Budget Travel Series: Introduction

Brian and I have lived in the UK for more than 6 months now, and we have been able to see some of the most beautiful cities in Europe. The question we always get though is: how do you afford to do it? It’s taken research and experience, but we now have a system that allows us to travel in Europe on a budget without feeling like we’re on one. We stay in nice hotels, eat local food, and are truly able to experience the cultures by finding ways to save where we can.

Before you begin planning your trip, there are a few general tips that can make a difference. First, it is helpful to check out travel deals through Web sites such as Travel Zoo (www.travelzoo.com or www.travelzoo.co.uk). Myvouchercodes.co.uk can also offer you great savings on destinations in the UK specifically. Expedia and Travelocity are also great resources for traveler information, ideas, and savings. Many of these sites offer a regular, online newsletter with travel deals delivered straight to your inbox.


Over the course of the next 4 days, we will share our tips for saving money when booking flights, choosing hotels, getting around town, and eating out. We hope you will find the information helpful when planning your next trip to Europe!
