How much would it cost to travel around Europe?
I am planning on backpacking around Europe for half a year after year twelve. I would be visiting England, Scotland, France, Switzerland, Italy, Greece and Germany but I have family and friends to stay with in France, Scotland, England and Germany. So If anyone has any recommendations about I should stay or could tell me about how much it would cost that would be great. I know it will be expensive as well so if you know any ways to reduce costs or make money that would be amazing. Thank you

Hey Hun To figure out how much money you will need, you must first consider where it is you are traveling to. Much of the world is quite inexpensive, but there are places that will drain your wallet faster than others. London, anywhere in Scandinavia, and Japan are some of the most expensive places to travel in. On the flip side, you can live and travel in parts of the Philippines for a couple of dollars a day. Next, break down your expenses into initial costs and daily costs. Initial costs include your airline ticket, your backpack, passport, guidebook, hostel card and all other equipment purchased before you leave. Already have some of this stuff? Can you borrow any of it from friends? If so, you're saving money already. If you are headed for Europe, a Eurail pass would also be a wise initial expense. The next thing to consider is how many days you will be away. Obviously, the longer your trip, the more money you will need. Now you can figure out roughly how much you will spend on the following each day: accommodations, food, transportation and sight-seeing. A typical travel budget for one day in Europe might look something like this: Accommodations: $15 Food: $16 Transportation: $4 Sight-seeing: $5 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total: $40 You can now multiply your total daily budget by the number of days you will be away. For example, if you were to be gone for one month (30 days), your total cost would be around $1200, just for daily expenses. Then add on your initial costs to get your total travel budget: Daily budget x Number of days + Initial costs = Total budget Remember that these prices are only an example and that your daily budget will be an average. Obviously you won't be paying for museums everyday, but $5/day is a good average. Prices are so variable everywhere you go that a daily budget could be half this (or double). Check your travel guide to get a good idea how much your accommodations might cost. They usually list visa prices as well. And don't forget to allow for any extra expenses. If your calculated total travel budget is much higher than you think you can manage to save up, you shouldn't let that stop you from going abroad. There are plenty of options to travel on the really cheap, and you can always consider finding work abroad. Happy Travels!
