"In some ways, I think travel is about learning how to see, learning how to pay attention. It's an alarm clock in some ways, and it's a jumpstart to putting our senses on the setting where they're universally receptive. I think theoretically we could do that at our homes, and yet somehow, surrounded by familiarity and the routine we know too well, our eyes tend to close and we don't notice the things that are so wondrous for a visitor. But as soon as we physically start moving we awaken to the beauties around us." --Pico Iyer

Wanna save on your travel costs?

November 20th 2006 09:12
I know that I have written about this site before, but I thought it needed a post of its own. When we travel one of our biggest travel expenses is getting from place to place. Rental cars are really expensive and using buses and trains can sometimes leave you a little frustrated with waits and delays. Along with that there is also seeing that perfect photo opportunity passing by and not being able to stop.
A lot of people will hire cars/campers for a one way journey and during peak seasons this can be a problem with car shortages at various outlets. So they have come up with the brainstorm of campervan relocations. This is a great way to get some cheap transport, especially if you are on a tight budget. Although you have a time frame to keep to and you can`t be too picky about where you go you can pick up a rental for as little as a dollar a day. And let`s face it when you are travelling anywhere is good so why not get there on a deal like this? 4 people travelling together? That leaves it at 25c each per day for your car rental! Score! You get a great deal and they get their campercan/car back in time for the next rental without the hassle of sending one of their staff to get it - everyone is happy.

For the latest rental deals check out the following site to find your bargain hire car:
www.waywardbus.com.au
and do a search for relocation rentals.

as someone who is about to start their international travelling experiences, i just wanted to thank you for the informative site.
as a post script to this blog, i thought id add that if you join a teaching english overseas program like tesol, you can visit up to around 80 countries, work 15-20 hours a week and earn up to 3-4 grand a month.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for that, glad you find it of some use and great to have you stop by. I have looked into doing that myself and it looks like a really great opportunity to see the world whilst not having to do the regular mundane backpacker jobs that we find ourselves in.
Over the next few days I will post up the info that I have on these programmes.
Good luck with your travels, I hope they are as rewarding as mine have been.
Ash
