thank you man im planing for a trip to europe and i want to go from budapest vienna prague berlin bremen amsterdam rotterdam bruge brussel paris using couchsurfing hostels hitchhiking and cook my own food for 20 days how much it will cost
@@elijah2405 I had Eurail so the reservation fees with that and food. I mostly stayed with friends and couch surfed. I only used Hostels in 3/15 cities
I went to Poland for a week on a whim because I had a week off work. The flight wasn’t cheap, from Toronto, but the week there was. I did all the free museums and ate the street food, because it was June. Nice weather. My hostel room was dirt cheap and it was private with my own washroom. Eastern Europe is so fabulous.
I planned a two month trip across Europe. Im averaging about 2500 a month including hostels and transportation. I left most of my trip flexible but i did buy train tickets in advance! I found that the tours I really wanted to do or activities it is just best to book from the official website. You save anywhere from $50-$75 dollars
Great tips! I did Europe for 5 months from Sep '18 to Feb '19, and I spent on average €1000 per month. I did all of Europe, except Finland, the Baltics, Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine. I managed to go cheap even in the UK and Scandinavia. So as much as possible don't limit yourselves to just the cheap countries!
@@someone_5870 I stayed mostly in hostels and did lots of Couchsurfing as well. I travel by the cheapest ways possible, by bus, ridesharing, and sometimes hitchhiking. I don't take trains unless there's no cheaper option, as they're usually more costly than buses.
In 2017 I had 40 days summer trip where my friend and I spent 450€ each (and 180€ for 5 flights and one bus ticket) Everything you need is just a good plan, positive mindset and all the applications that might help you to save up your money! :)
I always wanted to backpack travel but I’m a little afraid of doing it alone and none of my friends want to do it with me so I’m going to have to do it alone, which I don’t mind but is still a little scary to do for the first time alone but I can’t wait to plan a trip and see how it goes
Do it alone! I started out alone at 22. And I’ve loved it ever since. I’ve met many solo female travelers as well in Europe and Southeast Asia. You won’t be alone, you meet a lot of good people when you travel
@@jennifervelyvis6372 I thought about getting a gap year but couldn't do it so when I have enough money I'll probably doing in summer time but is scary to think doing it alone like I wish my friends would go but they also don't want to and I don't know anybody else
*in Spain you can eat and drink all you want for about 5 euros a day!* _Granada and Seville for example give you a free tapas when you buy a coffee or a beer or soda, you pay between 1,5 to 2 euros for everything._ _A tapas is a meal that is not sweet. it can be a chicken leg with some potatoes , a tuna salad a sandwich etc_ _not all cities have this tradition, and it is no logic that decides where it exists. i lived in Spain for two years and i never got why they have these traditions in only some places_ _you never find that tradition on Costa del sol, only in the cities north of the coast._
Thanks for the advice, planning on making this trip next year and bringing some friends with me. It's going to be great! Appreciate the information in detail, its easy to make a list, but for someone unfamiliar with Europe (never been) you provide what countries and activities in details. If I go, without a doubt this video will have been the biggest help
Wow thanks. I know the south is cheapest in the US but never thought about it that way traveling. Thanks. Also yes !! I learned! My next trip skipping all the touristy crap. The best times are in the countries with the locals ❤️❤️
This video was the BEST ADVISE I EVER HEARD SO FAR and I am a European living in Europe if I give advise I WOULD GIVE THE SAME AS YOU... WELL DONE.... VERY WELL DONE...
I am quite sure that 1000 USD per month is possible in case that one avoids all the Nordic countries, Luxembourg, Lichtenstein, Switzerland and some of the capitals such as Rome, London and Paris. The Cheapest place in Europe that I know of is Ukraine. There is a price comparison site called Numbeo that do quite a good job with comparing cost of living in various areas around the world. Tipping is a very american thing, and is not as common in most places in Europe. A waiter's salary is not based on tipping and especially in the west the waiters usually have quite decent basic salaries.
Thank you, it’s definitely possible but it’s not really easy and simple to do. If you take into account the average dorm hostel in a lot of Europe at around $15 a night, that’s almost half your money right there. Plus if you’re traveling a few countries each month, you have to add the transportation costs which can easily get into the hundreds for trains, and then eating 3 meals a day plus some drinks every now and then. Most people I know go to Europe and spend $1000 in 3 or 4 days
Alexander. you should try at the Autumm as well as the landscape is SO BEAUTIFUL and it is still LOT of FRESH FRUIT and VEGETABLE from the summer make the price cheaper....
Loved all the tips I'm looking to travel next year.... I do have one question if someone could be so nice to answer, can you elaborate on the SIM card , do I need to get a new phone or do I need to get a different phone? Any tips welcome. Thanks!
Hello! I also like to travel a lot. This summer i went 1 week in Spain(Barcelona and Valencia) and spent a lot more. In your video you said you should avoid turistic locations. What is the point of visiting Barcelona let's say, if you wont visit Sagrada Familia, Parc Guell and a lot of other attractions given you dont have the money to visit them?
Visit the cozy edge of the north of Ukraine. Beautiful parks, old trees, birds singing and quiet lake creek. Perfect for those who love ethno-tourism. Welcome! 1. Trostyanets, Sumy region 2. Trostyanets, Chernihiv region 3. Kachanovka, Chernihiv region
Alexander Travelbum yes plëëase do! I’m interested 🙋🏻♀️I’m going to Spain for 4 months to study abroad and then I will be backpacking Europe for 3 more. Would love more information on budgeting so anything helps!! Thank you for this video it was quite helpful 😊
Hey alex I've been subbed for quite awhile! Love the videos, I'm planning on going to croatia, greece slovenia and italy for roughly 6 weeks during the summer. I'm a broke student who's trying to save enough to go in this epic trip once I'm done highschool Yay!! But I realize that travelling is super expensive.. what would be a reasonable amount I'd need to save to do this trip comfortably? In USD. Thanks for your amazing help
So 6 weeks is about a month and a half, so it just depends if you’re going to be drinking and partying a lot, doing a lot of boat tours and things like that. Because those things can get you to thousands a month real fast. I traveled Europe on less than $1,000 a month but it was an extreme budget. You can do it like this but if you want to be comfortable, I’d say go over there with $2-5K. If you don’t want money to affect your decisions, then closer to the top of that. Hope this helps
I hear Eastern European countries are great for someone who is a student or someone who doesn’t have a very large salary. Maybe that’s the case for Southern Europe too?
From what I’ve explored, that can be true. Of course not in all cases, but eastern, and then southern for budget travel. When you go west and/or north, you’re getting a batch of some of the most expensive countries in the world
You can actually reach your destination quicker. My family and I once took the train to Paris (3 hours) and we were quicker than if we had taken the car (around 12 hours). Plus there's no traffic.
I'm going to France around the end of May for 7 days but I want to extend my trip so I can be able to visit Amsterdam, Spain, and maybe Portugal... depending on the budget (I have $3,000). I'm thankful that I have a friend who lives outside of Paris that will let me stay with him free of charge for as long as I want but I want to be able to see other places in and around France and the neighboring countries. No plan yet and I leave in 25 days the pressure is real...... IDK what to do?
I’m 16 and living in Canada BC near Prince George. I have a girlfriend who’s 15 and lives in the UK. I want to go see her seeing as we met online, I’d rather go there then her come here for multiple reasons but the biggest one is that I’d never expect a father to let his daughter travel to another country just for a boy. Instead I’m going there to show both her and her family that I am completely committed to her. My only problem is that I haven’t been able to find how much a trip like that costs. My best guess is between 5,000 and 10,000 Canadian but I honestly don’t know. I’ve tried looking online as best I know how but there’s no sites that have been of any help whatsoever. If someone could reply and offer me a general number to make my goal it would be much appreciated.
are you sure you're doing your research? you can easily google how much a flight to the UK is. anyway, the most expensive one is still about 1,000 canadian but that's only a one way flight, so round trip may be 2,000 or even lower if you book in advance. also, i don't think that's a very smart idea at all, but do you i guess
Really good advice! I haven't done any traveling but hoping to backpack Europe at some point. Couch surfing seems like a good option but I'm concerned doing that as a young female solo backpackers. How safe would you say couch surfing is?
I can feel ya..im really planning to travel Europe since none of my friends are interested. Couchsurfing seems budget friendly but im not confident since im only 19🙄
the essential key is to read the comments other female travellers have made concerning the host. that way, couchsurfing is a good option and can be cost effective. happy travels :)
@@Oladavol I have met a lot young (20 - 35 years old) US citizens while travelling Europe myself. All I can say most of them are living in fantasies. If you expect to stay in hotels located in old towns and city centers, eat out 3 times a day in restaurants, take flight every week to visit other country when yes you probably get short... Short example of one of my trips: (1 month) bus transfer from Vilnius to Prague. Prague - 3days living in hostels. After Cycled through Czech Republic to Austria. (3days). Cyclyed through all Austria (Zalcburg(3days living in camping) - Zell am See (1 day camping), Innsbruck 2 days camping)> Further I cycled to Italy ( Bozen, Verona (2 days hostel), Bergamo (1 day hostel), Milan (1 day hostel). - Back to Bergamo (2days hostel) flight to Vilnius. All expences - 500eu. With 6k you can easily and very comfortable visit some 6-7 countries without any strong planning. With less comfort you can a lot more.
@@Oladavol Depends on the country. But usually you can find camp sites near city. For example: VERONA. Of course while cycling you can do wild camping (stealthy and without fire) most of times outside of the city. Or if you are crazy enough you can try in the city center I personally while visiting Paris have slept in park Bois de Boulogne, but saw some crazy Polish guys who set up tent in park Champ de Mars. Try Couch surfing - my brother have tried it in Sardinia the local guy give him a room for a week. If you are young try hich-hiking, I have done it my self Vilnius - Barcelona - Vilnius in one month.
@@Arvydas_M what does your pack look like and where did you get your bike? Also can you take your bike on trains and buses? How big is your tent/sleeping bag?
Okay this is extremely random but you look so similar to the actor Justin Chatwin. Back on track, this video was very informative and helped me plan a lot for my future trip to Europe.
Haha yeah, I actually just watched all of Shameless last year. My friends, and I even felt like I was watching a version of myself. Anyway, glad to help!
Hi I’m traveling to Europe , Netherlands next month for 49 days and i just have trouble on how much money I should bring over there . I live in the United States and I don’t know how much money I should bring . Can you help me ?
I’m looking to travel around the world, well. South east Asia, some bits of America, maybe Australia. Japan. And some bits of Europe as well. Can anyone give me legit advice on how much money I need to save. That’s all I need to know, I want to explore there comfortably, staying in hostels etc.
Can I get some advice? im gonna be 16 this summer. And im traveling the world for 3 months. Alone, most of the time. Im fluent in spanish and english, and only have 4,000 dollars. First things first, I wanna base jump and skydive. I already have alot of experience cliff jumping (Im from maui, Hawaii) And i surf too. Generally athletic and hopefully levelheaded, any spots u guys know? How am I gonna get a skydiving license with only 4k? How muchs a parachute? I have friends in greece, and spain?
Alex Travelbum Thanks for the reply! I’ll be doing a study abroad program in Budapest throughout June then I’m going to take 3 weeks to actually backpack Europe. I plan on buying a Eurail pass but are there any destinations I absolutely need to visit? I want to keep it around a $1200/month budget, but I also don’t want to sacrifice fun experiences. Any advice would be great!
Eastern Europe is much cheaper for the most part. More adventure, less tourists. I love it. But if you haven’t been to Europe before and won’t go back soon, of course at some point in your life you must see Paris, London, Rome. But they are more expensive. After traveling a lot of Europe many many times, I would suggest any of these: countries - Italy, Spain, Turkey, Croatia, Portugal. Cities - Rome Italy, Madrid Spain, Lisbon Portugal, London, Berlin Germany, Prague, Amsterdam, Split Croatia. I have 2 videos about my favorite travel experiences and places I’ve found, I show a few things there. That will be an amazing experience, good luck
That all depends on you. Solo travel is amazing and you should do it while you can, but if you have a good partner to go with, that’s great. Just don’t go with someone you can’t stand after a week or two of travel. That’s usually most people
Hi, I am planning to go for a tour to many countries on europe. How does the flight work. One way can be taken ? Or is it a must to take a two way. Any suggestions
Hi Alex, im from India.What would be total tour cost for 30 days. I prefer hostels. Planning to tour Paris, London, Rome, Amsterdam, Brussels, Swiss, Germany, Romania, Budapest, Warsaw. Tq
Those are a lot of countries and far apart, a lot to see in 30 days. Are you sure you want to do the Eastern countries as well? Because of the distance, it will take more travel days and more money to get to Poland, Romania, and places over there from Paris, Rome, etc
@@AlexanderTravelbum Tq. Yes include Eastern countries as well. It's a budget tour and duration between 30 to 40 days. Is it okay between 2200-2500 Euros?
It could be. You should look online at your transportation option. See what Flixbus has to offer and then look at how much you will spend on transport first. Then you will know what you have left for budget hostels and cheap food. Sometimes Flixbus has deals to go to 5 countries or more

I hear Eastern European countries are great for someone who is a student or someone who doesn’t have a very large salary. Maybe that’s the case for Southern Europe too?
From what I’ve explored, that can be true. Of course not in all cases, but eastern, and then southern for budget travel. When you go west and/or north, you’re getting a batch of some of the most expensive countries in the world
nice
Thanks for the video, great stuff. FYI, your link for the Passport Wallet is actually for a Go-Pro accessory.
Ah thanks for telling me, I’ll switch it out now
But bus and train always take a long time to destinations it would feel exhausted after that
You can actually reach your destination quicker. My family and I once took the train to Paris (3 hours) and we were quicker than if we had taken the car (around 12 hours). Plus there's no traffic.
Keira Siobhan that sounds reasonable
I’m new I like video
I like your accent. Are you Canadian?
I'm going to France around the end of May for 7 days but I want to extend my trip so I can be able to visit Amsterdam, Spain, and maybe Portugal... depending on the budget (I have $3,000). I'm thankful that I have a friend who lives outside of Paris that will let me stay with him free of charge for as long as I want but I want to be able to see other places in and around France and the neighboring countries. No plan yet and I leave in 25 days the pressure is real...... IDK what to do?
I’m 16 and living in Canada BC near Prince George. I have a girlfriend who’s 15 and lives in the UK. I want to go see her seeing as we met online, I’d rather go there then her come here for multiple reasons but the biggest one is that I’d never expect a father to let his daughter travel to another country just for a boy. Instead I’m going there to show both her and her family that I am completely committed to her. My only problem is that I haven’t been able to find how much a trip like that costs. My best guess is between 5,000 and 10,000 Canadian but I honestly don’t know. I’ve tried looking online as best I know how but there’s no sites that have been of any help whatsoever. If someone could reply and offer me a general number to make my goal it would be much appreciated.
Save up and come there when you're 18 :)
are you sure you're doing your research? you can easily google how much a flight to the UK is. anyway, the most expensive one is still about 1,000 canadian but that's only a one way flight, so round trip may be 2,000 or even lower if you book in advance. also, i don't think that's a very smart idea at all, but do you i guess
but anyone wants to travel should pay . That is not free if you want to enjoy or what ?
Really good advice! I haven't done any traveling but hoping to backpack Europe at some point. Couch surfing seems like a good option but I'm concerned doing that as a young female solo backpackers. How safe would you say couch surfing is?
I can feel ya..im really planning to travel Europe since none of my friends are interested. Couchsurfing seems budget friendly but im not confident since im only 19🙄
the essential key is to read the comments other female travellers have made concerning the host. that way, couchsurfing is a good option and can be cost effective. happy travels :)
I live in Ireland and I’ve been to most eu countries and some of this isn’t so true but some of is but food vid overall
Is there a global sim card with 3g?
Or what is the best sim card in Europe for internet..?
Great
Her the europass and see everything
For this amount of money you do not need any tips, its plenty!
Lasting a 6 months on 6k is impressive. That is spending around $35/day including the total travel costs.
@@Oladavol I have met a lot young (20 - 35 years old) US citizens while travelling Europe myself. All I can say most of them are living in fantasies. If you expect to stay in hotels located in old towns and city centers, eat out 3 times a day in restaurants, take flight every week to visit other country when yes you probably get short... Short example of one of my trips: (1 month) bus transfer from Vilnius to Prague. Prague - 3days living in hostels. After Cycled through Czech Republic to Austria. (3days). Cyclyed through all Austria (Zalcburg(3days living in camping) - Zell am See (1 day camping), Innsbruck 2 days camping)> Further I cycled to Italy ( Bozen, Verona (2 days hostel), Bergamo (1 day hostel), Milan (1 day hostel). - Back to Bergamo (2days hostel) flight to Vilnius. All expences - 500eu. With 6k you can easily and very comfortable visit some 6-7 countries without any strong planning. With less comfort you can a lot more.
@@Arvydas_M yes I agree. I was wondering about camping. How did you choose a area to set up camp?
@@Oladavol Depends on the country. But usually you can find camp sites near city. For example: VERONA. Of course while cycling you can do wild camping (stealthy and without fire) most of times outside of the city. Or if you are crazy enough you can try in the city center I personally while visiting Paris have slept in park Bois de Boulogne, but saw some crazy Polish guys who set up tent in park Champ de Mars. Try Couch surfing - my brother have tried it in Sardinia the local guy give him a room for a week. If you are young try hich-hiking, I have done it my self Vilnius - Barcelona - Vilnius in one month.
@@Arvydas_M what does your pack look like and where did you get your bike? Also can you take your bike on trains and buses? How big is your tent/sleeping bag?
I want to do like you but if I am successful with my videos, I will go around the world like you too.
Name what countries you’ve gone to I have been to us and Mexico and Canada
Okay this is extremely random but you look so similar to the actor Justin Chatwin.
Back on track, this video was very informative and helped me plan a lot for my future trip to Europe.
Haha yeah, I actually just watched all of Shameless last year. My friends, and I even felt like I was watching a version of myself. Anyway, glad to help!
Hi I’m traveling to Europe , Netherlands next month for 49 days and i just have trouble on how much money I should bring over there . I live in the United States and I don’t know how much money I should bring . Can you help me ?
Maria Bencosme Netherlands isn’t so cheap but it’s not very expensive just bring a credit card and you’ll be fine
I’m looking to travel around the world, well. South east Asia, some bits of America, maybe Australia. Japan. And some bits of Europe as well. Can anyone give me legit advice on how much money I need to save. That’s all I need to know, I want to explore there comfortably, staying in hostels etc.
Oh 2 years ago. Inflation doubled this cost 😂
Balkians still good though
It seems like flixbus could be cheaper than eurorail if youre only going to like 10 cities or so...
Yes it definitely can be cheaper. I’d suggest checking it out against where you plan to go
How much would u recommend to Bring if traveling through Europe for 6 weeks in hostels
Same thing
Now the real question is where do you find a cheap place to fix all of that crazy hair ;)
Can I get some advice? im gonna be 16 this summer. And im traveling the world for 3 months. Alone, most of the time. Im fluent in spanish and english, and only have 4,000 dollars. First things first, I wanna base jump and skydive. I already have alot of experience cliff jumping (Im from maui, Hawaii) And i surf too. Generally athletic and hopefully levelheaded, any spots u guys know? How am I gonna get a skydiving license with only 4k? How muchs a parachute? I have friends in greece, and spain?
What would you recommend for a summer Europe travel budget? Also what do you recommend for packing essentials?
3 months? I have a couple videos linked up about budget travel in Europe, you should check them out. On the very low end, I did $1,000usd per month
Alex Travelbum Thanks for the reply! I’ll be doing a study abroad program in Budapest throughout June then I’m going to take 3 weeks to actually backpack Europe. I plan on buying a Eurail pass but are there any destinations I absolutely need to visit? I want to keep it around a $1200/month budget, but I also don’t want to sacrifice fun experiences. Any advice would be great!
Eastern Europe is much cheaper for the most part. More adventure, less tourists. I love it. But if you haven’t been to Europe before and won’t go back soon, of course at some point in your life you must see Paris, London, Rome. But they are more expensive. After traveling a lot of Europe many many times, I would suggest any of these: countries - Italy, Spain, Turkey, Croatia, Portugal. Cities - Rome Italy, Madrid Spain, Lisbon Portugal, London, Berlin Germany, Prague, Amsterdam, Split Croatia. I have 2 videos about my favorite travel experiences and places I’ve found, I show a few things there. That will be an amazing experience, good luck
Would you recommend going alone ? Or with a partner
That all depends on you. Solo travel is amazing and you should do it while you can, but if you have a good partner to go with, that’s great. Just don’t go with someone you can’t stand after a week or two of travel. That’s usually most people
Hi,
I am planning to go for a tour to many countries on europe. How does the flight work. One way can be taken ? Or is it a must to take a two way. Any suggestions
Hi Alex, im from India.What would be total tour cost for 30 days. I prefer hostels. Planning to tour Paris, London, Rome, Amsterdam, Brussels, Swiss, Germany, Romania, Budapest, Warsaw. Tq
Those are a lot of countries and far apart, a lot to see in 30 days. Are you sure you want to do the Eastern countries as well? Because of the distance, it will take more travel days and more money to get to Poland, Romania, and places over there from Paris, Rome, etc
@@AlexanderTravelbum Tq. Yes include Eastern countries as well. It's a budget tour and duration between 30 to 40 days. Is it okay between 2200-2500 Euros?
It could be. You should look online at your transportation option. See what Flixbus has to offer and then look at how much you will spend on transport first. Then you will know what you have left for budget hostels and cheap food. Sometimes Flixbus has deals to go to 5 countries or more
@@AlexanderTravelbum Tnx brother for your time and info🙏👍
Venkat R any time, let me know if you have more questions. - I’m actually going to India next month. Can’t wait
