Escape Plan And Discover The World



Cheap airfare and frequent flyer miles are just the beginning.

Escape Plan's airfare tricks and tactics are worth the purchase price alone. Luckily for you there's much, much more...

Figure out your possibilities. If you don't know what's possible for you, all your dreams of travel are likely to remain just that; dreams.

There's so much to do and see that most people deciding to travel don't realize the potential in front of them, or are overwhelmed by it. Escape Plan can help you with finding a job overseas or quitting one you already have and taking off. It will let you know which countries you can afford to go to, for how long, and what quality of life you can expect there. Don't set limits, discover them.

The nuts and bolts of World Travel. Cut through the million and one minor irritations that are part and parcel of travel. Escape Plan explains what really matters: what to pack and how much, cell phone plans, insurance coverage, visas and residency, what vaccinations you'll need, and anything else you have to know. The rest you can forget about.

How to cope when things go wrong. Don't let fear of the unknown stop you from getting on a plane. Escape Plan busts myths about some so-called 'dangerous' countries, shows you how to avoid getting robbed or taken advantage of, and lets you know what to do if it happens anyway.

Bugs in the system. Take advantage of loopholes in airline booking websites to add an extra leg to your journey for free, or learn how google translate will change how you search for flights forever.

Around the world in 80 days. Or more, if you like. Round the world fares are perfect for the traveler who wants to cram in as much variety as possible for the cheapest fare. Escape Plan breaks down when to use them and who offers the best deal.

Frequent flyer miles, without the flying. Learn how you can stack up frequent flyer miles without getting off the couch. Then convert those miles into free airfare.
Location, location, location. The accommodation you choose is likely to have the single biggest effect you have on the experience of your trip.

Whether you want a nice hostel, to get an apartment near where locals live, or if you're trying to find a luxury hotel, your experience in a country is going to differ dramatically. Escape Plan will show you how to find the best place no matter what you choose.

How to find local friends anywhere you go. As you've probably heard or experienced before, despite all the amazing monuments, hair-raising adventures, and eye-opening experiences, the people you meet are usually the most memorable and life-changing part of travel. Escape Plan teaches you how to make friends the world over.

Don't let it get you down. People don't talk about this much but travel can be tough. The stress of being away from your home, friends and family, combined with the challenges of new cultures, a foreign language and a lack of routine means a little loneliness is inevitable.
