QUOTE(sochaikeong @ May 13 2014, 08:24 AM) It's really expensive to stay in a single bedroom hostel in Europe. it might cost you around 40-60euro/night. i spend less then that for 3mths in europe..excluding flight ticket..Hostel : 5 weeks = 1400 euro Food: 3 euro for a baguette with tuna or mayo and lets say you dont eat that much, 10 euro for a day = 350 euro Transport: lets say you get a pretty decent offer, 40 euro/ destination by train= (6 destination) 240-300 euro Roughly RM 10,000 for 5 weeks. |

QUOTE(investor77 @ Jun 3 2014, 11:35 PM) 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 !! QUOTE(beederbest @ Jun 8 2014, 01:13 AM) well heres the countries i covered in 3mths..HARDCOREfrance -paris belgium - brussels netherlands - amsterdam,noordwijk chech - prague slovakia-bratislava slovenia austria - vienna germany - frankfurt italy - firenze hungary - budapest poland - krakow 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 ..

QUOTE(investor77 @ Jun 13 2014, 05:46 PM) Thanks for the reply. Normally in our case, we will stay at medium cost hotels, less than 200/nite, eat at food stalls and travel by train where possible. i dont have card with me...thats why the first 2.5mths is freaking hardcore..the last 2weeks only can have more then few meals ..loltrain travel in Switzerland quite expensive. Today's Star paper quoted London as one of the most expensive city. !! Anyway kalau 10k not enough, use credit card loh !! |
