Are you wondering if there is such a things as a free vacation? If you are, then let me tell you that there isn't. On the other hand, let me tell you that there is such a thing as free accommodation.
The travel agency who called you will inform you that they are currently offering a free vacation package or they say you won free plane tickets to an exotic location. You hear about this all the time and usually you also find out after the fact that it was all some sort of travel or vacation scam.
You know the hazards of not taking that much needed time off and the economy is bad and you are also already hesitant to go away on vacation. So you book your trip, you pay your deposit, you hop on a flight, and your nightmare begins! Do not let this happen to you!
Sometimes, you unknowingly provide them with the information that they need to contact you even if you hear about them. What you do is fill out a form, enter a draw, buy some sort of lottery ticket, or just fill out a questionnaire and all of a sudden there they are on the other end of the line trying to relieve you of your hard earned money. Of course, there are ways of saving a significant amount of money on your family vacations but don't be fooled since nothing is free.
You may be aware that in many countries, free lodging are offered for free to travelers. While others do it because they believe that they can benefit from knowing you and your culture, there are some cultures that do that because of religious and charitable beliefs. If you want to get free accommodation, then one of the most common places would be Monasteries in countries like Italy, France and Spain. Several monastic orders define hospitality/charity as one of their vows and they are only too happy to accommodate us for a night or two. Remember, these monasteries are usually in the rural areas and you may still need to give them a token gift but it's a wonderful lesson for our family to see how people can live with so little "stuff" and still be contented in life. With this stay, your family may even save millions later in life because of the lessons learned in frugality.
Another thing you should always remember is to use their resources sparingly and leave the rooms as clean as they were before your family used it and remember to give them an offering, whether it's a few dollars or an item of clothing, or perhaps a blanket or afghan.
