Heading somewhere you’ve never been?

Arrive anywhere and handle it like you’ve done it a hundred times, without overpaying, getting scammed or losing your first day to figuring it out

Field-tested across 150+ countries and updated for 2026.

It covers the airport, the cash, the ride into town and the 22 scams aimed at first-time visitors, plus the booking tricks that have saved readers hundreds before they even leave home.

Travel More, Pay Less book and bonus bundle

The first hour in a new city is where most trips start costing too much.

A driver at the arrivals door quotes a price, and there’s no way to tell if it’s fair. Inside the terminal, the cash machine asks you a question on the screen, and there’s no way to know which answer costs more.

At the station, someone helpful and official-looking walks over to tell you something about your train.

While it’s happening, all of it feels like part of arriving.

People who travel all the time handle that hour differently.

It isn’t because they’ve been to that city before. The first hour plays out almost the same way everywhere, and they’ve learned the moves.

Travel More, Pay Less hands you those moves, along with hundreds of booking hacks and scam warnings built over decades across 150+ countries.

One reader, Josh, saved $600 on flights to Peru using a single trick from chapter 3.

Here’s how your next arrival goes once you have them…

You get from the airport into town for about the price of a coffee, on a route most arriving passengers never notice.

At the cash machine, you already know the right answer to the question on the screen.

When someone friendly at the station starts telling you about your train, you smile, because you’ve already read how that one ends.

You check into a room you picked for the right reasons, in the right part of town.

And by the end of the first day, the city feels like somewhere you’ve been before.

Most first-time visitors spend that day figuring it out. You spent it enjoying the place, and every trip after this one starts the same way.

That’s what Travel More, Pay Less gives you.

The old way vs. the Travel More, Pay Less way

The old way

  1. 1Spend evenings researching every new city before you go
  2. 2Take whatever ride is waiting at arrivals
  3. 3Use the first cash machine you see
  4. 4Eat wherever is closest when you get hungry
  5. 5Book tours and tickets wherever they’re sold
  6. 6Hope you spot the scam before it costs you

The Travel More, Pay Less way

  1. 1Know the day-one moves before you land
  2. 2Book with the tricks most travelers never hear about
  3. 3Recognize the 22 scams on sight

Once you see the difference, there’s no going back.

Built to be used on the trip

You don’t have to read it cover to cover before you leave.

The book follows a trip in the order the money leaves your hands. Planning and flights come first, then the airport, then every day on the ground, from cash and rooms to transport, food, the things you came to see and shopping, and finally the 22 scams.

Every tip stands on its own. You open the airport section on the plane, the transport section in the arrivals hall, and the food section when you’re hungry.

That’s why a long weekend gets as much out of it as a month away. Most of what trips up a first-time visitor happens on day one.

How it started

I spent years making all the same mistakes.

Overpaying for flights. Settling for overpriced hotels. Landing somewhere new and paying whatever the first person quoted, because I didn’t know any better yet.

I did the rough version too. Dorms, night buses, other people’s floors. Then I got older and wanted a private room and my own bathroom, and I assumed that meant paying full price for it.

It doesn’t. That’s the whole discovery.

Then I started seeing patterns.

A flight that dropped by 30% overnight.

A “fully booked” hotel quietly releasing rooms at half price, but only through a hidden listing.

The same handful of scams, run the same way, in city after city.

Decades and 150+ countries later, I had hundreds of these. Tested on real trips. All in one book.

It’s the system that’s saved me thousands, let me take trips I thought I couldn’t afford, and made landing somewhere new feel easy instead of stressful.

That’s what I put inside Travel More, Pay Less.

You should be skeptical

I would be too.

The fair question is whether any of this still works.

Prices went up. Airlines got stricter. The obvious tricks got written about so many times they stopped being tricks.

All true. Which is why this book gets rewritten instead of reprinted. What stops working comes out. What replaces it goes in.

Just like Josh, who downloaded the Travel More, Pay Less book a few months ago and soon after saved $600 on flights

Message from Josh saying he saved $600 on flights to Peru

That’s one chapter, used on one booking, and it paid for the book more than thirty times over.

Everything in Travel More, Pay Less has been tested in real life, across over a hundred countries, with results you can measure in hard savings.

And these hacks work even if you:

  • ✗Have no credit card points
  • ✗Have no airline alliance
  • ✗Are booking last minute
  • ✗Won’t share a room with a stranger

This is Mark, another Travel More, Pay Less member, who downloaded the book not too long ago…

Message from Mark about traveling cheaply without a credit card

Mark had no credit card and no air miles. He didn’t need either, because the tricks work on the price itself.

And if you’ve been traveling for years and think you’ve already found every saving, you’re in good company.

June, another Travel More, Pay Less owner who started using these strategies…

Review from June about saving several hundred dollars

June called herself a veteran. The book still found her several hundred dollars on flights before she’d booked a single room.

Why $17 is a steal

This sold for $77 when it was print-only.

It sold for $47 when I first went digital, and hundreds of travelers bought at that price.

Now it’s $17, because I’d rather get it in more hands and hear your success story than keep it locked behind a high price.

For less than a taxi out of most airports, you get the moves that make every new city easier, on this trip and every one after it.

Most readers make that back on their first booking alone.

Frequently asked questions

We understand that you might have questions. We’ve addressed some of the most common ones here.

I want this — what exactly am I getting?

When you buy this, you’ll get my Travel More, Pay Less ebook plus 7 exclusive bonuses worth $449.

These include The Ultimate Guide to Choosing Your Accommodation, Travel Insurance That Actually Pays, and What to Pack and What Not to Forget.

You’ll also receive Travel Resources That Pros Use, Credit Card Travel Hacking (which has helped me get free business class flights and hotel stays), Traveling with Kids, and Traveling in Your Later Years.

Who is this for?

Anyone who wants to land somewhere new, handle it with confidence, and refuse to pay a dollar more than something is worth.

Working professionals, empty-nesters, retirees on a fixed income, couples, solo travelers, families booking around school holidays, and seasoned travelers looking for costs they haven’t cut yet.

Will it help on a short trip?

Most of it is built for exactly that. The airport, the first cash machine, the ride into town and the scams all happen on day one, whether the trip is a long weekend or a month.

Will I have lifetime access?

Yes, you will have lifetime access to all materials and bonuses. The book is also updated regularly with new strategies and hacks.

I’m not American — does this apply to me?

Of course. A handful of the tips are USA-specific, but the majority of the tips were learnt while traveling internationally. In fact, I wrote this with a partner who’s not American.

Is this information outdated?

We come across plenty of outdated travel advice ourselves, so it’s a fair question. This book was updated in August 2026, and everything in it is current.

What’s your refund policy?

No refund needed. Use just one hack from Chapter 3 on your next booking. If it doesn’t save you more than $17, I’d be shocked. That’s how confident I am this pays for itself before you even board the plane.

Still here? Still thinking about it?

Your next trip somewhere new is going to have a first hour either way.

Most first-time visitors spend theirs at the taxi rank and the airport cash machine, working it out as they go. Yours can start the way it does for people who travel all the time.

If you’re curious how differently that first day could go, it’s all in here, for $17.

The airport section alone is about ten minutes of reading on the plane.
