Try backpacking, staying at hostels, and alternative transportation and you can cut expenses tremendously. Russ --- "Own only what you can carry with you; know language, know countries, know people.

Just my opininon ;-) Martin --- Today is the first day of the rest of your life, enjoy it!

I've researched hostel reservations, food, and supply costs and i think i can manage a $50/day budget after airfare and the europass. Still, $2500 works because i have people to stay with in Germany and Austria and both places account for about 16 days of my trip. Reply    Reply with quote    Contact lostprophet
