Here you’ll find free or cheap things to do. It is my hope that this category will help you optimize your travels. You’ll certainly enjoy more by adding destinations to your itinerary that deduct little to nothing from your travel budget. Who doesn’t like the sound of that?
Perhaps your entire itinerary can revolve around free or cheap destinations and activities? Imagine the travel potential? Some of these free or cheap destinations have so much recreational potential you could spend several days and still not experience everything.
Additionally, Things to Do is a category quite diverse in activities. There’s something enjoyable here for everyone so browse away. You’ll come across destinations that have an emphasis on history. So, if history is your thing, enjoy! You’ll come across destinations for those with hiking addictions (like me). If hiking is your thing, start planning that trip!
Perhaps you’re more into camping and sacrificing worms? If so, browse away. I love a good camping/fishing trip! No matter what your favorite activities are, it is highly likely there will be content here that’s beneficial to you.
As far as geographical locations, bear with me as I continue adding new content. I have a ton to share with you but only ten fingers with which to type.
This category will be quite large, so it has been broken into subcategories for your convenience. I hope it makes the information more accessible and user friendly.
Start planning your travels today, don’t wait until tomorrow! Wishing you many blessings and as always, SAFE TRAVELS!
