Find the Cheapest Flights with One Check

By being Flexible on your dates of travel, you will find the best airfares

Most websites will allow you to check multiple dates at once when you search for airfare. An example of this is Kayak.com, which will give you a whole chart comparing prices for +/- 3 days of your chosen departure and return dates. The highest and lowest prices are highlighted, and the flight options are displayed below. It's easy and simple,then, to find the best possible price, if you're willing to leave or return on a slightly different schedule.

Fearlessness Gives you the Choice to Succeed

If you want success, you have to stop being afraid and try, because then you will at least have options despite the inevitable challenges.

Perhaps you want to write a novel, perhaps you want to go to Asia, perhaps you want to get published someday, perhaps you want to be a famous travel writer...

Will these goals be hard to attain? Yes. Is it possible you'll never get them? Absolutely. Will you achieve the goal if you don't even try? No way. A lot of people settle for things that are less than what they want in life. Perhaps circumstances just get in the way: you don't have the money, your mother gets sick, you need to work. Circumstances can be valid, they are obstacles to getting our loftiest dreams, and they are hard to overcome. Yet, in most cases where there is a will, there is a way. And in most cases, big dreams are completely achievable despite obstacles.

For the most part, circumstances are just circumstances. They are just excuses. When circumstances get in the way it is because you are making an obstacle into a priority instead of putting your dreams at the top of your list. The thing that is really holding you back is yourself. It's the little voice in the back of your head saying; but what if I fail? What if I make a fool of myself? What if I wind up disappointed? Disappointment is certainly one of the worst feelings, but then again, so is regret. Sometimes you just have to weigh your options. What will you regret more failing or never trying?

If you plan a trip to Greece, for instance, but then your car breaks down and you have to spend all of your money to repair it, you can either decide to start over with saving money again, or you can say, "screw the car, I'll take the bus when I get back". Because you've made the attempt, you have options and you can prioritize. If you never save up, if you never plan to go to Greece in the first place, well then, there are never any options except to never go at all. I leave you with some quotes to inspire you to the path of fearlessness:

There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.

--Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better. What if they are a little coarse, and you may get your coat soiled or torn? What if you do fail, and get fairly rolled in the dirt once or twice? Up again; you shall never be so afraid of a tumble.

--Ralph Waldo Emerson

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

--Confucius

~C.J.

Take a New Route

You don't have to go far to discover somewhere new
You may or may not know your way around the place that you live, but in either case there is almost always more to find out. If you always take the freeway, you may be missing the inspiration of a really unique house on the corner, or the perfect writing place in the form of a park, or maybe just a surprisingly faster route to wherever it is you're going. So explore the side streets, and if you're brave enough, even the alleyways, the windy roads through the forests, and any other new routes that you haven't tried before. When you do, don't be afraid to drive a bit slow, or even pull over (it helps if you're not in a rush) and actually pay attention to your surroundings. You can plan the routes out ahead using the ever handy internet, or go at random without fear (but be sure to have your cell phone, gps, or at least and old fashioned map with you in this case)! And even though you're not going far from home, you are still having the mentality of a traveler and getting out to see new places. That's what  it's all about.

Travel by Bus in Spain

Spain is one of the few European countries with an affordable, convienent and comprehensive bus system. The ALSA network also extends to some other countries including parts of France, Garmany and Italy. The bus in Spain provides a better route than the train on some routes like Granada to Valencia along with access to the smaller cities and towns.

Here is a very cool way to use the bus in Spain. They have a pass called Kmtriko that allows 1-4 weeks of unlimited travel on buses through the country. The current prices are as follows:
1 Week                               99 Euro
7 days within 2 weeks        145 Euro
2 Weeks                            175 Euro
3 Weeks                            240 Euro
4 Weeks                            299 Euro

Depending on how many places you want to visit during your trip in Spain, this could save you a lot of money. Be sure to double check all your point to point fares as it could still be cheaper to buy them separately.
