How to travel the world on a budget: how I traveled Around Europe for 11 months

Travelling is expensive. And the truth is, it doesn’t get any cheaper over time. If you want to take trips and explore the world, spending your hard earned money on travel might come with a cost. However, that doesn’t mean that there’s no way around it. There are ways to save money when you travel without feeling like you’re missing out on things or compromising on quality. In this article, I will show you how I travelled around Europe for 11 months for under $2,000.

What is the cheapest way to travel around Europe?

The cheapest way to travel Europe is to fly. Some places are only accessible via air, like Iceland and the Canary Islands, so it’s the easiest way to get there. However, since air fares vary so much (and have changed so much since I did this trip), it’s hard to give a specific number. Fortunately, since I had a round-the-world ticket, I was also able to take a look at the flight options of domestic flights when I wasn’t travelling long distances. In my research, I found that you can fly domestically within Europe for less than $500 per person. For example, I flew from Paris to Barcelona for $261. If you’re travelling with a friend, you could fly from Paris to Barcelona for $488. If you’re travelling solo, airfares are often cheaper.

Research, research, research!

Before you go on your trip, you should do a lot of research. Find out what it costs to travel around a particular country or region. You don’t want to get to your destination and realize that everything you thought you knew was wrong. Not only does this save you from disappointment, but it also cuts down on your expenses if you weren’t prepared and aren’t as informed.

Base yourself in one place for a while

If you want to save money while travelling Europe, then you should base yourself in one place while you’re there and while you’re saving up the money for your next trip. Travel to a different country once you have saved up enough money, and you’ll be able to travel around Europe more cheaply.

Use local transport where possible

When you’re travelling Europe, try to use local transport whenever possible. There are usually discounts for tourists, so you can get free entry to a lot of attractions and museums with your Eurail pass or travel card. You can also take local buses and trains to save money.

Dining Out: Is it worth it?

Yes and no. If you’re travelling on a budget, then you will have to make some compromises. This includes dining out. Dining out may seem like a luxury or an extravagance, but if you look closely, you’ll see that there are options that don’t cost that much. If you don’t plan your meals well, then you can often eat for under $10 (if you’re dining with a friend). Some of the best places to eat on a budget in Europe are:
