11) Eat in Local Restaurants
One of the best ways to have an authentic travel experience and save money is to eat at local restaurants. This is especially true in other countries. Often, global chain restaurants will be in tourist areas and can charge high prices. Small, lesser-known eateries can often be more affordable. Additionally, you can definitely get a better taste of local flavors by trying out these restaurants. It may be helpful to ask some locals about the best places to eat. You may even come across some food unlike anything else you can find. This is an especially good way to eat if you are open to trying new things. However, if you have dietary restrictions, make sure to ask before ordering. Different cultures may use ingredients you are unfamiliar with, so you should be aware of that.
