Euro Got You Down? Don’t Let It Keep You Home–Here’s How

January 28, 2008 | Posted in: Destinations,Europe

I just read 2-great articles with 2-different takes on how international travelers can stretch their dollars this year.

Economizing is travel author Rick Steves’ theme: he suggests staying at B & B’s and hostels; using public transportation instead of rental-cars, and ATM’s instead of travelers’ checks. See more of his ideas here.

Travel + Leisure touts going where the dollar isn’t so weak, including Eastern Europe, the Bahamas, Brazil, Vietnam and New Zealand. More suggestions here.

Planning is key. So is saving on airfare; use our Email Alerts.

    B&B and hostels are great – and I’d add “think local.” Visit local markets and neighborhood cafes for food, check out movie theaters and plays off the main touristy area.

    Prague is a good example. The Old Town is teeming with expensive hotels and hordes of tourists. Across the river, where you find local pubs and bars the prices drastically drop, and you mingle among locals
