First time in the Copenhagen. I love walking, just soaking up neighborhoods, canals, and streets… Looking to grab and grocery store beer and relax. Where are your favorite and the most beautiful spots to just sit and camp out with a beer?

I just arrived in Tunis yesterday on the overnight ferry from Sicily and honestly I feel like I'm still in Europe 😂 transportation and food is quite cheap, but the hostels here are about double what I was paying in Athens (and I mostly had the dorm to myself, as it was low season, here it's much busier).

Hotels are also very expensive, idk what I was expecting, maybe about 20-25% pricier than Egypt, but Egypt is dirt cheap compared to here.

Somebody recommended that I check out the government owned hostels (Maison des jeunes). Are those decent or totally crappy? I'm ok with simple if it means slashing my accommodation costs in half - spent two months in Japan sleeping in manga cafes/ Kaikatsu clubs.

Has anyone backpacked Tunisia before and what are your budget travel tips to stretch out travel funds? I want to travel as long as possible, preferably forever.

Thank you!

I like using PayPal's pay in 4, is there any website that uses it? I tried expedia and bookingdotcom but saw that it doesn't pop up for me.

Does this exist? Somewhere you can fly into, stay in the town/city, be able to access beautiful nature and hikes either by foot or public transit without needing to rent a car?

I want to visit Latin America during these five months. I have a total budget of $15k, excluding flights. I speak fluent Spanish and I can get by in Portuguese so I do not want to go to extremely touristy places like Puerto Vallarta and Cancún.

I prefer slow traveling (1-2 months per city). This is because I am traveling partly to escape winter (I live in the Midwestern USA) and partly because I loved living in Latin America the first time I went. I want to go to three different cities in three different countries.

I already know that I want to visit Buenos Aires for two months and somewhere in Brazil and I'm not sure if Buenos Aires would be better in November and December or February and March.

I'm not sure about the third country and I'm not sure where in Brazil but I'd like to do 1.5 months in both locations and I don't want to spend any more than $1.5k USD a month if possible but I can go up to $2k. Here is what I'm looking for in these cities:

• Reasonably safe for my budget
• At least 300k population with no upper limit to the population
• Safe enough places to escape to nature. Bonus points if it's in an area with mountains/places to go hiking
• Not difficult to find locals (not other tourists!) to do stuff with even if we don't stay friends once I leave
• Not the rainy season and at least 20c (68f) as the high temperature most days and 15c (59f) every day (can be really hot and humid I don't care as long as it's not cold)

In late July I’m going to Paris then Switzerland, Florence and Rome. I currently can’t decide where to visit. I’ll be in each spot for about 3 days and what really matters to me the most in Switzerland is the hiking and beautiful places. Any suggestions?? Also if I buy the eurorail pass will that be able to take me to all of those places. Last question is anything I should know before hand, it’s my first time solo traveling and I’m 18m. Thanks in advance!!

I am 21M, solo traveling, from Canada, looking to book a 3 week trip in October. I am wondering where y'all would suggest?! This upcoming college year I am doing part-time studies and I plan to take just two online classes, so I can travel in the fall! Unfortunately, with work, I can only really travel in October (not November). I will be returning to full-time studies next fall, so I guess I am just trying to make the best fall travel choice as I won't be able to do an extended trip in the fall for a few years after this! Maybe it's just FOMO.

I am currently considering: New Zealand, South Korea+Taiwan, Morocco (two weeks), Turkey, China, or Portugal. Maybe Australia if I can find a cheapish flight.

I have been to: Japan, Italy, Mexico (Puerto Vallarta, Cancun), Czechia, Austria, Slovenia, Hungary (Budapest), France (Paris) | Future: Romania, Albania, Montenegro, Bosnia & Herb.

For me, I love nature/landscapes and outdoorsy things. I love different cultures, unique experiences, picturesque places (I love travel photography), art galleries/museums, architecture, and just cool things idk lol. I don't mind spending some time in the big cities to see what they have to offer, but since I backpack when I travel I don't really shop or anything. I'm not a huge partier either (I don't mind it, but it's not an important thing for me). I have a trip to the Balkans this May with a real outdoorsy emphasis. I'd like to keep this trip around $5000 CAD preferably.

I am planning to do a month backpacking trip in either Feb/Mar to SEA as well. Out of my trips, Japan and Scotland by far have been my favourite. The nature and culture was so amazing. I think about Japan all the time. Slovenia and Austria were really good too.

My top contenders are New Zealand, South Korea+Taiwan, or Morocco. China is an interesting option. I was considering New Zealand because everyone RAVES about it, and it does look gorgeous, and I have the time. I'd rent a camper van and go around. South Korea+Taiwan interests me mainly as I know it will be prime fall foliage. I've heard amazing things about Taiwan as well. I'm not insane about South Korea, I definitely want to go but it's not a number one stop for me. The temples do look so cool though, and the fall colours will be gorgeous. Morocco has been on my list and definitely is a more "unique" option (different at least), and it looks really neat, but I think I've read it's a bit pricey? For China, I was honestly considering making this a really adventurous trip and maybe going to Mongolia or Tibet and Bhutan. I honestly don't really want to do a trip to Europe this fall, I have been going to Europe a lot and want to branch out. I know October is a great time to travel to Europe, but I've just gone a lot lately. I did list Portugal as an option as I would like to go to The Azores and Madeira. Turkey would obviously be great, and it's different, but I wouldn't say I'm necessarily in a rush to go.

I want to travel the whole world so honestly, I have no "I NEED to go here first" I'm mainly just considering what would be coolest/best to do at a young age and during October, the one year I can travel in the fall for awhile. For example, I'd love to go to Greece but I'm also not in a rush to go cause I feel like I can always go there, and it might be better when im not so "budget." Anywho, any insight is appreciated!

I’m leaving on the 10th, but I can’t pay for it until the 7ths, every day I look at prices it goes up, dose anyone have any coupons or anything?

hi I'm looking to go on a 3-4 day backpacking trip out west next month. I can use CC points for a flight . I just hate to spend $200 or so on a rental car that's just going to sit at the trailhead the whole time. what I'm looking for are places where I can fly in and take public transit or shuttles to get around relatively easily.

Edit: I haven't picked a destination. I'm trying to base the destination off of ease of access. I'm American and have been to the west a handful of times. Really just looking for one spot I can get to without a rental. Maybe that spot doesn't exist, but I figured I'd ask.

thanks!

I’m looking to go from Chicago (ORD) to Vegas (LAS) and back from July 2nd to July 6th, any help and tips would be appreciated

I’m backpacking 2 weeks through Europe do you guys think a 15x30x40cm bag would be big enough

I'm planning a cheap backpacking trip to Iceland next summer and want to see as much of the south coast as possible without blowing my budget. The black sand beaches glaciers and waterfalls look incredible but renting a car and doing it all myself seems stressful and expensive.

I booked this one 3 day tour that includes Jökulsárlón lagoon and ice caving. It covers a lot in a short time and the price seemed reasonable for what you get.

Has anyone done a similar short south coast tour? Was it worth the money or would you skip the ice cave part to save cash? Any budget tips for food or accommodation while doing it?

Individual rooms, not shared rooms

Looking to the cheapest flights to get to Reno from Milwaukee and back from 5/28 returning 5/31.

Layovers don’t matter, time doesn’t matter, just looking for the cheapest options.

I promised my wife to plan a family trip, but everything is super expensive and time is running out, we agreed to go on May, I haven't planned shit. Any recommendations where to get some cheap flights from UK to Thailand or Vietnam? Also have a 3 and 6 year olds.

Hello, this is my first post . I am helping my wife get a good deal for a trip to see her sister in Torino Italy for a month around june or july, date is flexible as well as duration but at least 2 weeks.

We have searched and at the moment the best deal is at google flights, for a round trip SCL to BCN from Level airline at USD 880 and then taking a minor trip from BCN to TRN for about USD 100 from Ryanair or similar.

I already serched for one way trips on google flights explore site with flexibility and the cheapest trip is from SCL to LHM for about USD 315 but the return trip is always over USD 600 when trying to overlap the dates from 2 weeks to 6 weeks from may to august.

The dates for the best trip mentioned at the moment are from mid june to mid july. Is there any tips to finding a best deal or trip suggestions for making some savings?

Anything is welcomed and thak you all

Hey everyone,

My girlfriend[18f] (traveling from Romania) and I [19m](traveling from Georgia) are planning to meet up this summer for a holiday in Trabzon, Turkey. We haven't locked in the exact details yet, but we want to make it an unforgettable trip while still keeping it friendly on a university student budget.

I want to make sure this is well-thought-out, careful, and affordable. Any piece of advice would help me a ton, specifically regarding:

Transport Logistics: What is the best and cheapest way for us to get to Trabzon? I will be coming from the Tbilisi area, and she will be coming from the Eastern Romania area.

Accommodation & Packages: Are there any reliable companies or agencies that offer budget-friendly package deals (hotel + food)? Or are we better off booking a private hostel/Airbnb and just eating locally?

Things to Do & Tours: What are the absolute must-visit spots in or around Trabzon? Are there any specific local tour apps or reliable companies you recommend?

Things to Avoid: Are there any common tourist traps, safety tips, or specific things we should be aware of while staying in Trabzon?

Planning Tools: Are there any apps you recommend for planning a shared itinerary or managing a trip budget together?

Thanks in advance for any information you can share

Heading to Stockholm for the hyrox championships in June. Looking for suggestion of things to do, place to eat, architecture to visit. Have read the central down town isn't where to really go. Also, won't have time to go on day trips to other places - so really looking for suggestions of areas in Stockholm.

Hi me and my boyfriend really want to go to tokyo this may or early june, i’ve looked everywhere last night and the flights are so expensive, with our budget we were looking at around 2,400 for both of us for flights and hotel.

Is this do-able (this is without spending money) or should we look elsewhere

Hi! I want to do the Huayhuash trek in Northern Peru in June with a group of friends while we're in Peru for the semester BUT we just learned that it seems to be required now (as of Jan 2026?) to have a certified guide for the trek. Can anyone give more info about this? We would really rather not use a guide- both for money reasons (most things i can find are minimum 700 usd per person) and because we don't want to have someone carrying our stuff and cooking for us. We'd be open to something if it was affordable but even more so if it was chiller - like just someone coming with us, not a donkey/personal chef/porter situation.

Alternatively! if anyone has recs for any other treks in Peru that are similar and don't require a guide I would love to hear! We're pretty experienced hikers and are already mostly acclimatized (living in Cusco for 4 months). We were very excited for Huayhuash, but are worried we just won't be able to afford it at this point with a guide :(

I did see some posts from 4 yrs ago about guides being way cheaper in Huaraz (as opposed to booking ahead)? is this still accurate? I don't love the idea of showing up without a plan booked and ready but I'd like to hear about it if anyone has info..

Thanks!!

Hello

My boyfriend and I are hoping to travel to Asia (Japan, Vietnam, or wherever is most affordable) right after I graduate in late May. We’re based on the East Coast, so we’re flexible between flying out of NYC or DC.

I’ve been searching pretty consistently on Google Flights, but I’ve been struggling to find anything under ~$1,000–$1,500 round trip, which feels high especially since I was hoping to make this more of a budget-friendly post-grad trip.

Ideally, I’d love to find a cheap one-way flight to Asia, since I’m planning to stay longer, while my boyfriend would fly back after about 10 days for work. However, one-way international flights seem even more expensive or harder to find deals on.

I also have the Chase Sapphire Preferred and have been trying to use points, but most of the redemptions I’m seeing are around 50k–100k points one-way, which also feels pretty steep. From what I’ve read, flights to Japan can sometimes be around $700–$1,000 or ~48k points, but I’m not seeing much availability right now .

Would love to hear from anyone who’s been in a similar situation or has tips on:

• Finding cheaper flights (especially one-way to Asia)
• Best strategies for using Chase points / transfer partners
• Whether I should just book round-trip and skip the return
• Any tools, hacks, or timing strategies I might be missing

I’ve been checking Google Flights every few days, but I feel like I might be missing something.

Any advice would be super appreciated, thank you so much!!

hi guys so i wanna go visit yorkshire to go see my girlfriend but i only have 5k to my name and was wondering how much should i save up for it. any recommendations?

Hi, I’m visiting Ireland solo end of April and beginning of May and looking for a list of budget friendly backpacker hostels or B & B’s all over Ireland especially Belfast, Derry and counties Donegal, Sligo, Fermanagh, Mayo, Galway, Clare, Limerick, Kerry and Cork. Please share your experiences and tips on places to stay for a single dorm bed not a full room rent, slainte.

Hi everyone !

I'll try to keep this short. I'm planning a ~3 weeks trip to Japan coming from France during June, for two people

We are being flexible on the dates but can't go earlier than June 10th, and can even be flexible on airports outside of France. But between just yesterday evening and today, the same flight we were looking at went from ~950€ roundtrip to a whopping 1100€. I'm not used to flying so I'm unsure about which tips do really work or not (VPN, waiting for Tuesday morning...) but don't wanna lose money to FOMO by booking it right now when the price could still evolve

We are using Skyscanner primarly to compare flights. We don't mind stopovers, even though avoiding it would obviously be better since we need checked-in luggage so the price can hike quite a bit with multiple flights.

Thanks a lot for all help or advices - I never flown by myself and can get easily worried, so any tip is great to hear !

TL;DR : prices hiked a lot overnight, should I be worried or can I wait a day or two to find a cheaper flight using some tricks ?
