Tips for budget accomodation in Europe
Lots of travellers online like to talk about the exciting part of their trip - the champagne drinking on Carribbean yachts, the lion cub-cuddling on safari - but, to be honest, the most useful conversations are about the boring bit. Planning, booking and accommodation ain’t fun - but they’re what we most want advice on, so we can actually have the bleeding fun in the first place.
So big bouncy love to STA Explorers Meg and Mojo for the latest post on their Epic Interrail Romp blog, which outlines their preparations for interrailing across Europe such as booking tickets, flights and hostels. In particular, they describe which hostels they have chosen and why, give their list of benefits of booking a place in advance, and give more general tips for how to save money and hassle when thinking about accommodation.
The girls are on a budget so they’ve sourced some great cheap places - but they also want to ’shake it up a bit’ so they’re looking at a wide selection of digs with different atmospheres: ‘basic hostels, home-run places, budget hotels and a friend’s house’.
Read their advice and do add a comment with any questions or suggestions of your own.
