I am a regular American planning a trip to Europe with my brother. It will probably be a two week affair. I am looking for any tips that people might have onwhat to bring and how to “backpack” across europe as well as places to stay and monetary advice. I am a college student with limited cash flow and any advice on how to skrimp and save would be great, as well as locations that would be good to travel to.
london is nice but expensive
portugal is cheap but boring
france is nice if u go to paris and not to expensive
italy is pretty
germany its pretty nice to
thats what i can tell
Eastern Europe is cheaper than Western Europe. Bus travel is cheapest, but it is boring and slow! Take twice the money and half the clothes you originally think you’ll need. Use ATM machines. Don’t carry your money in your wallet. Wear a condom whenever you’re…. Buy your food in a shop and don’t eat in restaurants all the time. Don’t you dare eat American food either! You’re in another country for crying outside. Try the local stuff.
Don’t be shy but don’t obnoxious, either. Have fun! Stay loose.
You should do what I did. I just started traveling last year, and I used EF College Break. They were really good and they take care of all the details for you. All you pay for is lunch and dinner, since the package tour includes round trip airfare and hotels and a tour director. So it was pretty cool that I did not have to worry about anything and just have fun. You should check it out. I think its only for people 18-26 though since it is a student subsidized travel thing. So basically, you do the tourist thing one morning with them, and then you are free to explore and experience. Oh, and if you decide to use them I recently got a promo code for them at this fair. it is HESSELN1188 and it saves you like an extra $100. What you can do is opt for staying behind, and then use their ticket to travel to your next destination or back home at a later date. You should see if it works for you. I had lots of fun on my trip. (I went to France!) You just book online. Um, just google ef college break and you should find it. Its the cheapest way to travel, I’ve found so far-and I’ve looked for a long time.
first of all dont trust the Greeks,
second, dont eat at restaurants rather go to the local bakeries and local markets and get your food there.
check your accommodation rates over and over again, dont except the first that is available.
watch out at overly friendly people, check your back, and you will be fine, you will love it and enjoy….
