Let's talk about travelling around Europe without spending too much. I'd love to hear your ideas!

“Have you ever travelled somewhere with only a little money? How did it go?”
“Would you rather stay in a cheap hostel with new people or a quiet hotel alone?”
“If a friend invited you on a spontaneous backpacking trip tomorrow, would you say yes?”
“What do you think is the best way to save money while travelling?”
“Which European city is your dream destination, and why does it attract you?”
