Frugal Traveling with the NYT Elaine Glusac #625

Everyone loves to travel! Who doesn’t enjoy exploring a new country, tasting new and interesting foods, diving into the history and culture of a new city? Or if you’re less adventurous, at the very least kicking back and living like a local might sound appealing to you. But the problem is that it’s too expensive to travel!... Or so you think. This is why we’re excited to have Elaine Glusac, who is also known as The Frugal Traveler over at the NYT, joining us on the podcast today. We’re going to discuss the tricks to book the most affordable flights, if it’s frugal or cheap to go with the discount airlines, Elaine’s favorite under the radar destinations, her advice for traveling with kids, and plenty more today!   Want more How To Money in your life?
