‘I go on holiday to Europe every month – it costs me less than £300 each time’
We all love going on holiday, but it can be so expensive many Brits go once a year – and even less often as the price of a trip abroad can be prohibitive.
Anyone looking to fly somewhere sunny should look to Turkey, Spain and Morocco.
A study by Savoo found that these were the cheapest all-inclusive destinations this year.

But, one woman has claimed she goes on holiday every single month by taking advantage of cheap European deals.
Samantha Wragg, 34, books just six weeks to two months ahead of her preferred holiday date to bag last-minute deals.
You can find some incredible deals on flights using this Google Flights hack where trips from the UK to Italy can cost as little as £19.
She also keeps costs down by eating street food or at restaurants that cater to locals, claims the Express.
Samantha, a marketing professional from Derbyshire, shared some of her tips for those wanting to jet off more often.
She said: "Compare everything and remember that booking direct can sometimes be cheaper.”
The young holidaymaker also says you should try and book flights outside of London.
She claims return flights to European cities can be found for less than £50 – and flying from smaller non-London airports increases the likelihood of bagging a deal.
Plus, she keeps costs down while away by enjoying free activities and says she spends around £300 per holiday.
Samantha said: “Doing your research is important so you can see what free stuff is available in the area.
“Museums and other attractions can be free and walk around a city if possible because it saves on public transport and is a great way to discover an area."
And, there are plenty of other ways to save on your holidays too.
Charles Stewart, managing director of foreign change expert Eurochange, provided his top tips on how to make your cash stretch as far as possible.
He claims using public transport instead of transport or taxis will save a pretty penny.
Charles noted: "Another good transport tip is to look into available family/bulk booking deals for public transport before you travel.
"Many tourist hotspots offer better deals when booking in advance and provide discounts of up to 20% when booking as a family.
"For example, from September to the end of the year, Spain is offering free train travel on commuter and medium-distance routes – to combat the rising cost of living."
While in Germany you can bag a ticket for just nine euros that you can use all over the country.
