Obviamente, es muy importante tener un refugio y un lugar para dormir por la noche, por eso queremos compartir con ustedes c\u00f3mo encontramos lugares para permanecer en la ruta, las herramientas que utilizamos y nuestra experiencia con ellos. Esto te ayudar\u00e1 a ahorrar tiempo al investigar y eliminar el costo de alojamiento, que es un tercio de los costos de viaje.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Cuando empezamos a viajar, pensamos que los \u00fanicos lugares donde terminar\u00edamos durmiendo eran hostales u hoteles, pero afortunadamente, hay m\u00e1s opciones. Hay muchas maneras de vivir gratis o con un costo m\u00ednimo, adem\u00e1s de vivir m\u00e1s como un local. Nunca hubo una noche en la que no tuvi\u00e9ramos un lugar seguro para dormir. Es posible tener alojamiento gratuito y viajar continuamente. Lo m\u00e1s importante: estar abierto a la experiencia.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Aqu\u00ed est\u00e1n las herramientas que utilizamos. Siempre buscamos los gratuitos primero y, si no tenemos suerte con el alojamiento gratuito, tambi\u00e9n enumeramos a continuaci\u00f3n las herramientas que utilizamos para encontrar alojamientos realmente econ\u00f3micos.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-facebook alignright wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-facebook\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/maptheunknown\/videos\/2087165981600992\/<\/div>\r\n<figcaption>Our best Couchsurfing experience in the Philippines<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.couchsurfing.com\/dashboard\"><strong>Couchsurfing<\/strong><\/a>: \u00a1Nos encanta hacer Couchsurfing! Es una plataforma social y una comunidad para viajeros donde podes buscar anfitriones en m\u00e1s de 200,000 ciudades de todo el mundo y solicitar quedarte en sus hogares de forma gratuita. Adem\u00e1s de ser gratuito, podes conocer a un local que puede mostrarte experiencias \u00fanicas de la ciudad. Buscamos anfitriones a trav\u00e9s de Couchsurfing en cada ciudad y pa\u00eds al que vamos. Somos rechazados m\u00e1s veces de lo que somos aceptados por varias razones (por ejemplo, host no disponible o fuera de la ciudad, usuarios inactivos, etc.) Pero solicita a m\u00faltiples hosts, en un momento el host correcto aceptar\u00e1 tu solicitud. Pasamos 1 o 2 d\u00edas simplemente aplicando a un grupo de anfitriones de Couchsurfing, as\u00ed que aseg\u00farese de asignar algo de tiempo para buscar y leer sus perfiles y aplicar al menos una semana antes para darle a los anfitriones suficiente tiempo para responder y coordinarse con vos. Couchsurfing es divertido porque puedes conocer y vivir con un local, obtener un intercambio multicultural y obtener alojamiento gratis. Hay muchos m\u00e1s consejos y trucos sobre c\u00f3mo usar Couchsurfing (por ejemplo, seguridad, creaci\u00f3n de su perfil, verificaci\u00f3n, etc.) pero lo pondremos en un art\u00edculo separado pronto.

In exchange for looking after someone&#8217;s house and pet(s) while the owner is away, you get free accommodation. And, it&#8217;s not just a couch or a bed, you get to stay in a house with the comfort of having a kitchen, living room, and if you&#8217;re lucky, your host sometimes will leave their car also with you. There are multiple websites where you can search for<a href=\"https:\/\/maptheunknown.com\/es\/THS20OFF\/\"> house sitting<\/a> opportunities but what we recommend is <a href=\"https:\/\/maptheunknown.com\/es\/THS20OFF\/\">Cuidadores de casa de confianza<\/a> Porque tiene la comunidad m\u00e1s grande del mundo. Utilizar esta <a href=\"https:\/\/maptheunknown.com\/es\/THS20OFF\/\">enlazar<\/a> to get a 20% discount on your membership. We did our first <a href=\"https:\/\/maptheunknown.com\/es\/THS20OFF\/\">house sitting<\/a> in Alaska and we had free accommodation for 2 months for free! We saved a total of $2,000 on accommodation and car rental.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><strong>Tienda<\/strong>: We never camped before in our lives and we never thought that we would until we started this travel lifestyle. We borrowed tents during the first year of our travel then we realized that it&#8217;s a really good option so we invested and bought our own tent last Christmas of 2018. For us, it is a great option to be in contact with nature, have some adventures, and to minimize the cost of living. Just a reminder to be aware of camping rules and permits. Some cities like Hawaii require a permit to camp. In our experience, the best option is to camp on private campgrounds or properties with permission from the owner of course. This way you don&#8217;t need to go through the hassle of getting a permit plus you get to meet a local, the owner, and share food and stories with them. Our first experience living in a tent was in Siargao Island, Philippines. We lived in a tent for 3 weeks for free, in front of the beach, and met a lovely and very hospitable family. Our second experience living in a tent was in Hawaii. We set up our tent inside a mango farm of a very kind family and then in a private campground by the beach. The tent became our home for a month. Watch this video about this experience. We realized that &#8220;house&#8221; is not a synonym of &#8220;home&#8221;.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-facebook alignleft wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-facebook\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/maptheunknown\/videos\/536526503475544\/<\/div>\r\n<figcaption><em>Lived in a tent for 1 month in Hawaii<\/em><\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><strong>Trabajo voluntario<\/strong>: Todos tenemos habilidades y definitivamente puedes usar tus habilidades a cambio de alojamiento y se siente bien ayudar. Pudimos obtener alojamiento gratuito en Hawai ayudando a restaurar una granja y en Filipinas ayudando a construir un albergue ecol\u00f3gico y haciendo granola. Encontramos estas oportunidades a trav\u00e9s del boca a boca, pero hay varios sitios donde puede encontrar alojamiento gratuito y, a veces, tambi\u00e9n comida a cambio de trabajo. Depende del anfitri\u00f3n, pero por lo general, se espera que realice trabajo voluntario de 4 a 6 horas por d\u00eda en d\u00edas espec\u00edficos con un m\u00ednimo de 1 semana de estad\u00eda, aunque la mayor\u00eda del tiempo los anfitriones son muy flexibles con el horario. Los sitios web famosos son <a href=\"http:\/\/www.workaway.info\">Trabajar fuera<\/a> y <a href=\"http:\/\/www.helpx.net\">Helpx<\/a>. Personalmente no hemos utilizado estos sitios, pero hemos conocido a muchos viajeros que lo han hecho y tuvieron una experiencia incre\u00edble. Estamos planeando probar esto en Sudam\u00e9rica este a\u00f1o, as\u00ed que los mantendremos informados y probablemente crearemos un video sobre esa experiencia.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Amigos y familia<\/strong>: Siempre es bueno conectarse o reconectarse con familiares y amigos de diferentes partes del mundo para que cuando viaje, siempre encuentre tiempo para enviarles mensajes y visitarlos. Recuerde que lo que realmente hace que su viaje sea memorable es el simple acto de amabilidad y las conexiones de las personas que conoce. \u00bfPor qu\u00e9 no conocer a sus amigos y familiares y crear recuerdos duraderos con ellos? Sea sincero y cont\u00e1ctelos con la intenci\u00f3n de conectarse realmente con ellos antes de pedirle que lo reciba en su viaje. Vale la pena, no por el alojamiento gratuito, sino porque las relaciones son importantes.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-facebook alignright wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-facebook\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/maptheunknown\/videos\/2083383595312564<\/div>\r\n<figcaption>Living in a remote island in The Philippines<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><strong>Boca a boca<\/strong>: We love when this magic happens! We experienced these 3 amazing experiences just from meeting locals. We were able to live for free with a very generous host family in Hawaii and we were able to live for free on two remote islands in the Philippines just by meeting people. This world is a wonderful place if you talk to people, ask, and help in return.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>When all the free accommodation options listed above doesn&#8217;t work out\u00a0then we look for the cheapest option and decide based on the purpose of our travel and our budget for that country. Most of the time we only end up having to pay for accommodation because of our own time limitation and schedule. It is important to take note that you have to be more flexible with your schedule to get better options on the free accommodations above. If you are traveling for a long-time or traveling full-time like us, then time wouldn&#8217;t be much of a constraint. Take note that traveling slowly is way much better and cheaper than traveling fast, trying to see so many sights, and doing many activities in a short time. But anyway, sometimes we have to set our limits and define specific dates and comfort that we want, so here are the other paid options that we use for accommodations. The good thing is that there are lots of online discount codes that you can use so always look out for that. Check-out some of the links below that you can use for discounted prices:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><strong>Hostels<\/strong> En pa\u00edses m\u00e1s baratos como en el sudeste asi\u00e1tico, puede obtener un valor realmente bueno por su dinero en los albergues. Puedes quedarte en un albergue por $ 3- $ 7 y algunas veces incluye el desayuno. Alojarse en albergues es una buena opci\u00f3n para conocer a otros viajeros, especialmente cuando viajas solo. Puedes conocer a personas de diferentes partes del mundo, compartir algunas excursiones, actividades y gastos y, a veces, puedes encontrarte con un buen compa\u00f1ero de viaje si ambos viajan por la misma ruta. Usamos <a href=\"https:\/\/maptheunknown.com\/es\/Booking\/\">Booking.com<\/a> o <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/\">Hostel World<\/a> Al reservar albergues, pero seg\u00fan nuestra experiencia, obtenemos mejores descuentos utilizando <a href=\"https:\/\/maptheunknown.com\/es\/Booking\/\">Booking.com<\/a> Adem\u00e1s tienen buen servicio al cliente. Utilizar esta <a href=\"https:\/\/maptheunknown.com\/es\/Booking\/\">enlazar<\/a> to get discounted prices on your next reservation with <a href=\"https:\/\/maptheunknown.com\/es\/Booking\/\">Booking.com.<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/es.airbnb.com\/c\/franc3803?currency=USD\"><strong>Airbnb<\/strong><\/a>: En algunos pa\u00edses caros de Am\u00e9rica del Norte y Europa o en algunos destinos tur\u00edsticos, Airbnb puede ser m\u00e1s barato, especialmente si viaja en pareja como nosotros. Por ejemplo, en Hawai o en la Patagonia, los albergues cuestan $ 20 por noche por persona, lo que costar\u00eda $ 40 por noche para los dos, pero puede encontrar alojamiento en <a href=\"https:\/\/es.airbnb.com\/c\/franc3803?currency=USD\">Airbnb<\/a> Por $ 28- $ 35 por noche. Termina m\u00e1s barato y tendr\u00e1s opciones para un dormitorio privado y ba\u00f1o privado. Utilizar esta <a href=\"https:\/\/es.airbnb.com\/c\/franc3803?currency=USD\">enlazar<\/a> to get a sign-up discount if it&#8217;s your first time using Airbnb.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Hotel<\/strong>: The last and easiest option is booking a hotel. This is our very last option because we would rather use our money to extend our travel for a longer period of time rather than pay for an expensive hotel. For us, we prioritize traveling and local experience over hotel services so we would only book and pay for a hotel for very specific purposes or special occasions like when we want to treat ourselves with some luxury. The good thing is that you can book hotels for free using credit card reward points, airline miles, or hotel points. We use HiltonHonors, SPG, IHG Rewards, Chase Ultimate Rewards, or American Express Membership Rewards. Using points is a whole new topic for another article so, for now, I&#8217;ll redirect you to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thepointsguy.com\/\">El chico de los puntos. <\/a>Ese sitio tiene muchos recursos que nos ayudaron a recolectar y usar puntos para nuestros viajes. Y si no queremos usar nuestros puntos para reservar un hotel, simplemente usamos <a href=\"https:\/\/maptheunknown.com\/es\/Booking\/\">Booking.com<\/a>, tiene buenos descuentos, opciones de reembolso para hoteles y un servicio al cliente confiable.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-default is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\r\n<p>Esperamos que este art\u00edculo te ayude con tus viajes y te acerque a tu sue\u00f1o de viajar por el mundo.
