How to Turn Any Trip into a Life-Changing Experience, from Travel Guru Samantha Brown

Be a traveler, not a tourist

According to Brown, it all starts with finding the destinations, experiences, and people that make you feel like you’re a part of the place you’re in, and not just a person visiting there. Often, that means letting the wind take you where it will rather than planning out every detail of your trip. “That’s part of my travel ideology—I do plan a lot, especially for the television shows that I host, but I’m a little different when I’m on my own,” Brown explains. No need to let travel costs influence your decision. Here are 10 must-nab ways to save on summer travel.
