Does travelling as a hobby cost a lot?

It all comes down to managing your expenses. If your idea of travelling involves aircraft or cruise liners and fancy hotels and going to far-away places the comfortable way, then yes, you’ve pretty much got to be at least reasonably rich to travel. Airfare and hotel rates are increasing, driving up the cost of a trip. Demand for vacations has risen as COVID-19 cases fall and more attractions open. There are ways to reduce your spending, though.
