Another one of the many types of travel is when you go to visit friends and family who live abroad. Because you have someone to stay with, you are usually able to afford to stay a bit longer than you could if you were paying for accommodation.
Your friends and family abroad are always offering for you to stay, so why not take them up on the offer?
An advantage of this is that you will get the insider perspective on the culture that comes with staying with a local. The only downside is that when you are a guest in someone’s home you will not always have the freedom to explore on your own.
