    I have a question I'd like to hear you talk about In a future video.... How much did you plan your journey before leaving Ireland? Booking trains and hostels ect.

  • @Live.Adventure.Travel

    Good question, before leaving I made a list of hostels I wanted to stay in (maybe 3 per destination) and then an estimated route. Originally I had nothing pre booked however I quickly learned that the prices where climbing the closer I got to peak season. So, once I reached Italy I pre-booked my remaining hostels as I was afraid leaving it to the last minute would cost too much money. To be honest I'm not a big fan of travelling this way as there is little room for flexibility but it is kind of necessary when travelling through Europe in the summer months.

I wanted to ask you about the seat reservation that is needed on some trains additionally with the Eurail pass. Can we do it online? Or do you need to go to the station for that?

    ​@@Live.Adventure.TravelYes ! We have to book our accomodations as soon as possible almost !! But,not a year or two ahead as their prices are way too high because they have no good idea ,yet. For most popular hotels / hostels ,we have to reserve a year or two ahead ,though ! In summer ,we should make reservations in months ahead !! A half year or even a year in advance !! Ireland is very expensive. In a way ,it's more than England, London particularly. Because we still can get great deal with budget hotels in London in summer if we book in advance !! But,I couldn't find the similar prices for Dublin when I googled !! Nothing was under $150/night there ,I believe ! 💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞

    My daily budget for travelling is £75 per day for everything. I'm definitely one for free activities, walking everywhere and avoiding cafés, bars and restaurants. Careful budgeting and planning is crucial for travelling.

    ​@@kristinemendoza7355I believe if you stay at a hostel. You cook breakfast/ dinner ,only eat out once a day = lunch. Stick with walking tours with locals, they're usually free ,you only tip ! Hop on hop off busses are about $25 ! Then,walk mostly ! Stick with busses ! You don't drink alcohol, or 1 a day .Or even a budget hotel ,if you share with your friend Then ,totally can !! 💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞

    Thank you SO MUCH of the video, it surely is helpful! I'm taking notes as I'm in a classroom! I have one question though: when it comes to taking an Uber, can we pay cash/card? Or is the app automatically linked to a European bank card? I'll be going from the Middle East and I don't plan on opening a bank account in Europe (or is it a must?). I'd much rather to swipe my international debit card onto the machine.

    How long in advance did you book your accommodation in advance whilst travelling during the summer months? I am planning on doing a similar trip this year but don't want to have everything planned out because I want to be flexible. However I also recognise that this could leave me in a situation where there may not me affordable accommodation in the area because everything else is already booked up. Your guidance is greatly appreciated!

    I literally swear by it! So good for keeping on track of spending. No I use VHI for travel insurance. And they are the best. I have had to come home durning a trip a few years ago due to an accident and they where very good throughout. Although I think they are only based in Ireland

    probably too late now, but its total amount of money at the beginning of the trip, divided by the amount of day's you're traveling... however, budget is entirely personal, and is dependent on many factors

    I didnt do more than 2 week solo in Europe so if I extend to 4 months. I probably finishing with 5K Euros. But i go extereme cheap on food (always eating bakery from Lidl and drinking energy drink) and cheapest hostel possible (I even stayed in a WWII bunker in Brno hhahah) So for 114 days i might not able to keep it extreme cheap so 8K is also a good number. Much love

    Haha yes! It’s definitely possible to do it cheaper than I did. Yeah so when you go past maybe 6 weeks you get into a really tired state and staying in budget gets really hard but once I booked myself a private room for a week I was back on track 😂😂😂
