How to Plan a Chill, Budget-Friendly Vacation

Vacations should restore your energy, not drain your bank account or stress levels. Here’s how I plan trips that are affordable, relaxed, and actually feel like breaks.

• Choose walkable places. Less time in cars or dealing with complicated logistics means more downtime and freedom.

• Travel off-season. You’ll find cheaper rates, fewer crowds, and a more relaxed vibe.

• Pick 2–3 highlights. Instead of trying to cram in everything, focus on a few experiences that really excite you.

• Use loyalty points. If you have credit cards, airline miles, or hotel rewards, use them to cut costs.

• Schedule rest days. Don’t overbook. Your vacation isn’t a race or a mission.

The goal? Enjoy your time, recharge your spirit, and come back ready for life.
