites on internet agreed to publish such offers free of cost.
You don't charge to travellers who are going to stay in your house & they will not charge you for publishing your offer.
Of course, a website owner will earn money indirectly by publishing your offer.
Your offer creates a content for website & website owner will publish others travel packages with your created content on the website.

Thus, couch-surfing is a way to find free accommodations.

Maybe this way you are supporting to any traveller.
May be the traveller will book any offer & we will get commission.
Thus, you meet a new friend, this new friend gets a space to stay & we receive a compensation for our time used for planning & writing this article.
Win Win side for everyone.
Camping
If you are a regular traveller & like to visit far away places where there is no hotels & houses, for example, you are on top of a mountain or in a desert 🏜️ or in a forest, then camping is only one option for having a place to sleep.
You can sleep under open sky as well but the best will be to sleep under a tent.
A tent ⛺ 🎪 is not very heavy, not very costly & can easily adjust in a bag.
You can find one through smart shopping 🛒🛍️.
Of course, we receive a commission on your shopping 🛒🛍️ but you will pay same amount of money whether we receive commission or not.
So why not you encourage us for such article by doing smart shopping 🛒 (Buy used or Buy new).
You can do camping in a city also at a public place such as a park, near a river, vehicle parking places, under a bridge, even at places where credit cards machines are installed & that you can find several in a city.
Of course, such places are under observation of cameras so you will not have privacy.
Sometimes police may not allow you to do camping but it depends on places & laws.
Nevertheless, a camping is a free accommodation for you.
Travel thanks to scholarships
No money for paying a travel and accommodation but you make your profile very competitive by gaining good marks in school 🏫 & university exams.
Now it is the time when you have to take benefits of these marks apart from using them only for searching a job.
Thousands of foundations, universities, financing agencies, government scholarships, internship opportunities in companies are available all over the world 🌎.
The question is to find them and submit your profile with a request of finance.
Of course, this needs your dedication & time in search & submission.
We know very well it's not a easy job but we received few amounts by this way for financing a travel.
You have to spend hours & hours in search & submission.
But it is also true if you belong to a third country, it will make for you very easy to get visa of a country from where you receive finance.
Third country people have restrictions on immigration issue.
It's totally dependent on your passport strength allowing you how many countries you can visit without visa (Visa free travel or Visa on arrival).
Advanced countries people do not have such limitations, even they have several facilities for travel from their own government, for example, their government issued health card can cover them for their health issues in most of countries.
Nevertheless, scholarships is one of the best ways to do travel free of cost.
You don't have to pay from your pocket.
School level students also can find several offers.
If you know any, you can write in comment section to help others.
May be you receive a thank you email from someone.
Of course, if you are a rich person or have money 💰 & you don't know what to do with it, you can finance a travel and/or education of someone.
We know people doing it. You can talk with us to make a plan in this regard.
You can also request event organizers such as an international conference organizers have several sources of funding and some time they provide finance to conference attendees, specially university graduate & post graduate students.
This is also one way.
Nevertheless, this financing source has limitation.
You have to spend few hours for task for which you are financed.
Maybe you will get very few days or hours for visiting nearby cities.
But something is better than nothing.
Find a girlfriend or boyfriend
Quite interesting!!! But finding a partner in another city or country is also one way to get support for your travel.
Suppose you live in Nigeria and you find your partner in Canada.
What will happen?
Someday sure you will travel to Canada to meet and live together.
We know Canadians do not have problem to travel to Nigeria due to their passport strength as well as they are economically strong.
But Nigerians may have depending whether you belong to a rich family or poor.
Nevertheless, this is one of the best approaches, it seems to us.
You can find one such partner through your activity on social media and interacting with many people.
But you have to be always careful during your interactions & selection of your boyfriend or girlfriend.
Because there are several types of people on social media & few of them seems good on social media but in real life they are bad people.
You have to take enough time, interact well & sufficient, observe closely the activity of your so called partner, generate a mutual confidence, meet virtually to family members of your partner, & once you are satisfied with everything, then you can a next step.
May be you find a real partner with opportunities to do travels.
YouTube travellers
Thousands of travellers are on YouTube. Every day YouTube travellers community is extending.
More & more people like to record their travels and post the recorded travel videos on YouTube inviting other to watch them & making a viewers community big & big by day & day.
Many of these travellers become famous & popular for providing details of a travel including what problem one can face a travel route. There are very good bond among these travellers.
Many of them help travellers of other city or country in visa application by providing invitation letter or whatever documents or administrative procedure required from hosting city or country & they support the invited travellers during travel & accommodations etc.
Of course, you have to be a famous YouTube travellers publishing vlogs of travels continuously.
You can also do same from your side. In this case your expenditure for visiting a city or country is very minimum.
Tour industry sponsorship
Tour industry is vast and progressively growing day by day because more & more people are entering in a community of travellers with wish to visit a different cultures, cities & countries.
Competition is very high among tour providers companies.
Tons of tour companies we can find on internet with many offers attractive to tourists.
High demands of tour packages & competition to convince the travellers to purchase a tour package is in favour of travellers. Because they need to do marketing & publicity of their tour offers.
This makes a chance to get tour industry sponsorships.
They assign you a task to do such as writing an article based on your travel explaining everything & mentioning time to time the name of brand & tour offers in the article or creating vlog of your tour or reviewing a hotel, flight journey etc whatever your sponsoring company is offering to clients.
This is also approach to do free travel without spending money.
