as much of the world as possible. Since hitting the road in 2013,
they've had their passports stamped in 64 different countries.

of the easiest ways to save money while traveling is to make sure
you're not paying to withdraw money," says Hannah Lukaszewicz. "Pick a
bank that has no international transaction fees and refunds all ATM
fees—my bank, Charles Schwab, refunds all my ATM fees at the end of the
month, and charges no fees."

On Finding Deals: "I
like to start researching trips using Skyscanner's 'flexible'
destination option to see where can I get to the cheapest. Then, I look
to regional low-cost airlines for flying around the area."

On Splurging:
"When choosing a destination, I like to look at flights, activities,
food, and accommodation costs. If I find affordable accommodations, I'll
splurge on a flight to get me to an exotic destination."

On the Most Affordable, Incredible Experience:
"The most affordable experiences would have to be in Southeast Asia.
The biggest expense will most likely be the flight, but once you're
there, accommodation, food, and activities can be found at
super-affordable prices. I still remember the amazing beach bungalow we
had on Koh Lipe Thailand for only $30 a night."

Single Piece of Advice for Wannabe Travelers: "Next
time you want a new jacket, or go to Starbucks, think about saving that
money for travel instead. The things you buy are just things—but the
experiences you have traveling will stay with you forever."

On Saving Money:
"Bring granola bars to keep you from gorging on expensive meals," says
Ramos, "and make a cheat sheet of average food/drink/tip prices in the
local currency, so that you don't accidentally overspend!"
On Finding Deals: "For flights, I typically use Skyscanner; for hotels, in all honesty, I use Google search, and then its map feature."
On Splurging:
"Splurging usually occurs when the cheaper option is just too much of a
hassle, or if I'm beyond exhausted and stressed, and really need some
good rest and a nice shower. I will also splurge if an area I need to
stay in doesn't seem safe—or if it's the only option near an airport.
I've become really good at figuring out local transportation, but I will
definitely splurge to upgrade to nicer train cabins or seats, which
usually costs only a few dollars more, and is definitely worth it."
