Traveling isn’t a cheap hobby, and many people feel like they can’t fit it into their budget, but Chelsea Dickenson is here to change that. She’s the mastermind behind the travel blog Cheap Holiday Expert, and she’s taking the world by storm with her budget-friendly, tried-and-tested travel hacks.
Dickenson had been slightly obsessed with booking cheap holidays long before she found viral success, but her decision to spend a year booking as many cheap holidays as she could was a turning point.
“This ‘obsession’ kicked off a year-long challenge where I tried to see how many holidays I could do for half the price the average Brit spends in a year. What ensued was ten incredible getaways that included staying in a $1.7 million apartment in New York, a free 2-week stay in Paris, and even a business class flight to Benidorm,” she wrote on her official website.
Those days are long behind her, and she went on to become a huge social media sensation, with over 500,000 followers across several social media platforms. Her travel blog became a hub for people trying to put a budget-friendly twist on their travels, and it will teach you how to pack light, find cheap flights, ask for a free room upgrade, and everything else in between.
