Yeezai, how do you manage to do that, spend less than 10k for 3 mths !!
Hotels in Switzerland are expensive, Prague, Budapest is cheaper, can get less than RM200/ room for 2 to 3 star. Food and travel in Switz also expensive. better to stay longer at Prague and Budapest !!
Cheap Hotels in Switzerland are youth hostels and even that they charge per person, around 50 CHF per night !!

and i mean hardcore backpacking..i get myself a eurolines month pass and go from countries to countries during the night most of the time and sleep on bus to save on hostels.sometimes i tag along with those europeans that are driving from their own countries and drop me somewhere.sometimes i sleep at bus station while waiting for morning bus to other countries..do note i only take BUS ..i remembered going in poland after midnight and the immigration look at my like im a spy or something..whole bus wait for my passport clearance ..another korean that travel with me didnt have any problem tho..maybe they never had any msian traveller going by land before..lol
met alot of independent backpackers and i tag along with them .sometimes sharing sleeping bag.limit myself to only 2 simple high carb meals that i can get my hands on...no fast food, no restaurant sometimes takeaway sometimes if i stayed in hostel will get some frozen friedrice from supermarket and divided them into 2-3meals ..
no softdrinks for those few mths lol ..only have tap water which is drinkable ..only have few tshirts on me which i dont even bother to change ...
btw thank god i didnt have any encounter with pick pockets or thief ...and i venture too far out nasib still got money to make it back to paris coz theres where my flight back to msia ..the order above isnt right i think..should be like this - netherlands -belgium - france - germany - italy- czech - austria - slovenia - slovakia - poland - germany - netherlands - france ..hope it helps..btw its much more easier to save on trips with couchsurfing nowadays...and my trip was in 07 ..
