TRAVELING BY BUS

🚌TRAVELING BY BUS ðŸšŒ

Hey Friends!

If you follow my Instagram (goldxheartx) you would have followed my recent stories related to traveling via bus. 

I love going on vacations (short or long) therefore I enjoy taking advantage of any form of traveling whether it is via plane, train, road trip or now by bus. Yes, I have had a chance to go on a bus trips in my teenage years but it was not at my own leisure, it was planned by others! 

As you may already know my goal is to encourage and inspire others to travel on a budget so I needed to share this cheap way to travel with you all!

In the last 2 months, I have taken the Greyhound bus and Megabus. 

In December 2019, it was my first time taking a Greyhound bus and it was comfortable, convenient and cheap. I traveled from Ottawa to Toronto for only 40$ CAD and the trip was 4.5 hours as it made 1 stop on the way!

On Cyber Monday 2019, Megabus gave away free bus tickets in Canada and the USA and I was able to score a round trip from Toronto to Halifax for a weekend in January 2020 FOR FREE!  Yes, you read that right 0$!

In January 2020, Megabus had the same deal again with specific travel dates to specific destinations. I often see Megabus’ on the road and advertisements that indicate that they have one way trips as low as 1$!

If you are looking to travel from one state, city or town to another for free or a cheap rate I would definitely recommend that you take the bus. Less money you have to spend on driving your own car, paying for gas and parking 😀

Pros: Wi-Fi, comfortable seats, bathrooms on board and clean. You can also purchase tickets and snacks at the departure station. 

Cons: You will most likely be sitting next to someone. You do have the option to reserve seating for a fee, otherwise it is first come first serve.


Sit back, relax with a good book or show!

Money Saving Tips

The  #1  thing people always ask me is how can you afford so many trips ?! 😨 Well definitely you need a source of income to be able to travel but what I always find helpful is using the following tips to save cost before and during my vacations: 1. Booking flights Some people may beg to differ but I find the best time to find the cheapest flights are on Tuesday or Wednesday evenings. It is also known that the cheapest days to travel are during the weekdays. I personally use specific websites for booking flights as although they are third party websites, they determine the cheapest flights with most airlines. The top websites I use for flights are: skyscanner.ca or expedia.ca All inclusive vacations: tripcentral.ca or selloffvacations.com (there are walk-in locations across Canada as well). Also, for all of you that live in Toronto or nearby, I follow YYZdeals.ca - sign up for their email alert on cheap flights all around the world. There are always cheap fli

Solo Traveling Tips

Hey Friends! I felt it was so important to make a blog post about solo traveling as so many people have asked me how do I do it! I personally enjoy solo traveling as it gives me the opportunity to explore and move at my own pace. As nice as it is to have company on vacation, I love knowing that I can do what I want, when I want! I just got back from a solo trip to Atlanta and San Francisco and many family/friends/followers have asked me for solo traveling tips which I will share with you all below.  First thing's first, it is soooo important to do your research prior to traveling solo.  If I am traveling somewhere solo for the first time, I do the following: 1.       Research the safest places to travel solo. 2.       Once I choose my destination, I do a thorough online search of areas that may NOT be safe to be during my vacation.  3.       I search for different accommodation options; some people like hostels that way they can meet new

Welcome to Travel Niche Kish 💗

Hey Friends! Welcome to My Blog Travel Niche Kish ! I decided to start a blog to document my travel journey that began 8 years ago to share my memories and ideas with the world. Yes, I have traveled to places prior to 8 years ago, but traveling really became my passion after traveling for a girls trip to Cuba in 2011.  To date, I have had the opportunity to travel to 12 countries and 16 US States solo, with friends and/or with family. Every time my friends or family are planning a trip, they always ask me where they should go, what hotel/resort they should choose and what things can they do/see while on vacation. I must say, I am not an expert on all of the places I have traveled to but I definitely have learned  A LOT  in every place. I have always been encouraged by my friends and family to share my experiences, photos and ideas - therefore I have decided to create a blog doing just that :) In my blog, I will be sharing my past travel locations, hotels/resorts, attraction
