Resort life paid with points by travel “hacking”!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Before there was travel hacking, the best way to budget travel was backpacking! Backpacking is a way to save a ton of money and see so many places. All you need to get started with backpacking is literally a backpack and some money to get going. From there you have options to stretch your money by taking cheap public transportation, sleeping in hostels, having inexpensive meals on the road and even earning some cash along the way to extend your travels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you add kids into the mix, however, backpacking doesn\u2019t seem so enticing anymore…You probably don\u2019t want to be sleeping with strangers in the same room, you most likely have a lot more gear <\/a>to be carrying, and paying per person for transportation will often make it so that it actually is more worthwhile to rent a car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’ve gotten used to being able to travel on the cheap, then here’s how you can continue doing so with kids in tow. It’s a not so secret hobby called travel hacking. Read on for how to get started “hacking” miles and points so that you can travel with kids without breaking the bank!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
