How to cut the cost of your holiday

In this video Guardian money editor Mr. Patrick Collinson gives different tips on how to save money during your vacation. One of the main tips is not to cash out money at the airport nor at a hotel because you lose a lot of money by doing so. In addition, he recommends not getting a travel insurance if you are visiting a country within the European Union, only if you are visiting the U.S. And he gives advices on which sites to visit to obtain affordable and trustworthy deals on travel destinations. Furthermore, he suggests to turn off the roaming of your mobile phone to prevent expensive bills.

This video was very informational for me because I like to travel a lot. I have been to different places in the world and it cost me a lot of money especially my mobile phone. Mr. Collinson suggested different sites that can be used to obtain affordable prices that I have never heard of before. The main tip that he gave that I thought was very useful was the site where you can register for around 70 pounds and you can exchange houses around the world for free. I really liked his tips and I am certainly going to make use of them.
