Sup savers! Just finished a 3-month trek across Europe and managed to do it super cheap. My tricks? Hostels and couchsurfing, street food (kebabs are your best friend), and lots of walking. Skipped the fancy tours and got the real deal by chatting up locals at dive bars. Plus, buses over planes every time, and ALWAYS haggle at those street markets. If anyone wants a breakdown of costs country by country, hit me up!

Love the walking and bus travel—it's not just about saving money, it helps cut down that carbon footprint too. Plus, you actually get to SEE the country you're traveling through. Keep it up and maybe we'll cross paths on some European trail.

This is the essence of travel! Forget those cookie-cutter tours. You haven't lived till you've shared a homemade meal or listened to jazz with someone whose language you barely speak. Buses over planes all day—landscape watching and unexpected detours are where memories are made. Keep rockin' the budget travel life! 🙌

Less than $50/day in Europe and you've still got all your kidneys? Color me surprised. Some places that might fly but don't expect to drink your way through Paris or Amsterdam on the cheap. Also, pretty sure those ‘real deal’ dive bar chats don't always end well for the wallet if you catch my drift.

Hostels are truly Godsent for a traveler on a budget. Last year I jumped around a few in Eastern Europe and met folks who could party hard, yet wake up the next day to explore like nothing happened 😂. Street food is the heart of any city, though - those late-night kebabs saved me more than just money. Props to you for that authentic travel life!

Yo, that's pretty impressive! I'm planning on doing a similar trip next year and would absolutely love to get a breakdown of your costs by country. Especially interested in how you managed in the pricier areas like Scandinavia or Switzerland, if you went there. Did you have any issues with safety while couchsurfing or haggling?
