So here you are lying on one of the beautiful beaches of Hawaii. The sun is setting on the ocean behind green palm trees. One year ago you couldn't even imagine taking a way too expensive trip of this nature. Now it's even harder to imagine because it didn't cost a penny. 6 months ago it was the Bahamas. Maybe next year it will be the highlands of Scotland. ALL FREE!!!

Yes, it's true! This could be you and already you hold the sercret in your hands.

Why haven't you heard of these free travel secrets before? Two reasons: One, a lot of people want to keep them to themselves; and two companies don't advertise these secrets.

FREE TRAVEL

Free car and travel: Don't have a car? Don't want to put the milage and wear on yours. Sometimes car rental companies need cars delivered around the country. Not only will they pay the expenses more often than not they'll pay you. You can also check the want ads or put one in yourself for sometimes an individual will be relocated by their job on the spur of the moment and have to have many of their belongings delivered, including the car.

Free Vacation Home: Bored with your city home? You're not the only one. Other people would love to be in your shoes and you in theirs. This could be accomplished in several ways.

1. Trade homes with friends in the US or even in other countries. 2. Advertise in travel magazines for someone to trade with. 3. Contact Vacation Exchange Club 1-800-638-3841.

Free Cruises: Use your expertise to get a free cruise. You probably know something that a lot of other people don't. Even if you don't have the knowledge required, you can learn. Some examples: Activities co-ordinator, stage and set crew. Teach a seminar on cruise lines to prepare the passengers for their trip. This is something anyone could research and present. If you put some thought into it there are many others you could come up with. Offer your own free package deal to cruise lines as a tour guide. Research the ports of call the ship will be making and put together an interesting tour for each stop.

Airlines, cruises all offer free packages. Get a group of 10 or more people to take the tour with you, they'll pay and you'll get free passage. Be sure to check on this because a lot has changed with the high cost of fuel etc. The last time I used this plan was in the mid-nineties. With a group of 10 or more many companies not only offered free passage for you but for your spouse as well.

Some of these companies have been eaten up by people like Priceline and such but the main idea is still the same and still capable of being done, especially the cruises, car exchanges, vacation home trades etc. As I said there are many that I probably haven't even thought of, so good Luck!!!!!
