HOW TO VISIT 6 EUROPEAN COUNTRIES WITH 165 EURO

By -
I always wanted a long trip in Europe, keeping in mind that I already visited some countries. Moreover, I wanted to feel the travel ''print'' as I would train myself for a Trans-Mongolian journey.

Today I am back with a post on how to visit 6 countries spending 165 euros, creating a mix of plane tickets bookings with buses and trains.

The route is Romania-Italy-Germany-Poland-Czech Republic-Slovakia-Budapest-Romania.



The trip would start from Rome. If you are from Europe, for sure you can get cheap tickets to Italy (WizzAir, Easy Jet, Ryanair). For example, a ticket from Timisoara, Romania to Rome was 35 euro. If adding a big cabin luggage, the ticket price is 43 euro per person.


Here you have an itinerary I booked for myself for a 15-day trip for the 16th of December to the 1st of January.

Arrive 29 Dec at 14:30

Budapest- Timisoara (train)
http://elvira.mav-start.hu/elvira.dll
Depart 01 Jan  at 15:10
Arrive 01 Jan at 21:45
Price:15 euros per person

Keep in mind that when searching for trains to Venice you get the option of Santa Lucia and Mestre. The one you need is Santa Lucia, Mestre being outside of Venice.

As I visited Venice in 2014, I chose to spend just a day, arriving in the morning and departing at night.

I recommend booking tickets in advance for the routes within Italy because they are subject to availability (meaning if there are less on sale tickets, the price goes higher). For example, I missed the economy tickets for Rome-Venice when they were 9 euros per person, for the same train. 

Also, another good place for booking is http://www.trenitalia.com/ 

I will be back with pictures in December.

Do you intend of arranging a similar trip in Europe? Let me know and I am more than happy to help.

HOW DID ROMANIA CHANGE THE WORLD?

The Dracula's country (this is the symbol we are known mostly worldwide) has more to offer than you ever could have imagined. We has as neighbors the Republic of Moldova, Serbia, Hungary, Ukraine and Bulgaria.  Usually, you have no reasons to get out of the country when is about travelling: we have the Black Sea on the East mountains on the middle and the North of the country, fields on the West. The medieval cities kept their structure (like Brasov, Sighisoara, Sibiu, which is an amazing one).  In 2007, Sibiu was the European Capital of Culture and for 2019 wants to be the European Region of Gastronomy. But the question is, what do you think of when you say ''Romania''? Before you answer, here are some details not all people know: 1. Petrache Poenaru invented world's first fountain pen. photo: http://www.cunoastelumea.ro/ 2. The Romanian scientist Nicolae Paulescu invented the insulin.  photo: http://www.rounite.com/ 3. The

HOW AMERICA IS DOING IT DIFFERENTLY

I had the chance to spend over a month in the US the last December and what I can say is that never stops surprising me. It was not my first time there, I have been in the States for one year in 2008 as an exchange student in Michigan. I remember few things when I was in 2008 in Michigan as an exchange student.  My first day of school: nice pants, a nice shirt and high heels. I got to school and the students were wearing  T-Shirts, a pair of converse and end of story.  I was wearing shirts, skirts a lot of times and I was asked if there is a special even today, maybe it is my birthday. This was a real cultural shock. However, being based on my experiences, now I see the culture shock differently. And this is how American lifestyle transited my latest travel experience: 1. People DO NOT walk . I mean, walk from one side to another of the city. If they see you walking, this means you got lost. Interesting, huh? Tested it myself, however you can see a few of them on t
