DIY Travel is all about independent budget travel & getting the most value out of your time & money
From accommodation to attractions & transport, with a little bit of research, almost everything can be done by yourself.
However sometimes DIY travel isn’t worth the hassle & even impossible – in those case, we’ll recommend taking a tour.
On this site, each post/attraction will be rated based on the ease of DIY Travel – to help you travel longer for less. All the world. All the time.
