Aussies and Brits take particular note

Why are you always posting messages inquiring about whether
you can go here or there for $10 a day and the like. Why
put yourself to such misery? Why not just enjoy your
holdays and stop being so scabby.

    $10 a day, $10 a day, I would've given my right arm to go travelling on รบ10 a day. When I was a lad I went travelling round the continent with a tin of tea leaves and a harmonica. You're all soft nowadays, think you're all adventurers you're just a load of mummy's boys.

    people want to get an idea of how much money they need
    to save and how much money it's possible to get by on.
    Just a thought....

    I agree with Bron you need to know how much roughly it
    takes to survive in a place then you save super hard and
    have a great time.
    Remember here in Oz we have to travel a long way to find
    the rest of the world and that costs, so we need to budget
    well. I keep records of my spending every time I travel to
    tell people and compare if I return.

    Ozzie bird....you said it all the one sentence. Australians
    are on a island. We're not linked up to anyone else. Give
    us some credit.

    Sorry Aussies, I was only joking



  7. Part of the fun Added by: Little Kiwi

    Sal ... part of the challenge of travelling is survival ... you wouldn't have nearly as much fun if you didn't care how much you spent, you wouldn't meet other cool travellers in budget hostels, cheap cafes, etc. Bargaining is a blast! Maybe you should try it ... it's a humbling experience.



  8. The stingiest? Added by: Warren

    Who would you say are the stingiest travellers out there?



  9. Would it be possible? Added by: George

    Would it be possible to travel around Europe on $1 (1.05
    Euros) a day?
