The financial benefits of slow travel for digital nomads

Mar 11

The idea of traveling slowly is appealing to many people. And while it may be difficult to imagine, it's also financially beneficial for digital nomads and anyone else who wants to travel with less stress and expense. Slow travel can help you save money on your flights, accommodations, and more – not only because you'll be spending less time in transit but also because you'll have fewer things to charge throughout your journey.

Traveling slowly is more affordable.

Slow travel is easier on your wallet.

When you're traveling slowly, you'll be able to stay longer in one place--and that means more time to experience the local culture and save money on accommodation. It also means fewer transportation costs (since you won't have to keep moving). And if you're staying somewhere with an Airbnb or a hostel, slow travel allows for cheaper rates because they can fill up their rooms longer than they would otherwise be able to do if everyone were just passing through town.

You may not need a full-time job while traveling.

If you're a digital nomad and are able to work remotely, the benefits are obvious: You can live anywhere in the world and still make money. You could even travel for months at a time without ever needing to stop working or find an apartment. While this may sound like an ideal situation for those who want their careers and lives to be completely separate from one another, it's not always easy on everyone involved-- especially if your partner doesn't share your vision for travel!

For some people who have chosen a more traditional career path, however (or those who just prefer living in one place), this kind of freedom isn't always possible without sacrificing something else important in their lives--like family commitments or stability at home base while they're away on business trips all over the world. However there are ways around these challenges too...

You can plan ahead for slow-travel costs.

Planning ahead is important. It can help you save money, and the more prepared you are, the less likely it is that something will go wrong.

Once you've decided where in the world your next destination will be, start researching local prices for things like food and transportation. You'll want to know what things cost before arriving so that when they do come up as expenses, they don't catch you off guard with how much they cost--or how much cash was left over from last month's trip!

You'll have fewer things to charge.

If you're traveling with a laptop, tablet and phone, then there's a good chance that they all need charging at some point during your trip. The less devices you have to charge, the better!
You won't need to buy a new power adapter for every country (unless it's an uncommon one).
You can use your smartphone as an alarm clock - something I do every day when I'm abroad and don't want to disturb my neighbors with my loud snoring noise machine thingy (it sounds like Darth Vader).
And if everything goes wrong and all of your electronics die on day 2 or 3 of being away from home... well at least there's still that old classic: "pay for things with cash."

You'll save money on your flights, too.

Another benefit of traveling slowly is that it allows you to take advantage of cheaper flights. You can use a low-cost airline or travel during off-peak times, which can save you hundreds of dollars on your ticket.

You may also want to stay in a budget hotel or hostel instead of splurging on an expensive one--it might mean sacrificing some creature comforts, but saving money is worth it! If you're renting a car while abroad and want to cut costs even more, consider renting one from one of the many companies now offering cheap rentals (like CarRentals).

Slow travel can be more affordable and save you money.

Most digital nomads have a limited budget, so the last thing they want is to spend more of it than necessary. Slow travel can help you save money by reducing your expenses in the following ways:

You won't need to stay in expensive hotels or hostels as often because you'll be staying with locals instead. This will not only save money but also give you an opportunity to learn about other cultures and traditions firsthand rather than through books or videos on YouTube.
When traveling slowly, there's less pressure on getting from point A to point B within a certain timeframe (e.g., before an airline ticket expires). This means less stress about whether or not something will go wrong during transit--for example, if there was traffic congestion due to construction work being done near where one lives and works during rush hour traffic hours every weekday morning then maybe going out for lunch would turn into having lunch somewhere else later in order not get stuck behind construction equipment coming towards us at high speeds!

Traveling slowly is a great way to save money on your trip. You can plan ahead for slow-travel costs, which will help you budget better and avoid overspending when you're out there in the world. Plus, if you don't need a full-time job while traveling, then that means less stress about finding work as well!
