Going to travel the world or a particular region is the dream of many people. But many obstacles prevent such a project from being carried out. Money is the most frequently mentioned barrier. However, there are ways to successfully finance the trip of your dreams. Some tracks.
Going to the other side of the world to discover a country often seems an inaccessible dream, especially because of the cost of such a project. But by thinking and organizing your trip well in advance, it is possible to find solutions to finance the trip of your dreams.
First by saving money every month 1 to 2 years before departure. Even small amounts set aside on a regular basis can ultimately add up to a sizeable nest egg. You also have the option of opening a savings account specially dedicated to your trip with a bank or financial institution. You regularly invest money in it which, thanks to an interest rate, even if it is most often low, allows you to recover in the end a slightly higher sum than that actually set aside. Some banks offer travel savings accounts, often in partnership with travel agencies, which also offer the possibility of obtaining advantageous rates on accommodation, flights, train tickets, etc.
Then, if the savings thus made are not enough to finance the trip of your dreams, you can use a loan, and in particular revolving credit. This type of credit allows you to have at your disposal a sum of money that can be used for any expenses, including those related to the trip of your dreams, and does not require any particular formality for its opening. You repay your credit in monthly installments. In addition, most of the time, a revolving credit is associated with a bank card which allows you to dedicate this sum of money only to your trip.
When the realization of your trip takes shape and is partly financed, you can consider renting your accommodation during your absence. This rental allows you to obtain a source of income during your trip.
Being able to make the trip of your dreams is obviously a pleasure. You can also choose to associate your trip with a particular theme which can allow you to obtain funds to be able to finance it.
Thus, a trip placed on the theme of humanitarian aid, ecology, culture, sport, etc., gives you the advantage of being able to seek sponsors or partners who may have an interest in financing all or part of your journey. For this, you must present an attractive and solid project that highlights the usefulness and strength of your initiative. Addressing a sponsor to cover part of the expenses of your trip, however, involves communicating about your project, for example by creating a website that you will update as your stay progresses.
For those who wish to make the trip of their dream associated with a particular theme, it is also possible to benefit from travel grants granted by certain local authorities, by the Ministry of National Education, Sports or other bodies such as example Expé scholarships for trips related to the mountains, rock climbing, trekking or rock climbing. These travel grants are generally intended for young people, but some are aimed at all audiences and represent a good way to complete the financing of the trip of your dream.
