What I Spent on my 2 Month Europe Trip (7 Countries, 18 Cities) | Millennial Money
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ก.ย. 2024
- This summer I traveled throughout Europe with my girlfriend for 50 days, making stops in 18 cities across 7 countries (France, Greece, Italy, Spain, Belgium, The Netherlands, Monaco). I love watching "What I Spend in a Week" videos & you guys have been asking to share what I spent on travel this summer! Hopefully this provides some insight into what a trip like ours across Europe might cost. You can absolutely travel more on a budget, but again this was our trip of a lifetime! I included some travel budget tips/trip planning tips throughout the video, but I can answer any other questions in the comments.

For another budget perspective, I just spent 6 weeks in Europe (7 countries 14 cities) for $5100. Traveling Europe can be done super affordably!! So please don’t think you need to save $25k before you can do a trip like this.
Hey. how did you do this and where did you go? Cheers
Nice!! Yes, I’m going for a couple months, but I’m trying to find the best places to go for decent prices..
This is around my budget and I have never had the liberty to travel Europe before do you have any tips on how you did that or places you saw?
@@alexisv2570 how many weeks to do this all
What sort of lifestyle were you living?
These prices are insane. I've just booked a 10 day 3 country trip for £300 which includes flights, coaches, hostels and trains for the whole trip. Hotel prices really are wild!
just HOW
@@rustybookshelf8566 cheaper flights from where they’re from probably compared to the US?
When you think of it divided by two people it's 15 k approx, and then subtracting the flight costs and again for 60 days that's essentially a little over 200 dollars a day, which for someone who wanted to splurge on a trip of a lifetime to remember in their 20's it's totally worth it! congratulations :)❤
Hello everyone, this is a good guide you are planning a luxurious trip. However my partners and I traveled 30 days throughout 13 cities across spain, france, italy and germany and you can make the trip por aforable. For 2 people 30 day including EVERYTHING (and flights) was about 8,000 USD. You do not have to spend soo much money to have a good time, i had an amazing time, ate great food, always had a private room at hostels, it is do-able at a cheaper buget.
For reference we did go to "expensive' cities: rome, naples, pompey, positano, milan, venice, paris, masella, berlin, munich, fussen, barcelona, madrid
Wow Morgan!! i greatly appreciate all of the transparency with this. this is hands down one of the best informational videos for a euro trip. I hope you get tons of views on this, it is apparent how much work you put into this!!
Aw thank you!! I tried to include as much info as possible without it being an hour long haha. I appreciate it!
I've always wondered how much people spend on their vacations and have never known what is the appropriate amount to splurge/indulge on a trip . Love how transparent you are about it!
Thank you Monica!!
If anyone has ANYTHING negative go to say, I would highly recommend going to all her videos from her destinations first. The places they stayed, things they did, food they ate, experiences they created - about $15k for all that in Europe in the summer - not bad AT ALL!
Would love a follow up video on how you planned this trip Morgan! Did you have a spreadsheet you could share that kept you organized with travel and itineraries?
is it 15 k per person or two?
@@LS-yf6vu Per person- the total for both of them came out to almost $30k
I'm a budget traveler, so I found this so interesting to see what the costs of a more luxury travel style would be. Love your transparency and the breakdown of everything. So well done! P.S. I've lived in Mallorca for 4 years and you have to come back. There's soooo much to see and do on the island. But for me, July and August are absolute hell. So I recommend coming back at basically any other time of the year. The water at Cala Llombards is usually complete turquoise water, but in August the algae makes it turn green. Happens every year. So definitely come back! xx
I agree with the majority on here…thank you for the transparency. Something you very rarely ever see with travel videos on here. You have truly helped me a lot because I’m planning on either Greece or the amalfi coast for next year. It’s a bummer that they are on the higher tier of expense. But the same way you guys saved and made it doable that’s exactly how I’m going to approach it as well. I usually pre-plan and save so this will be no different. When it comes to travel it’s always money well spent.Thank you again so very much!!!
I'm so glad it was helpful! For Greece, Paros is definitely my favorite island over Santorini/Mykonos (stay in Naoussa) where there are more affordable hotel options (even at the hotel we stayed at - we just booked the top room). I've also been to Crete and Ios in the past and enjoyed those, and I want to make it to Milos and Naxos one day (probably the least expensive if you're on a budget)! I don't have many budget tips for Amalfi unfortunately. Saving for a long time is definitely the way to go!
I did 76 days in Europe over the summer on a fairly inefficient itinerary - Netherlands, Finland, Portugal, Spain, Croatia and Belgium. I Was fortunate enough to have been hosted in several cities by good friends. Total spend came out to around 12,000 usd. Festival tickets and hotels were the biggest expenses. 😅
You will never regret spending on travel experiences. What an amazing adventure!
Agreed!!
I am the same way when it comes to food and traveling. I give myself some type of budget, but I eat what I want and don't let the price tag worry me too much. I mean I'm not going for the $1000 meal, but you eat/drink what interests you.
Agreed! That's why I set a high daily food budget ($200) that we very rarely hit, but it allowed for those splurge meals without setting us over
The pics of your trip ! It looks absolutely fab and totally worth it. Do it while you are young and have that throw away money because as you get older you have more responsibilities which adds up to more money and of course retirement to save for. Everyone deserves a vacation/time like this in their lives to look back on and make all the struggles worthwhile. Do it while you can !
Morgan, can you do a Europe’s for dummies kind of video? I’m going to Europe next summer with ef ultimate break and I would love tips about traveling for the first time to Europe or things to know before going.
I did a "20 Travel Mistakes to Avoid on Your Next Trip" video a few years ago that might be helpful for you!
Just a friendly tip for future travelers if you are in the US, the Charles Schwab debit card has no atm fees :) they will pay any atm fee back so it’s AMAZING if your doing a trip like this and it a card with no annual fee.
Being someone who is incredibly organized and makes a google doc for all trips - I LOVED THIS. This is the transparency people need when booking travel (especially internationally)! Thank you for this and all the time spent on it!!! Looked like an unforgettable trip ❤️
Morgan, I love how transparent you were with this!!! I gotta say, I’m not sure what I expected, but this was cheaper than I would have assumed for what seems like such a lovely, extensive vacation. Props to you and Jezzel for working so hard and setting realistic budgets for yourselves to plan this dream trip!!
Thank you!! :)
Kudos for sharing such a transparent and useful breakdown! I feel like we never see this kind of honesty hand in hand with amazing travel vlogs. Thanks for sharing this!
It's like the universe knew I needed this video! 😍My boyfriend and I are currently planning a month long Euro trip to some of the same places for next year. Thank you for being so transparent with all of your expenses! It's really eye opening as to what we can expect to spend. 🙏🏼
I definitely expected it to be less but I think the number in my head was pretty unrealistic 😂 Honestly you’re one of the few people I would trust to make a video like this. So so so so so helpful whether you’re taking a short trip or the trip of a lifetime. Honestly what I’m most impressed with is that you were able to save that much money in less than a year! Amazing video as always ❤️
As someone who traveled Europe a bit this summer I'd say the biggest place you could cut back on is definitely the accommodations! Absolutely no shade to Morgan because the hotels she stayed in look STUNNING and if I could afford it, I'd love to stay in similar ones haha but if you want to cut back on budget definitely consider cheaper accommodations :) there are a lot of hotels and airbnbs that might not break the bank! Just some anecdotal advice
Thank you for this video, it was a huge help in deciding where to go and how to get there.
This is so helpful to see! Breaking down the prices makes something like this more tangible as opposed to aspirational. Saving this for later! Thanks Morgan!
I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you! 😊
Loved this video! It was cool to see a different style of travelling Europe, and a little window into a travel style i havnt experienced before!
If anyone is watching and thinking that they could never have this kind of money (like me!) know it is absolutely possible to travel Europe for this time period for waaaay less! It can be a very cheap place to travel :)
It definitely is!! Hotels + food are easy to spend a lot less on for more budget travel 😊
Absolutely! Whenever I travel Europe, I budget around £300 and its totally doable! But also good on you, you work hard and saved hard, I'm glad you enjoyed having the trip of a lifetime :) it looked fantastic! Some of those hotels!!
Charles Schwab all debit cards have NO ATM FEES, I recommend for all people and travelers!
Thanks for sharing the must dos 🎉
My fiancé and I are planning our 3 month honeymoon in Europe and I just have to say that I found this video so refreshing. Parts of me were very discouraged by seeing people say they only spent $5,000 on a 3 month trip (which is great for them!) but not super realistic for us and our travel style. Thank you for your transparency!
Not to be that person, but omg that’s a ton! I studied abroad for a year and then traveled for 2 months afterwards and spent around $4,500 all in.
She was going for a more luxury trip
thank you! going on my own when i graduate in the spring so this is really helpful. i think its important to spend money on experiences, even if they are expensive
Thanks for the transparency. And for the people who said you can do it cheaper...of course! But the hotel selection is a bit better than hostels which for some people like myself who travel with a partner prefers. 30k comes to about 44k AUD is not too shocking for 50 nights
I absolutely love this video and the breakdown!!! I’m way more of a budget traveler but it’s very cool to see a different budget and all the amazing things you fit in! For the ATM fees - if you have a debit card with Charles Schwab they refund them worldwide!
This makes me feel better about our 4 month Europe trip! We spent $25,000 but stayed twice as long!
Definitely a lot of $$. But the most was hotels and food which would be easy to change to fit your individual budget but it’s going to be expensive regardless. Especially Greece.
Greece is definitely the hardest to scale back $-wise, but there are cheaper/less popular islands too :)
girl this was so comprehensive holy cow - THANK YOU!
Yay!!!! I’m glad it was helpful! I tried to include as much as possible 😅
planning a trip and we def have the same taste so this was INCREDIBLY HELPFUL! thank you!!!!
I really appreciate the transparency of this video a lot of content creators would never share this and I think its helpful !
I'm going to use hostels and I've gave myself a 4000 budget fir everything and this is achievable
This is such a great video and I really appreciate the transparency! What a cool experience!
I totally love your style of traveling! I'm planning on going next October 2025. I'm from Los Angeles and I'm not into backpacking or camping. Even though I wear cowboy boots!
The amount you spent on hostels is just insane
Im not surprised. I pay 25% of that to go visit my daughter at a college GAMEDAY weekend down south for like 3 nights. Lol. You did a lot. I admire your organization too.
So glad I found your video- I am planning a 3 month retirement travel vacation and this helped me a great deal.
Thank you for sharing! It has been so fun coming along with you on this adventure. I am finally in a place in life where I can travel as much as possible so these budget videos are so informative and helpful to watch.
Great video! That’s definitely a trip of a lifetime:)
This summer I also went abroad, and spent 3 months in Europe with a travel partner and collectively spent $14,000. For those who want to travel at a cheaper budget, it is extremely doable to average out 3k per month per person.
Would love to see how you packed, did laundry for this kind of trip.
Usually for Europe I pack in a carry-on because I don't want to risk losing my luggage, but for this trip I wouldn't say I was very strategic haha our bags were over 50 lbs! Mainly packed a bunch of basics, dresses, 1 jacket etc
Just booked flights to Italy!! This was really helpful
LOL. Wow. I spent $7,000 in 7 weeks in Europe hitting 7 different countries (multiple cities in each) hitting all of my bucketlist items, and staying in hotels, drinking and eating great food, cooking classes, gambling in Monaco, wine day trip excursions, the works! This included gifts, flights, hotels and more. I can't believe you spent that much. Crazy.
Almost 30k! Holy smokes that makes me feel so much better on how much I spent on my trip to Hawaii haha. I went over budget but the total price was nothing compared to what you spent. I would have a heart attack if I spent 30k on a trip!!
Honestly, this is not too shocking for 50 days in Europe.
@@pandainpearls yes it is lol my roommate is in Europe right now for 4 months and her budget is a third. Morgan can afford it so it's fine but 30k for 2 months is still shocking
We love the transparency! This is so helpful, thank you so much!
THANK YOU SO MUCH for so much transparency in making this!
Different people have different priorities. I would definitely spend that much on a travel over a car, a bag or any kind of possessions. Great and very informative video. Thanks ❤
I did 2 months this past summer on 5,000 USD. 7 countries (UK, Ireland, Netherlands, Germany, France, Spain, Portugal) and a eurail pass. Just an fyi to my budget travelers it is definitely possible!
What an amazing trip, Morgan! Definitely one of a lifetime and something you’ll never forget.
The trip looked amazing! Definitely the kind of travel I would do myself 💃🏽 Thanks for sharing!
At least this is all a write off as well since your job is youtube
This was very helpful!! Your trip looked like so much fun!
Can you tell us how you packed for the trip?! How many bags did you travel with/outfits for the different places?
Such a useful video! I’m off to travel Italy for a week first solo trip this summer. So insightful! Any recommendations in Rome or Sorrento welcome.
Could you do a video on what your favorite cities were and why, what places you would recommend as a great trip and why… you had so many amazing experiences… would love to know where I should go if I could only choose 5
Thanks !!
Honestly, traveling is like the best thing to spend money on
I really appreciate you making this video, it was so insightful!
I would loveee to know how/what you packed for 50 days and so many countries
Thank you for all of that information.
Would it be possible to see your spreadsheet ?
Glad YT recommended your channel. New subbie here. Love this video and planning on travelling to Europe sometime next year.
Aww thanks for being here!!
Very nice video and trip! I think the cost is very reasonable considering you weren’t trying to do budget travel. In comparison I spent 20k for 2 for 2 weeks only in Italy, but we did have to pay for flights from USA. I think we spent more on food, drinks and entertainment. My husband requires a full breakfast each day.
Thank you so much. Overall, which city was your favorite?
100% on Mónaco not having taxis 😂 learned that the hard way! but if you think about it, it’s bc everyone’s driving their luxury cars lol
I find it so incredible that you guys saved each week & had such a big amount saved for the trip. Way to go!! My friend & I are planning a few trips next year so this is such a good idea. Loved that you told us how much everything really costs. I hope I get to do a big trip like this soon too!!
Is this amount based on converted to USD ???
What is your tip for saving money while travelling ?? You mentioned booking far in advance as possible is one of them what about websites that you recommend as well for booking hotels/flights/trains etc.
Hi Morgan! Thank you so much for this video and the thorough run through of all the expenses, categories, and specifics on who you guys booked with. This is so detailed and absolutely helpful for future references for us all!!
I can wait to start planning and saving for my next vacation. Thank you and big hugs!!
I'm so glad it was helpful!
Thank you for being so transparent!!!
I want to this with my boyfriend!! Such a awesome video!!
Hi Morgan - traveling to Italy this summer and was wondering how you got from Naples to your Positano hotel? Did you rent a car/taxi? I might have missed that in this video, thank you!
This was such an excellent video! I really appreciated how open and specific you were. I'd love to hear more about how you went about structuring the trip overall and more planning tips in general :)
For the most part we already knew what cities we wanted to go to, so we established the order based on proximity/transportation availability! And we added in Bruges & Amsterdam since they were short train rides from Paris/Epernay since we'd have to fly to Greece next anyway. Basically we did as much as we could in one area before flying to somewhere farther & then doing as much as we could near there.
okay if you only had one week or ten days & the tightest budget for a Europe trip, what are the variations of 2 or 3 places you would recommend?
Very informative! Loved this video!
Do you have an itinerary you can share with destination, hotels , restaurants? Anything even a word doc, ppt , google doc!! Thanks so much for sharing this video, it’s super helpful for planning a trip out!
I do not, but all of the destinations and hotels are mentioned in this video! I also have a travel vlog playlist from this trip if you want to see what restaurants we went to/activities we did in cities you're interested in
Thank you for sharing your travel experience! Does this video apply when traveling different states? :)❤
Love the video ❤❤❤❤
Love this video!! Appreciate the transparency and insight into your trip of a lifetime. What vendor did you guys use for the positano sunset boat cruise? Headed to Italy in May!
Their Instagram is @ boatexperiencepositano & I would highly recommend! It's just one guy and he's super sweet
Some of those hotel prices (especially Greece) were Insane and it didn't look justified. Greece isn't even an expensive country to visit outside of Mykonos but then again you can afford it. The trip seemed amazing and full of experiences.
I've booked a 3-month trip across 9 countries in Europe Asia and the US, for $10,000 AUD
love seeing the breakdown! what are your honest thoughts on the EF trip w your subscribers? would you do it again?
I’m going to be hosting a trip through TrovaTrip for next year and will talk about it in my next video! 🤍 Going to survey everyone on where you’d want to go. Would love for you to join - I loved the last one!
I think I need to up my budget! I want to do a 2 month trip in Europe with my 2 daughters and my husband the summer before my oldest goes to college and I had budgeted $35,000. She’ll be 10 next month so I have some time! :)😊
This was soooo helpful!!! Especially including the companies you booked the transportation through. I love all the footage of your trip too - super fun to watch!
I'm so glad!
I think airbnbs are cheaper and want to go that route but have to research all the reviews for a two week italy trip..
Mind blowing! 😳😬 Thanks for sharing 😊
I needed this! When I was watching your vlogs about that trip, I was really curious if how much $$$ do you need to do all of that. ❤
Looks like an amazing trip! What did you do for phone plan? Was that price in the budget? And also travel insurance?
Thanks for sharing the details and being open! It’s really helpful to see what’s possible. Obviously, every trip can be more or less, but it helps to see an actual budget/spending for a trip like this!
Thank you! Back watching this video again. I really appreciate the time and effort put into this so thank you! Also the AE Delta credit card link doesnt work I’ve been trying to use it =/. Xoxo
Ahh so weird! Try this one? americanexpress.com/en-us/referral/MORGAYA0DM?xl=cp19
@@MorganYatesVids thank you! Don’t forget to fix the link in the description box!(:
I absolutely love this video. The level detail of every category and place was wonderful. I’ve been trying to plan a trip like this but money planning has been a headache and this video helped a lot.
Side note: I had the same seasickness when I was on the ferry in Greece. It was a horrible and traumatizing experience so I completely understand. 😢😂
Loved this video!
This is so helpful!!! I’m trying to do a huge summer/spring trip in 2024 since I have a gap between my bachelors and law school! I was also thinking of going 2023 in the later months does anyone like traveling during peak season or is the later season best????
Thank you
Why no Eurail passes? Seems like you could have had some savings.
The EU is currently smacking the train systems around to make it easier to book trains to go between several countries or they will fix it for them.
Going say from Madrid to Amsterdam wouldn't be a single train, instead it would be several companies, no good way to see the connections, etc. and the EU is kind of getting sick of that.
omg the trains between countries/cities are so cheap. my train tickets going from philly to nyc are the same price for some of those
FINALLY🎉🎉🎉
Amazing and so worth it, you can’t take it with you
fantastic video!
Love this thanks for sharing
