The idea that you need a travel agent to plan and book your trip belongs in the last century. I've travelled across Europe, solo and on a budget since 2013 and have been living in Germany for close to three years. Somehow, planning for a trip especially the first few has always been a big pain in the a**. Add to that limited budget and time to plan, and you have a big headache. The truth is, that not all of us can afford to spend hundreds of dollars on a custom itinerary from a travel agent nor do we have hundreds of hours to spend on researching across thousands of blogs, booking platforms and travel magazines. I've compiled everything I know about planning, preparing and booking a Europe trip in a practical, precise manner in this book, to help you save a shit ton of time and money when doing the same. To avoid the mistakes I did on my first couple of trips. Planning your dream trip doesn't need to be expensive or time-consuming. With this handbook, you'll find out exactly how.
