Europe String

Do you like Avril Lavigne?
If you do then you might want to swing by Frankfurt on the 11th of July, 7pm. She will have a concert at the Opernplatz. One (standing, of course) ticket will set you back 85Euros.
I know, expensive, right?
Well, if you just like her songs and are not really that gaga to see her in person, you could still listen (as opposed to watch) to her concert for FREE. Yup, it’s an open air concert. All you have to do is sit anywhere around the Opernplatz. There’s actually a …read more

Sure, it’s nice to explore all of the must-sees where all the other tourists probably are but there are times when I would like to discover a city the way locals see it. I would like to experience more than what a normal tourist does.
If you feel the same way, you may want to go look for friends of your friends who may be able to help you see your next destination the way locals do.
Or, you can go and register over at Like-a-local.

Many people dream about traveling around the world. Many have done it (I am actually one continent shy away from achieving that) but a lot more just have to settle with putting up a couple of flags on their “been there” world map.
Budget travelers probably just have to settle with touring around the country.
Now, if you want bragging rights to having extensively toured around a European country, where do you think you can do it without breaking the bank?
Where else but in… Vatican City! After all it’s the smallest country in the world with only 0.2 square miles. …read more

I am not talking about partying or living in a mansion ala Paris Hilton. Nor am I talking about getting that Simple Life experience. Instead, the suggestion here at Europestring is for you, dear Budget travelers, to try how it is to live life in prison.
Yup, you can be a jailbait (just like Paris Hilton some days ago before she got that special VIP treatment to serve her sentence at home) at the Karosta Prison in Latvia.
This suggestion, of course, only applies to thrill seekers/budget travelers who do not mind getting shoved around and yelled at by “fake” …read more

MySpace is one of the most popular social networking website. I am not really into websites like MySpace, Facebook or Friendster, thinking that they only have profiles of people who want to, well, network. But, I was surprised to find a couple of MySpace sites which could actually be of use to travelers.
For today, I suggest for you to check out…
The Budget Travel and Networking Meetup Group. Not only does it promise to get you budget travel deals but the group can also share with you how to earn money as you travel.
