When traveling on a college student's budget, you learn many important life lessons like how to plan on public transportation, how to avoid attraction fees, and hiw to economize your shopping. You also learn that with budget travels... three meals a day? First thing to go. In fact, meals period are considered unnecessary expenses. So today after a whirlwind of touring and walking, I eagerly await my one meal of the day and look back at all the hood ole days when $5 was not my meal cap.
Lizzie's trips for a 10 euro day budget:
1. Breakfast? Lunch? Brunch? No way! Grab some bread from the place down the road and get to walking. Croissant: 2 euro
2. Instead of going to that famous person's house and taking a boring tour of replicas of what their furniture may have looked like when they lived there, walk by the house instead! The gardens: free! Plus, be honest with yourself...you don't really care. Historical moment: 0 euros
3. Walk everywhere! Taking a cab can be $$$$ and a bus misses wonderful unplannedness...like the awesome farmers market in the square. Strawberries: 1 euro
4. Postcards are not only fun for family at home, but they make great momentos of your trip. Instead of that pricey shot glass, do yourself a favor and go with something less bulky and cluttering. 2 postcards: 1 euro
5. Splurge on dinner. You only live once so take that 6 euro in your pocket and go wild. Eat inside. At a table. With a fork or spoon (plastic of course). You deserve it!
So there you have it folks! My advice on how to make your day the 10 euro way. May you heed this sage advice and remember that is you don't like or care about art, don't waste your precious money on a museum!
