In this economy more and more people are becoming so-called "budget travelers." Which simply means those folks who try and make their hard earned doe go further when it comes to traveling.

Here are the top 10 signs you’re a budget traveler (or how to become one):

1. You travel with a single lightweight bag in tow
2. You always take advantage of free stuff
3. You keep your eyes peeled for cheap train tickets
4. You buy city passes for admission discounts and to bypass lines
5. You bid for travel products online
6. You visit expensive destinations in the off season
7. You’re willing to get bumped from a flight in return for free travel
8. You worry about good fuel economy
9. You add cheap destinations to itinerary
10. You would actually consider sleeping in an airport (slightly extreme)
