Traveling is your passion even in winter and you would love to constantly get to know new countries, people and cultures - if it weren't for the crucial money problem. No problem, we'll help you! In addition to extremely cheap mobility (e.g. with the Flixbus ), you can also quickly find free or cheap accommodation. Often just being creative is enough!
Here you can find out how you can stay overnight on your low budget trip for little money.
A&O hostels and hotels
At A&O hostels and hotels you will always find cheap and clean places all over Europe that will enrich your low budget trip. With this low budget accommodation you benefit from the 24-hour reception and can also choose whether you would like to book breakfast or bring your own bed linen. It doesn't get much better than this!
Rent private accommodation
It will be much cheaper - assuming you have contacts at the destination - to spend the night on the couch with friends. If you don't know anyone at holiday destination XY, you can still use private accommodation and save money.
For example, do you know 9flats or WIMDU ? Here you can find people all over the world who rent out a room or their entire four walls. You can find really crazy accommodations, such as an igloo in the snow or Bedouin camps in the desert . This can be done on a daily or monthly basis. In addition, you usually get a fully equipped apartment and can use the household goods such as the kitchen with dishes. Look for accommodation today!
House sitting
Wouldn't you mind staying in a luxury villa for a while and not paying a cent for it? Hire as a house sitter and take care of the apartments or houses whose owners are away. Low budget travel at its best! How else do you get luxurious accommodation for next to nothing ?!
To do this, you can register with House Carers or Mind my House , for example, and apply for jobs there.
Low budget travel with a camper
It's always cheaper than a hotel on your low budget trip at a campsite - whether in a bungalow or in a camper! This doesn't have to be uncomfortable. You can rent your own camper , which is heated in winter! You can also choose between different campsites. Just like with hotels, there is a star system that shows you what to expect.
Camping (warning: not for faint-hearted people!)
An incredibly cheap low budget travel tip: camping! Usually super cheap and fun too - provided you wrap up warm in the cold seasons! This is a great way to travel cheaply and enjoy nature wonderfully - hardly any other type of low budget traveling allows such closeness to nature as camping.
Depending on which country you are traveling in, you can camp wild. This means you simply pitch your tent freely in nature. Here you can find out where spontaneous camping is legal.
Couchsurfing
Here you can establish contact with people at your desired travel destination and spend the night on the provider's couch or small guest room - low budget travel at much cheaper prices than in an expensive hotel or completely free of charge .
It is usually also an excellent opportunity to get to know locals. There is hardly a better way to experience the country, people and culture better! For example, find out more here .
No matter which travel destination or accommodation you choose, be on the safe side and take out international student health insurance before you leave!
