💳 Use credit card points to book flights and hotels.
I often use my credit card to pay my utility bills, rent, etc. Clearing off your dues before/on the D-day earns you points. Use these points to book your flights and stays.

💼 Look for internships in the cities you want to travel to.
You can do a 2-3 month internship in Udaipur, Bangalore or Delhi.
Most places are very close from Delhi & Bangalore, so you can always go for a weekend getaway while the internship pays you during the weekdays😉
