We all have that one dream holiday; the destination that sits at the very top of your travel bucket-list. Perhaps it’s the white-washed walls of Greece, the snow-capped peaks of Switzerland, or the endless plains of Africa.

No matter your dream, to help you make it a reality, here are 12 of our favourite suggestions to help you save money for your dream trip:

Turn your nights out to nights in

Whether that be games night, movie night or wine night, have each guest bring a snack to share with the group.

Take advantage of happy hour
