I've found the more I travel the more I'm careful about what I spend my money on. It's tempting to buy things or eat a nice meal but when I remind myself this is depleting my travel fund I usually talk myself out of it :P Alex, these are really sound tips!

Absolutely spectacular!! I decided that next year I will take 6 months off to travel, and have been counting my pennies since. I started to try saving more money in January, and was hugely successful. Living in NYC, everything can be a splurge, including morning coffee. I wrote a post in January about how I can save (http://dotsconnected.net/2011/01/10/the-saving-challenge-2011/), and since then have put $3,500 into saving, and lost $1,600/mo in income - and that's just cutting things like coffee and a breakfast tart! It's amazing how much can be saved by cutting those little things you don't really think about on a daily basis. I love this post!! Absolutely spectacular!!

Everything you say is true. My tips: street food, buying food from (cheap) supermarkets and packing your lunch for the day, even packing muesli bars or energy bars can be a real money saver, especially if you get cravings when travelling. Oh, and when going to slightly less developed countries, bring tissue or toilet paper along - can save you having to buy it when you're there at often inflated prices :) Love it.
