Shereen has a travel blog that is fun to follow although you have to be prepared to weed through the commercial sponsors information. I suppose that's another good way to get you to buy the book. Ease of Use Depending on what your trip is about , a romantic honeymoon, or a vacation for the family she has some good money saving trips that applies to everyone. Features A little to heavy on the paid sponsors to make me feel comfortable but if you can wade through the advertisements then there is a lot of great information. I like her no nonsense, practical point of view. She offers sound advise and I suspect pretty down to earth ideas of spending money. We do the suites at the hotel that has a working kitchen and separate bedroom so that we can eat in some meals. We find that we save quite a bit on food and when we are tired, we don't have to go out and whatever we fix beats another fast food burger. Customer Service You can sign up to follow Sherene on her blog that shares a lot of great money saving tips. I ordered her book. I figured that I would get enough money saving tips to pay for it..

I was really hopeful when I first stumbled upon this website. My husband and I are on a tight budget but really love to travel. This website is directed towards those exact type of people. It is a website with tips on how to travel on a budget. However, I was a little disappointed by this website. It has some tips on how to save money when traveling, but it did not offer me anything that I did not already know. It also seemed to be more interested in ways to gain sponsors than offer tips. I spent a lot of time exploring this website to try and find some tips to save money. However, I left it feeling like I had not learned much at all. I probably would not use this website again. Ease of Use It is pretty well organized. It has a lot of sections and ads on it. Features I did not find the features I was looking for. I was hoping for a ton of traveling cheap tips and tricks. However, I did not find anything I did not already know.

I sign up for the giveaways all the time, but don't get very many entries as I'm not into the social media craze like it seems other people are nowadays. There is many other features on this site that I haven't mentioned, and so this deserves at least a nine on it's rating. Ease of Use There is a variety of different information on this blog about the different types of destinations you can travel. I love the fact that it focuses on getting the most out of your money, and as the name of the website states you can travel for cheap. Shereen gives you a lot different ideas of where you can go that is actually more affordable. There are many different places that I would have never even thought of visiting. Places that aren't only quite beautiful, but also more affordable than other popular locations. If you haven't tried Shereentravelsforcheap.com, then you're missing a great travel website. It's actually a blog, which is great because it's full of her own personal experiences. In my opinion, this was much more useful information than many of the traveling websites out there. You can steal snag a great deal on other travel websites, but stop by here to gather useful information before you decide your destination. Features This site gives not only gives you ideas of where you can travel, but also provides product reviews, has giveaways that you can sign up for, tips before you travel and a host of other ways to save your money. I sign up for the giveaways all the time, but don't get very many entries as I'm not into the social media craze like it seems other people are nowadays. There are many other features on this site that I haven't mentioned, and so this deserves at least a nine rating. Customer Service Shereen also offers travel planning packages that are really affordable for the amount of information you will receive from her. I think the cheapest package is eight dollars, and the highest is about fifty dollars. It's more affordable than hiring a travel agent, and in my opinion just as helpful as hiring an agency.

Overall, this is a nice website that offers some great blog posts and information. It is one of the few sites out there that focus on how to use all the other sites in order to get the best deal rather then trying to be a deal site on its own. I like that the blog posts are seasonally focused. For example, in the summer there are a lot of posts about how to save money on holiday, beach and honeymoon travel since all of those things are extremely popular.and in the fall it was about finding deals for getting home for the holidays and holiday traditions. Lots of great information. The down side is that ultimately, it is about selling the book by the same name. So while there is a lot of useful information, some of the items direct you to how to buy the book. Also, since it is a blog, it is about personal opinions and experiences, so you may not like the stye of writing and information. Overall, though, a fun addition to the travel websites out there. Ease of Use It is easy to search by topic and date. Features The site has limited features, but that is because the nature of the site is fairly limited.
