You know how in the movies, there's the scene where the character is sitting in train, looking out the window? It have you heard countless stories about saving money on hostels by taking an overnight train? What they don't show is how much our character pays.
Maybe if you're under 26, this is a possibility, but the euro rail pass, I determined, would hardly be worth it on my trip. So, I'm taking it step by step.
As it turns it, transportation in Europe I'd REALLY extensive. A train ride lasting a few hours can easily cost $150. My euro star trip did, and since then I haven't taken any major trip by train. Crazy enough, even flying is cheaper sometimes. My host in Edinburgh even said she's planning on taking a plane to London instead of a train. Remember, this is a domestic trip, what exactly causes a train to be so much more expensive?
I'm already looking into bus trips to Munich. Most other bus trips would take over 6 hours, but this one should be only 30€ and three hours. Ride sharing through blablacar has been pretty popular here too. After checking my bank account today, I'm definitely in need of more affordable options.
The way if the spontaneous budget traveler is, sadly, a thing of the past.
