		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s important to remember one key point when you are traveling: hotel/hostel/guesthouse rates are negotiable.
Most backpackers figure this out in a few days and some go overboard using it as their guiding mantra for the next year on the road. But I get a fair number of e-mails and blog comments asking, &#8220;How do I [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Having a book out on the world&#8217;s cheapest destinations makes me a bit opinionated about which countries offer the best bang for your budget. While those options stay relatively constant, there are fluctuations from year to year, or even in the space of a month sometimes. The formulas guiding economics and spending are always receiving [...]

It&#8217;s time for the March &#8216;10 issue of Perceptive Travel, where we bop around three continents, groove on some new world music, and talk about some travel books worth reading. (Or not.)
The multi-talented Zora O&#8217;Neill&#8212;who is the only person I know who has authored a cookbook and a Yucatan guidebook&#8212;has a great story on being [...]

I get quoted a fair bit in the media as a bargain travel expert, but I&#8217;m always excited when it happens in a magazine I actually subscribe to by choice. That happened this month when I was quoted in the money magazine Kiplinger&#8217;s Personal Finance. There&#8217;s a whole series of pieces on traveling better and [...]

Over the holidays one uncle of mine talked wistfully of a motorcycle trip he took in Mexico &#8220;a while back&#8221; and went on about how incredibly cheap it was to eat out, swill tequila, and follow it up with a few Mexican beer chasers for a buck or two. He has lost track of time, [...]

Near the end of 2008 the dollar was flying high as a result of governments piling into treasury bills, so hopefully you took a trip while the getting was good. I took two, getting more soles for my bucks in Peru and getting 14.5 pesos to the dollar in Mexico a year ago, close to [...]
