Yay only 8 weeks to go! I've been reviewing my budget and even though I've paid off my trip I'm going to be poor while on tour. After budgeting for my optional extras I've realised that in 6.5 weeks I'm not going to earn a hell of a lot of money. Well, I estimated I could earn a good little sum, until you convert it! The pound and euro are stronger than the AUD so I'm only going to get between a third and two thirds of what I actually have. Does anyone have any tips on having a good time on a tight budget...and what's it like getting backpacker accomodation in the UK in early october? Since I'm staying there for about 10 days after the tour, I'd like to book some accomodation

  1. Hey,
    I’m going on my first trip to Europe in a couple of weeks, but the whole money-thing really confuses me…I have to have Pounds Stirling and also Euro, but I don’t understand travellers cheques and how to use them, or how much foreign currency I should have. Can you please help me out?

  2. I can’t tell you how important it is to save early! My trip was a last minute thing and I’ve only had 6 months to save, which if I’d stuck to my budget would’ve been enough…now with 7 weeks to go I’m stressing about not having enough money to eat lol…it’ll work out but don’t rely on money promised by other people either – they can fall through

  3. Thanks so much for this, I’m coming from Australia and was freaking out about how to get to the hotel. Ta for the tip about the stairs too
