Most travelers look for deals to go to faraway exotic places around the world. If you really travel to those exotic faraway places, they realize that local residents in the exotic are willing to travel to distant places as well, and sometimes far-way place can be your backyard!

What is exotic for a traveler may be a common place to another. Everything is in our attitude. As families get bigger and expand to meet our expenses enormous proportions, many people decide they can not afford any vacation!

Our family almost decided that we can not afford to take vacations more until the college graduate children so when an advertisement on the website caught my attention. That was offering fantastic getaway in the mountains virgins in the center of my city! Oh well, I thought, if people are willing to try these mountains in my backyard of thousands of dollars, I'll try to get a good deal and go see for ourselves what all the fuss! Maybe there is something there that I knew nothing.

And it was wonderful! And the best part is that we have done for 120th of the great bargain that web sites are offered for! Now that's an amazing holiday!

So here are some tips to finding that great deal, right in your backyard

1. Look for ads in local newspapers. Usually, there are more announcements on Thursday and Friday, and pages and pages of ads in the Sunday travel section. There are advertisements for local parks, cabins, RV rentals, hiking, meditation retreats in the mountains unspoiled.

2. Get a map of their city (or country if the people are too small). Look through the maps of national parks, waterfalls, streams, creeks, mountains with a lot of trails, caves or underground

3. Go to the local train station and see if they have tours that take you around town, village or neighboring villages. At times, neighboring towns have local fairs, market days, crafts, theater, theater, cinema, competitions, etc. Be nice to your or your children. The local cross-country trip by train in our area is supposed to be the best in the world. We are planning to go on that trip in the autumn when the leaves put on a great show.

4. Go to the local bus station and see what they offer. You can even give you some coupons to use at tourist stops en route. Some of the bus rides are roller coasters for kids.

5. Local museums are a wonderful resource for tourists. Again, you can find information about other tourist attractions in the city.

6. Its tourist office or visitor center is another source of information. Generally, there are agents that can give you sitting coupon books, detailed maps, tips on what sites you can see, the timing and rate information as appropriate to pay. Do not tell them you are a local and they will give more attention ;-)

7. Local travel agency can give you the run down on all the interesting places you can go in 50 or 100 miles around your city. They may be able to organize your trip, but you will save money by organizing it on your own.

8. Local schools are taking the kids to fun places in tours. Learn more about these places and see if you can take the family to spend the day.

9. Search outside peak tourist season when most of the attractions are hurting business. You can choose to go on a day when the weather cooperates, and be able to enjoy the rides and attractions without a lot of people.

10. Using your own car helps save the cost of transport. If you are traveling by train or bus, you can not use your vehicle. You can also go to the mountain bike, climb mountains, stroll along the valleys, or prepare a picnic for the family that can be enjoyed at any park in your area.

11. Let the internet tell you what your country is famous. Go to any site as httpwww.tourvacationstogo.com and in the left pane, click on the continent or country. Reduce as much as possible and see all the trips that are offered to thousands of dollars! Incredible, is not it A trip in your backyard can cost a lot! Yes, tourists are willing to spend a lot to come to see their country, while going to foreign countries paying thousands of dollars! J get the drift

12. You can take a bit of camping gear and spend the night sleeping under the stars. Dining by the fire, singing songs, dancing around the fire telling each other stories in the dark. These are some of the ways in which families can meet and have a quality time. Some of my neighbors allow their children to pitch tents in the backyard and pretend you are camping in the desert.

If you go on day trips, you can save money on accommodation. If you prefer to spend the night in this location, be sure to get local citizen discounts. You are already paying taxes for the maintenance of these sights anyway!

You can also collect some of their relatives and friends and make a holiday in a group that later can become a monthly or yearly ritual. If you rent a larger vehicle, you can go to many sacred places and monuments of our country, while teaching their children about their heritage and instill in them a sense of pride in their culture.

In our haste to rush out and exotic places, we forget that all may live in surprising places. A desert is a beautiful place for people who live in a place covered with ice and the ocean is a beautiful place for people living in the mountains.
