Millennials are frugal and concerned about their futures but also value seeing the world up close and personal. Experiences should not come at the cost of a growing bank account so it’s awesome that there are great resources for saving money on travel and making going on a trip or vacation more affordable. Of course, you don’t have to be a Millennial to take advantage ^_^
