Need advice for Euro Trip (budget)
Okay so I'm planning on going to Europe over the next summer but i'm not sure how much money i need to save. I plan on staying for a month from June to July, traveling throughout England, France, Ireland, Spain, and possibly others. I just wanna know what a reasonable amount of money is to spend each day. I plan on staying in hostels eating cheaply; just kinda living bare bones because i dont need alot (but i do plan on doing some drinking if ya know what i mean) Please help me out, how much money should i save!? I'm hoping 3000 or so will be fine (not including airfare)
(from USA btw).
thanks

A month on $3000, not including airfare is easy!!! In fact you could probably indulge some on that budget... I mean $100 a day budget is a lot... In the summer months you are going to spend around $20-$25 for a dorm bed in most of the countries you are going to, so that leaves a lot exta $ per day... Even with that money, I still always suggest eating and buying beer from Grocery stores or street food vendors... Cheaper, and even with the high daily budget, allows you to do those splurge days that add up.... So yeah, if you are planning on living bare bones minus drinking, $50ish per day should be pretty easy.... Enjoy and safe travels!!!

Totally... you can definitely be a baller with that budget. My advice would be to pretend like you only have 2500, then buy something REALLY AWESOME to bring home Like I dunno, a Spanish guitar or a Flemish painting or an authentic English boardsword, or an Spartan sword from Greece, or holy water blessed by the Pope, or an everlasting French baguette, or an perhaps some moulins from the Moulin Rouge.
But you get the idea

Simply, it depends on your lifestyle that how would you like to spend your vacation trip. First of all, search for airfares, hotels and rental cars, you can get the overview about the budget. And you can search here according to your need and requirements and then start to save money. Enjoy the journey
