TIPS
Hey Backpackers!!
We are Jaione and Lea 2 young girls ,who as most of the young people nowadays, do not have much money but want to travel and explore the world.
Our empty pockets are not going to stop us from our goal: go on adventures and explore the world as much as we can. So here are some tips that may help you in order to travel without spending so much money:
1. Do not travel in special days such as Easter,... Because those are the days where little kids have the school breaks and families decide to travels so the prices go up. In conclusion, try to find a date which is not important, the best months to travel are: june and november. But be careful where you decide to travel in November because the weather can be difficult.
2. The best airlines to travel with when you are broke are: Easyjet, Ryanair and Vueling. These "low cost" airlines have a really bad reputation but they aren't as bad as people say.
3. Whenever you are looking for accommodation the best places to stay are:
-Young hostels: they are really cheap and a good place to meet new people. They are usually really clean. You should look into the comments in the web-pages when you are looking for a place to stay, since they are for young people and young people are always online they post their opinions about the place and you can see how these places really are based on the opinion of other people.
-Renting a bedroom to a family: this is a good option but it is better if you do this when you travel with someone else, just for safety reasons, specially when you are a girl. Usually these places are really safe because they need to pass inspections and everything but it is better to make completely sure that you are safe.
4. Traveling by train: The train is cheaper and takes you to the centre of the city.
5. It is always a good option to have a card which shows that you are a student in order to get discounts in museums, stores, flights, accommodation,.. and all that kind of stuff. If you are interested on getting your own student identity card here it is the link to get it:

6. Whenever you are visiting some place do not focus on visiting just the typical Landscapes, walk around the city without a map and discover new things. Go out from the tourist zone, otherwise you will not really know a place!
