So how can you travel without being too much constricted by cash?
1. If someone in a different country invites to you visit them, Go! Three days is the ideal time to explore and sightsee. WizzAir has very cheap flights. They make up for their costs charging you for your luggage. Pack light. You don’t need all the crap you usually take with you.
2. You also don’t need to dine at fancy restaurants to taste the delicious local food. Those touristy white table fancy service restaurants are meant to make you feel rich. I opt for the casual, local experience.
3. Pack comfortable shoes. Travel on foot. You are bound to discover hidden gems of streets, shops and restaurant this way.
4. Buy juices and nectars from neighborhood supermarkets. We were fueled by Granini this trip: vitamins, sugar and hydration.
5. Eat breakfast at home. Buy fresh local baguettes to carry around. Delicious source of carbs to burn walking.
6. Do some research on ways to get from the airport to your destination. Most cities have great affordable public transit.
7. Treat yourself once during a trip. Take pictures to your hearts delight and take breaks.
We spent 200 dollars on two roundtrip flights and 100 euros on food, souvenirs, bus ride to and from the airport, a bottle of delicious red to go with the yummy dinner cooked by Rebe, and of course specialty coffee.
