TRAVELING ON A BUDGET


Yesterday night I was surfing on the net and reading magazines to find inspiratins for other posts, before I did some researches for little low cost gateway, I'm going to have some in the 2014.
In my weekly magazine Donna Moderna there was a very interesting article on travel that you can afford in Italy and Europe changing a little bit your daily habits.

Do you buy daily breakfast from cafe? Do you go  once per week into nail saloon? Do you smoke? Do you choose often take way and pizza home restaurant?


Considering that average breakfast in a cafe cost is about €2 try to bring coffeee and snack from home and do nails 4 times at home by yourself, saving €125 you can spent 2 days in Dolomites in the town of SAn Candido for the Snow festival from 20 till 22 of December.


Do you chose at least 3 times per week take away? First is bad for your healt and considering that average take away cost is €15 is really bad for your wallet too, if you rinounce to it for a month you can save €180 and you can spend a week end in "Champagne valley" in France, learning about chanmpagne and sleeping into historic homes (more info here).


You recently accepted extra job as baby sitter and your hour rate is €8? well with 15 hours of work an the cost of 2 big ice cream (€2.50 each)you can afford a lovely gateway into Amalfi Coast, honestly I loved this country and I suggest to don't miss local typical food as Bufala mozzarella cheese, lemon.


You are the typial person that not only do breakfast on cafe but buy also lunch daily? well considering that average cost of lunch is €8, you can try bring it from home for a month and you'll save €200, price that will permit you to visit Saxony country, city of Dresna where is born the first Christmas market in 1434, if you wwrite to tourist office (info@sachsen-tour.de) you can spend 3 days half pension, one typical dinner, one tour in manufacturings and a travel inSTeam train.


Do you smoke? well for me cigarettes are a waste of money and plus are really bad for your healt, plus are became really expensive, now if you are able to rinounce about 20 cigarettes packs and 2 wine (€15 each) you can go into MAremma, in Tuscany deciding if you want discover and explore it by bike or by horse, ok this isnt so cheap because country hotel cost €110 per night but it is a magic experience!info hotel here


You love to have social life, meet friends and your favourite thing is happy hour and to do sport you did a subscription in a swimming pool (€6 each time), well if you rinounce on 18 happy hours (you can organize cheaper at home) and 7 swimming pool session you can go in London,until 15 of February there is Henry V by Shakespear on the Noel Coward Theatre. Hotel+theatre oacks prices start from €142 per night but with €222 you can spend 3 nights, plus if you book before 31 of October there is a ruise from Westmister to Tower Bridge, until March 2014 in the TAte modern there is expo dedicated to Paul Klee (info gallery here)


or you choose a lot of time pizza home restaurant end everytime you need to buy a new lipstick you buy only expensive brand? well try to organize pizza dinner at home with friend doing it by yourself, cheaper andhealtier, plus if you dont really need a new one dont buy a new lipstick (saving at least €10), doing this you can save the amount of €270 to visit Salento, in the south of Italy weather and temperaute are good all the year, plus you can have "holiday with counselor" you will spend a holiday in the baroque jewel Risorgimento Resort in Lecce, a meeting with a life coach and a massage in the spa, then you can walk in Rauccio's park info park here.


Small changes, day by day can permit you lovely gateways, wallet and healt will thank you!!!
