      I agree about Italy. The train system is great. Of course if you go to Italy you will want to spend some time in rome but we loved Bologna. The food the people the architecture the history. Ig made rome feel a little like Disneyland (I know that sounds bad but we went from one attraction to the next and it was hard to enjoy with the crowds )

    I love Portugal a lot, however Portugal is starting to get overcrowded because everyone is going there now. I think it loses its value a little when there’s tons of people there. I’ve only been there in the off season and it’s not as bad, but even between 2021 and 2022, there were substantially more people even in the off season. Given the fact that the wages are so low and there’s such a demand for tourism and immigration there, it’s hard not to see prices going up.

Personally, I've been fortunate to travel to over 10 countries thanks to careful budgeting and smart investments.I wasnt financial free until my 40’s and I’m still in my 40’s, bought my second house already, earn on a monthly through passive income and got 2 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless your age INVEST and change your future...

      Alright, speaking in general terms, investing requires a good amount of knowledge. That's why it's essential to have a solid support system like a financial counselor, especially when picking out assets. I've been working with Regina Louise Collaro, who is an investment advisor at a registered wealth management company. I can't recommend her enough; my financial journey has been fantastic thanks to her. She's quite well-known for her services, and she helped me achieve financial stability through investments. Now, I benefit from her passive income strategies every month. So, I'd strongly suggest finding a reliable investment advisor for yourself..

Also, if you have a hire car head to the Lake District in the northwest of England... such beautiful countryside.

    London can be fairly affordable if you stay and eat outside of the really touristy areas. I stayed in a nice, modern hotel with breakfast midweek for about 150USD per night last September, just a couple of minutes walk to Aldgate station. If you’re willing to book weeks in advance, train tickets to other cities can be booked cheaply. The downside is that you have to book specific trains at specific times, but I paid around £30 round trip for York and £20 for Cambridge.
    Also, if you get food for takeaway, they don’t charge you the 20% VAT. Many restaurants will have both dine in and takeaway menus, and the takeaway is usually significantly cheaper.

    Truest statement ever spoken. Smaller cities are the best cities. Especially if they’re a day trip from a bigger city.
    For example, instead of paying the exorbitant prices in Nashville, Tennessee, you can stay in Clarksville, TN and make Nashville a day trip and save a ton of money. NYC? Hoboken. London? Luton. Paris? Beauvais. Tallinn? Saue.
    Of course make sure it’s worth the savings to make a ton of trips between your hotel and the city you want to be in. In my experience, going to NYC and staying in Hoboken is only a good idea if you’re going to NYC for one or two days. Past that, just stay in NYC.
    Or like with Tallinn, staying in little bitty Saue was fine because it was only a 25 minute drive or a 30 minute train ride and well, my town is about that far from our closest city (Lubbock, Texas) so that’s just normal for my wife and I. Saue was also right on the road to Parnu so that meant when we took that day trip (about 1 1/2 hours) we didn’t have to drive through Tallinn to get there.
    In case anyone is curious, Tallinn and Lubbock are about the same size by metro / urban area. Tallinn is bigger but not by all that much, so we felt right at home and let me tell you as “small town close to a mid-sized city” people, we appreciate that feeling because it’s hard to find when traveling because everyone wants to go to the big cities.

But going up me and my partner had pastais and a coffee at the ‘oldest cafe in town’ (again, could easily be a tourist trap) and it was about €6.

    Greece is number one in that case. Its very cheap and you have so much to do and see. Athens and whole Greece has amazing weather all year around with less rain than rest of europe, good food and so much history...plus on top of all that you have so many great summer vacation destinations for every budget.

    If you want to stay cheap in the UK utilise the railways and stay in less popular destinations, for example hotels are expensive in Bath and York but wayy cheaper in Bristol and Leeds nearby each city respectively

    I did poland, czechia, lithuania, spain and portugal for the « low budget ». Would recommend all of them.
    Going outside the capital city is a great tip, much cheaper food and accomodations. I’ll add going outside the touristic season help a lot with hotel prices.
    I was surprised at how cheap eating out was in France and Italy for example!

    We were in Bath a couple months ago and found so much to do at such affordable rates. Great history and shopping and even a heck of an experience seeing Bath Football Club. The Ustinov Theatre and the Pump Room were delightful.

    Joking aside, Czech Republic snd south of Spain is pretty good value for money. Dinner for under €6 is certainly not hard to find and the affordable hotels in Czechia are really good.

    For those who want a dirt cheap vacation. Go to SE Asia. You'll have a blast I promise. In Europe I have been to a few countries such as Italy and Spain which I found reasonable but I still have many places to see. Portugal is definitely on my list of next places to visit though. So is Greece.

    I hate to agree because I don’t want any more of us Americans to ruin it but Portugal has Excellent Value. Good meat and seafood. Very diverse. Most Americans won’t be able to do all the walking unless you are from Philly or NYC. No fast food and people actually read books. All the book stores in the US close. Great Place

    Wife and I spent 3 weeks in Portugal in 2021. Rented a car and drove around the entire country. Absolutely loved it. Great food, amazing wine, great history, very affordable. Italy is very affordable outside of the major cities. And a good tip for affordable food in any major city in Europe, get off the main squares. Just a few blocks from major landmarks - you can find small family owned restaurants with awesome food and much lower prices, and usually extremely affordable wine!
