Alexander Travelbum awesome. I may try this
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
get like 200 off your air bnb by getting a week to a month at a time
get the centurion american express credit card or the Jp morgan palladium credit card and youll get bigger discount on airbnb then that!
Have you ever been to Elba I would love to go there
taking 1700 and praying i make it through 30 days. Im about to die. May the couch surfing gods be with me
Good luck. May the gods look over you 🙏🏻
How's it going so far?
@@AlexanderTravelbum I Survived and had a crazy amazing time. Couchsurfing is the only way to travel oh my gosh!
Casandra Ramsey what’d you spend most of the money on?
@@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.
Hey great to hear! I'm going to backpack with 4 friends once high school is done!
Which hostel did you stay at?
@@maximusdellaquila yes but from there its eastern europe. And also they stole germany
which city are you?
Go to Kraków, not Warsaw. Croatia would be my choice tho. Much more beautiful and better weather.
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
South is cheaper doesn't apply to the UK. The North is far cheaper
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! :)
Exactly ✊🏻
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.
@@someone_5870 more like plan 1 to 2 days in advance. But be flexible
In planning a 30 day trip to Europe in September and so far your channel has been the most helpful. Thanks Alex!
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
Crystal Rivera me too! I’m gonna be 18 when I go (taking a gap year haha) and none of my friends wanna go but going alone kinda freaks me out😂
@@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
Crystal Rivera what month are you going?
@@jennifervelyvis6372 Me tooo! Can't take a gap year but going to use my summer well.
*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._
You can't or you can? Ears or years?

Thanks for the advice, planning on making this trip next year and bringing some friends with me. It's going to be great!

If I go, without a doubt this video will have been the biggest help

So helpful.
Couch surfing sounds great but scary at the same time lol or is it just me?
Yes it can be, but if you’re careful and talk a lot to the host before staying, you can usually get a pretty good idea of the person
Yea... one of the only bad things about being a chick
It's scary because we're women..
@@merle0388 you should just get a hotel. Don't risk it. People in this world are evil
Yeah It does and me as a women I prefer to pay a little bit more for a hostel or airbnb and be safer!
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 ❤️❤️
Yes!
I’m planning a one year trip across all of Europe, wish me luck I’m getting tickets this January like he said

Thank u!
Great tips, thank you! Did you happen to make that travel debit/credit card video?
Thanks! I actually haven’t, I wasn’t sure if anyone would actually be interested in it. I guess I should
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 😊
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!
nice
Hi Alex,
thank you for your video. Could we recommend our web tool for multi-destination trips?
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
Great
Wow, I didn’t realize this was ever possible... Eurorail might be cool! I really like to save a few bucks
Wanna Wander its very possible
I’m new I like video
my question is, what do you do with your day pack and regular pack?
workaway is also there
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
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 :)
The country that doesn't match up with the 'travel south' idea? Croatia. Split, Hvar, Korčula and Dubrovnik are way more expensive than Zagreb
Add to the fact that Dubrovnik is expensive AF.
When you go to the less touristy places, how do you handle the language barrier if you don't know their language?
Is there a global sim card with 3g?
Or what is the best sim card in Europe for internet..?
do you guys think it's possible to travel from oslo, through denmark, through germany, across austria and into croatia on electric mountain bikes? (Thinking 6 months and 15000 dollars for two of us?
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
@@AlexanderTravelbum yes that helps amazingly! You're super cool man. You seem like an awesome person to travel with! Keep the content rolling :)
I am traveling 8 countries in Europe in 6 months. I am traveling alone and I am looking forward to it. Is traveling with like contiki the best option?
this year iv been in 8 countrys . and i cant stop thinking about where to next 😃
How did it went? :D
Thumbs Up Just For The Hair 👍😂
💂♂️
Don't eat out much, there are supermarkets everywhere, so if you don't have enough for too much, do that.
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
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 live in Europe so flights are very cheap, I’m gonna fly to Amsterdam for an event and backpack home to Copenhagen
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
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?
You can admire sagrada familia from the outside. Park Guell was only 8 euros if I remember correctly.
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
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
Watching this during Covid hurts
I'm doing 25 days in egypt and 12 days in South Korea next year
That sounds awesome
Yesss 😁
👍🏼
I like your accent. Are you Canadian?
How much would u recommend to Bring if traveling through Europe for 6 weeks in hostels
Same thing
Name what countries you’ve gone to I have been to us and Mexico and Canada
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?
Where is the link for the eurail?
Do you need a visa to do this?
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
Is couch surfing safe?
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.
Her the europass and see everything
Wooooooooo
I want to try this but I’m so scared, and I’ve never been anywhere but California
You can do it.
👍
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
I’ll go 2 months to Europe in winter,we are a couple our budget is 3000 a month do you think that will be enough?
Depends on what you expect and what you want to do... How many countries you want to visit in a month, but 3000 is a lot of money, expect to get short in money if you want to party in a super yacht in monaco or soemthing like that....
It’s 3000 for me and my husband 😬,It’s like 1500 per person,We want to know at least 6 countries,We plan to stay with Cousurfing I love that app,We would like to camp but it’s winter so maybe s too cold.Would you recomend travel by eurorail or bus?
1500 a month is definitely enough especially in winter. Europe is full of tourists in summer and prices go up like crazy. Try Central Europe. It's very convenient to get around. Countries like Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia (I am from there), Hungary, Austria (AT is expensive in summer but definitely cheaper in winter). Best way to get around Central Europe is by train/bus and it's much cheaper compared to France or the UK.
Also, central European countries are very safe, actually safer than western Europe.
If you want to visit 6 countries, you will be able to visit 6 or even more if you focus on that area. You can take a train from Prague to Berlin, or a bus/train from Vienna/Bratislava to Southern Europe. It's very easy to get around. Check out Flixbus...nice buses and actually very cheap. I think it's a German company but you can get around most of Europe with them. They are great for long distance travel if you are on a budget.
Don't forget to check out European budget airlines (Easyjet, Ryanair, Whizz air etc). You can get return tickets from central Europe to Spain, Italy, Greece, UK and even Israel for 10 - 30€ and it only takes 2 - 3 hours to get to these destinations 🙂
I want to do like you but if I am successful with my videos, I will go around the world like you too.
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!
Bro I'm from Pakistan so how can I visit there.
Is it better to carry cash rather than a credit or debit card?
I carry both, but always pay with cash whenever you can. And hide your cards
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!
