How I afford designer items and traveling

It’s called Treasure Hunting ✨ ✈️ 👗

𝐓𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐇𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐅𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐨𝐧

Never Pay Full Price

I score most of my items either at sample sales, clothing swaps or thrift stores.

Where? I Googled It

Explore Flights: google.com/flights

Map View: google.com/travel/explore

▪️ Google Flights compares all airlines and curates the best options. It is (in my opinion) the best search engine to use to find the BEST deals.

▪️I find the cheapest way to get to Europe by using the map view. I flew multi-city on my honeymoon to save money on getting to Europe. I used the Map View to find a $265 one way ticket to the AZORES - direct! It jumpstarted our adventure and became one of the highlights of our honeymoon.

▪️Use the google calendar view to compare dates and find the cheapest time to fly - usually during the week.

▪️(Boston) Usually flying to the following countries are the cheapest ways to get to Europe: Ireland, Portugal, and England

▪️Pack light, save big. I usually pack just a backpack to save on baggage fees. I roll all of my styles with 3 rubber bands per item.

▪️ Small planes, big savings. When in Europe, it is very affordable to bounce around to different countries. Europe has several budget airlines that offer cheap flights within the continent. Research and compare prices from Ryan Air, Easy Jet & others. Keep in mind that budget airlines often have strict baggage policies, so pack light or be prepared to pay extra for checked baggage.

Cheers to having it all ✨🥂
