Their guides to Iran and Armenia are particularly enlightening for those looking to head somewhere off the beaten path.
Alex and Sebastiaan’s Favorite Budget Travel Tip:
“Go Couchsurfing! It’s a great way to meet new people while saving money. You don’t have accommodation costs, and in more hospitable countries, people will insist on paying for additional expenses as well and may even find it offensive if you offer to pay!”

As a reader, you have the option to translate their travel blog into your local language, which is pretty neat!
Chloe and Zeyu’s favorite budget travel tip:
“When booking a ticket we highly recommend you either go on the internet through a private browser or delete your cookies when you switch websites multiple times. Every single time you go back to the same website the prices of the tickets will increase, as many people don’t know about this hack they just pay the price anyways.”

Henriette and Elmer’s Favorite Budget Travel Tip:
Try to travel and live as a local. It’s a cheap way of travelling and a great way to experience the culture and vibes of a country. Volunteering can also be a nice way to extend your travels using websites such as www.workaway.com

If you are looking for a “perfect” travel family to follow, now is the time to leave because Dani and John’s blog gets “real” about life, travel, and living as an interracial couple. Through their travels, Bermuda has been one of their most open and accepting cultural experiences. The Dominican Republic? Not so much and security actually tried to kick Dani out of their hotel’s private beach under the assumption she was a prostitute! As couple travel bloggers, Dani and John’s suggestion to other interracial couples looking to travel is to be strong and not to let other’s comments of ignorance and prejudice stop you from seeing the world.
Dani and John’s Favorite Budget Travel Tip:
Since we have two young kids, our favorite tip is to tweak what you do in each country by what is free for kids, places where kids stay/eat free, etc. For couples traveling with no little ones, our tip is to let the sales/deals determine your adventure. So…maybe you want to head to Paris this fall, but an airfare glitch gets you a sweet deal to Iceland…change plans accordingly! Be open to the adventure vs a rigid itinerary!

14. Travel Alphas
Maddy [American] and Mauricio [Mexican] are an adventure-obsessed couple who met as four-year-old kindergartners! Traveling is their passion, and eating is their favorite past time [don’t you love them already?!] So far, they have traveled to over 30 countries and countless cities. Most of the countries they visit are friendly to mixed-race couples and they have only experienced a little stereotyping from Hispanic populations. Their blog brings you travel information about popular destinations from New York City to Paris but also focuses on lesser-known destinations in South America. They often partner with travel and lifestyle brands to bring you honest reviews of the latest and greatest [or not so great] travel products.
Maddy and Mauricio’s Favorite Budget Travel Tip:
“Our favorite budget travel tip has to be using hotwire.com. We aren’t into staying at hostels, we are more interested in staying at luxury 4 and 5-star hotels. One way we are able to do this is by using hotwire.com, which allows you stay at 4 and 5-star hotels for affordable prices!”

15. Follow Me Away
Shameless self-promotion [don’t hate us!] We are in the business of putting our own unique spin on travel photography and strive to inspire others to try new things and break barriers. For us, France and Iceland were very accepting countries to visit, but we experienced something at least slightly negative everywhere else we went. For example, in Ireland someone shouted a racial slur at us on the street and in Vienna an elderly woman drove her eyes into us without blinking for at least 10 minutes straight. Our advice to other interracial couples looking to travel would be to not let anything to stop you! It may get tiring to deal with, but the opportunity to see the world with your partner is worth it!
Victoria and Terrence’s Favorite Budget Travel Tip:
Live within your means and make wise transportation decisions! If you have lots of time and are traveling on a budget, choose the 5-hour bus ride [with free wifi] that costs $17 instead of the 3-hour train ride for $55. Two extra hours won’t hurt and you will save lots of money!
