Tip: What's your best advice for saving money...?

Expert Tip

What's your best advice for saving money when booking summer vacation?

Book early and try to fly before June 15th, when most schools get out.

Stick to your plans so you don’t have to pay date change fees. Go on an organized tour if your vacation is less than one month – you can maximize what you see and save yourself from making expensive travel mistakes.

This Month's STA Travel Expert is Sarah Parks	What countries have you traveld to?	What was your most memorable travel moment or experience?	What is your ultimate backpacking trip?
Sarah has been with the Portland, Oregon Branch for 10 YEARS this March.	Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, French Polynesia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Japan, Hong Kong, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Belize, Mexico, UK, Rep. of Ireland, France, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Italy, Spain, Greece, Czech Rep., Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Russian Fed., Finland, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Bahamas.	There have been many, but one of recent best was hanging out with this little Cambodian boy at the land mine museum near Siem Reap.	I can’t wait to go to Africa! I’d make my way from Capetown to Namibia and then move on to Lake Victoria/Victoria Falls. I’d love to see chimps and gorillas in Rwanda/Uganda and then finish by relaxing in Zanzibar.
