The Frugal Goose

Europe in general is one of the best places in the world to visit. With so many different countries, cultures, and history you can spend a few months just traveling through some of the cities. Many people have become inspired and motivated to do great things after spending time in Europe, for example the founder of Starbucks coffee company who has said to have gotten his idea from the world famous Italian cafes.

Being somewhat familiar with travel in Europe I can say that it can be either very affordable or very expensive depending on the city you’re in and how much comfort you’re willing to give up. If you’re on a budget but dream of doing some travel through Europe check out some of these tips for finding cheap lodging. I can verify some of these myself. Its also pretty customary to bargain for things in most parts of Europe so use this to your advantage by letting people know you’re on a tight budget but want their goods and services. Respect can buy you a great discount in Europe as well.
