Recommended for all budget travelers in Europe! - Rotterdam, Netherlands
Rotterdam, Netherlands
Early in my childhood, sometime in 1989, I took my first ever trip abroad, to Moscow. I was with my parents and my brother and I still remember the Red Square, the beautiful buildings and the Moscow river.
Much later, about 20 years, I started to travel more, much more than I've done it before and the more I travel the more I want to know.
And every time I was planning to go to somewhere, some questions prevailed, such as: how much I want to spend for airline / flight tickets, what is my limit for accommodation,do I want to share my room and privacy or I want it all for me, what kind of food I would love to eat, should I consider traveling by bus, train or boat, how many touristic places I want to visit, what is my daily budget, is it a safe place to go, should I go with my friends or can I travel alone, are there any special offers? And the list can go on.
Some of the tips are already in my posts, but for now, I want to stop at one aspect of all these expenditures, and to be more specific: airline tickets!
Everybody recognizes that airline tickets is one big headache, and also one big hunk of any traveler, this is why I've decided today to stop on this aspect and give you some tips. For some, these tips can be a very well known path or strategy for others this might be just the beginning of the road.
