Think of more than one course of action in reaching your destination. Sure it is convenient flying non-stop however, if you can save enormously taking that connecting flight you have just that much more to spend once you make it overseas.

A health food bar will stave off the hunger nicely. Bring a big bottle of water in order to stay hydrated and wash down your grainy snack bars. After saving money on the kiosk food, you’ll have enough for dinner at one of the rustic local establishments serving regional cuisine.

Further, by staying put, you can appreciate the local cultural aspect and enjoy your stay all the more.
