With summer around the corner, the trip planning is beginning. Going on vacation can be pricey but here are some tips on how to save.

10 Smart Ways To Save Money On Your Next Trip

One of the world’s foremost experts on budget travel, Pauline Frommer learned the tricks of the trade from her parents, Arthur Frommer and Hope Arthur, who would go to Europe every year to research and write the legendary guidebook series Europe on $5 a Day. “I was born into travel,” she says.

Following in her parents’ footsteps, Frommer has dedicated her career to helping consumers get the most out of their vacation dollars. “When you save money, you get closer to the local life, and you can travel more,” says Frommer. “What’s better than that?”

She is acting co-president for FrommerMedia, along with her father, and is also the editorial director for the Frommer’s Guidebooks and Frommers.com. Her own series of guidebooks were named “Best Guidebook of the Year” by the North American Travel Journalist Association in 2006, 2007 and 2008.
