Tips for traveling like a rich person

Are you on a tight budget when it comes to traveling? Don’t worry, here are some tips from a famous travel advisor that will help you travel like a rich person .

Borrow a designer's wardrobe

Are you one of those people who buys holiday outfits and never wears them again? Then you can borrow high-end or designer pieces while you travel for great photo opportunities. If you’re traveling abroad, companies like Rent the Runway have become increasingly popular over the years, lending items from more than 750 designers for a flat monthly fee or by the rental. You can try on four items for $69—much less than buying them yourself.

Hire a professional photographer

When we go on vacation, we all want to look our best in front of tourist attractions—no wonder Anna Delvey hired all those creative helpers to accompany her to Morocco. Great photos also make your travel experience more fun and satisfying after every trip.

Join the airline club for access to first class lounges

Did you know that you don’t have to fly first class to get a first class experience on the ground? Many airlines have great loyalty programs, like Vietnam Airlines. Your points will be converted into rewards like upgrades, flights, and best of all, business class lounge access, extra baggage allowance, and Clubhouse access, no matter what class you fly.

5 star resort at affordable price

Spending a week at the Ritz-Carlton or Fairmont is a luxury that not everyone can afford, but there are ways to dip your toes in their gorgeous pools. ResortPass partners with more than 1,000 hotels and resorts to offer day passes to pools, spas, gyms, and other activity areas. In short, you can use the hotel’s luxury amenities during the day and return to your Airbnb at night. Day passes start at just $25, and for a slightly higher price, some hotels offer work passes that let you get some work done in a luxurious setting, complete with a desk and fast Wi-Fi.

Find 5 star deals

If you've always wanted to go to a fancy restaurant and say, "I'll order a side of everything," consider this a bucket list dream come true. Just do your research: many major cities offer all-you-can-eat packages that only locals know about. In Tokyo, for example, some luxury hotels—like Lost in Translation, The Park Hyatt—offer free drinks and canapés every evening after sunset. Meanwhile, in London, did you know that afternoon tea at most hotels and restaurants is unlimited? It's rarely advertised, so find out more from the hotel's front desk or from people who've stayed there before.
