FREE Travel + Leisure magazine subscription!

Although nearly every hotel and restaurant mentioned in Travel + Leisure magazine is out of my price range, I subscribe to the publication for a reason – I enjoy making these fancy-smanchy destinations a reality by searching out deals on my own. The magazine definitely caters to the upper-class tourist, but the destinations highlighted in each issue are reachable if you are budget savvy!

FREE admission to your National Parks – April 22-26, 2013

My husband and I share a love for America’s beautiful and unique national parks. The National Park Service manages 401 (and counting) parks all over the US. These places range from flagship parks such as Yellowstone and Great Smoky Mountains to gems such as Hot Springs National Park in Arkansas – the smallest national park in the system!

While a handful of National Park Service properties are free, most charge admission. I’ve paid anything from a few dollars up to $25 at Yellowstone. Great news for fellow park enthusiasts – admission fees to all parks will be waived from April 22-26, 2013 in honor of National Park Week.

Pu’uhonua O Honaunau National Historical Park in Hawai’i will offer free admission from April 22-26, 2013 as part of National Parks Week.

Traveling on Valentine’s Day? Take advantage of some freebies!

Free travel guides

When planning a trip I typically visit numerous tourism bureau websites and fill out countless forms requesting free vacation guides, road maps, and coupons. Lately, I’ve opted for free travel guides over destination guidebooks from the mega publishers. I like the free vacation guides for a couple reasons:

1) I am a visual person and often the free travel guides have dynamic photography vs. the black-and-white layout of the guidebooks;

2) Rather than hauling around a large guidebook in my backpack, I can simply take along the smaller vacation guide – or even just rip out pages of interest.

How do I find free travel guides?

Through the website Travel Guides Free, you simply fill out one form for everything. It saves a lot of time that can be dedicated to finding your next deal, whether it’s on transportation, lodging, or dining.

Travel Guides Free a great resource. Give it a try!
