Thread 2834332

Any trips to travel on a budget? Do you work out your budget in advance? How much do you expect to spend in a one week visit to a foreign country?

i make about 8€/hour in europe and looked up affordable flights online, prefferably to cheap countries so i was looking towards eastern europe or asia, also because im interested in their food and culture.


Looked up a roundtrip flight to poland for about 120€ and found accomodation for the given week for about the same price too for example, and i have a polish online friend that can advise me and tell me the local prices and who i could meet up there for some fun times

Another dream of mine would be to go to a poor place in southern asia and rent a motorbike for like 20€/day so i could explore the country on my own without depending on public transport

You're in europe so pretty much anywhere, there are so many party hostels that offer stays for 7 a night with a free breakfast in the morning too. I'd probably rock Amsterdam for some cheap weed and whores. Then fly to Poland to get some good white women who aren't westernized to party with. Then maybe go to Germany for some cheap beers and good food. Then fly home on a 20 euro flight.

its a 7 day vacation, i dont plan to hop around so many countries, im also not a huge party guy id preffer walking around and visiting the museums, trying out the food
Also the main reason i dont want to visit western europe is i know their cost of living is as high or higher as what im used to. if i go to eastern europe it will be definatelly lower cost of living for meals, accomodation, etc, plus ive already been to spain ,france, portugal, germany, UK, ireland, etc

i heard that Romania is cheap and great for motoribike adventures, look up: Carpathian mountains. And watch out for bears

please let this horrific meme end

I want to compile a list of all the countries where you can A) rent a motorbike for peanuts and B) don't need a motorcycle endorsement on your licence to do so.
I've personally done this in Vietnam, Bali, Taiwan (some license hassle there) and Nicaragua, and from my research Pakistan is very easy, and even cheaper to rent than the above mentioned.

Let's make a map of all the places this is possible, for it is truly a kingly way to travel.

Are you time traveling from 1995 or something?
>Amsterdam cheap anything
>hostels $7 per night with free breakfast
>Poland not westernized
Not a whit of this is true in 2025. Hostels are $30 per night and don't include breakfast (in Vilnius, Lithuania). Polish party girls are tattooed feminists on birth control. Oktoberfest beer is 15 euros per liter. Kebab trash is the only affordable food on offer. Flights are 80 euros and you get charged a luggage fee for wearing heavy boots.

Talk softly to mama bears, don't try to scare them. Be firm and prepared to fight with aggressive adolescents (who are food thugs). Learn to read bear body language. Hunger in a human presence is always a bad sign.

Picrel I heard her chuffing in frustration at the branches poking her behind and spotted her up in a tree in town. Then she laid down to take a nap as her cub clambered higher in the tree looking for his own nap. We all stayed quiet and didn't disturb her.

Bears are less aggressive than dogs, in my experience. If bears eat people food, they become thugs. Travelers should be more concerned about being attacked by a pack of dogs all with rabies from one dog constantly biting the others.

I've spent 24 of the past 68 months overseas.
How about you?

You ever had to order $5 worth of fried seafood at a restaurant because a vicious rainsquall overtook you as you were walking back to your hotel? I made it last for the entire hour that the rainsquall lasted, then I returned to my stifling room with no A/C.

Travel long
When I made $8 per hour I could save $800 per month, but I was living in an employee dormitory. My last overseas trip (with minimal intoxication & intercourse) averaged $1000 per month including airfare.

The lack of responsibility associated with public transport (apart from the responsibility to board at boarding time and disembark at your destination) is attractive. I don't want to be responsible for a 300 pound machine, I only want to be responsible for myself.

Yes, motorcycle touring in Asian traffic is an adventure, but one second of clueless fucktardation and you're in a hospital with broken bones. There is no such thing as right of way BTW. No stop signs. Everything is about reacting to what's in front of you and making intuitive decisions based on reading the behavior of others.

>wants to double his daily spend to ride a motorbike
Covering 3300 km in Malaysia via their mostly excellent and air-conditioned public transport cost me 361 ringgit. Currently around $85 USD. Compare this to the cost of motorbike rental and fuel.

>>wants to double his daily spend to ride a motorbike
thats teh thing, i wonder how affordable a motorbike can get, i know in south asia the rentals can be dirt cheap but in europe its probalby not worth it

>>2834666
also its not about just the utilitarian way

its about the value i get of being free to ride anywhere while having fun on a motorbike, being able to take a detour whenever, explore whatever i want

vs

public transport on determined routes where i just sit for a while going from point A to point B

it may be more affordable, more relaxing, but not as fun

A lot depends on how far you are willing to walk. There's so many cool things I've found poking around on foot that I'd have never found zooming by on a motorbike. But you do need a lot of patience to endure the hours of tiresome trudging, especially in a hot tropical climate. At least the activity helps with appetite...ride a motorbike and you burn so few calories that you might only be able to digest one proper meal a day (plus sugary drinks and snacks).
