Im only gonna have $500 to live in Europe for 3 weeks because

20 euro for a hostel bunk x 21 days = 420 euro
You can easily buy three weeks' worth of food in europe for 80 euro.
That doesn't leave anything for transport or enjoying yourself, however.
-Lots of hostels allow discounted stays for long-term residents in exchange for work.
-Find a wwoof/HelpX/workaway host and spend three weeks on a Greek island castrating lambs
-Hike out into nature and camp.

I heard couch surfing is not easy if youre a guy and dont have good recommendations

Ill be in spain in the month of may for 3 weeks
>>1236153
thanks anon I dont have money to camp because id have to buy gear

how would I set on getting discounted stays?

wtf am I even going to do all day?

>>1236151
I'd definitely recommend doing something like couchsurfing or Workaway if possible. Leaving only $80 for food works out to under $4 per day on all expenses except for lodging, doable, but I don't even think it would be fun to travel if you couldn't move around or eat more than rice and pasta all day. See if you can do a Workaway or something similar for a week or two, it'd cut down on costs a lot for the rest of the trip.

>Workaway
So I just looked them up

thanks so much anon! I could definitely get by with this!

I would have a ton of free time anyway

>wwof, helpx, workaway
Those sites look like a scam at best.
some of those expectations are ridiculous
>if we don't like you (reasonx x,y or z) we'll ask you to leave
Awesome, I have a plane ticket for every day of the week or what?
And some of those 'hosts' are just too stupid for their own good
>we'll be gone from 8 to 6
>you'll have to do your work then
>even though they said you have to work (maximum) 1-5 hours a day before

Just fuck my shit up, I guess.
>faq explicitly states no money involved
>multiple slave owners ask for money or tell you to pay parts of the bills for food

>>1236264
Well it's all about the hosts really. You have to try and get a read on them and email back and forth a little to make sure it's good. The websites just facilitate it, beyond that it's up to you to make sure you don't get fucked.

>>1236151
What country are you staying in for 3 weeks?

>>1236151
Where in Europe? Half the east lives on a wage lower than that.
Though of course they do rent long-term, so that cuts the costs a bit.

Why would someone beat a man before throwing him out of a plane?

Holy fuck, are you me?

I'm backpacking Europe in May from the 10th to June 1st. I'll have around $500 too.

I'll be in the UK Germany Spain & Norway.

>>1236331
Why Norway if you are on a poorfag budget?

>>1236337
Me and a buddy are camping out in flåm for around 10 days.

>>1236151
You could live relatively comfy for that for a month in Ukraine I suppose.

In Warsaw Poland you can get a room with a garden access for like $250 for 3 weeks

https://www.airbnb.co.uk/rooms/9896047?checkin=2017-05-08&checkout=2017-05-28

If you ask the family hosting you, they will probably recommend a place where you can eat lunch for $2 dollars(bar mleczny, pierogarnia(dumplings bar)).
$5 per day for food in Poland is doable.

>>1236151
In the US you can just camp in National Forests for free (sometimes a limit like 7 days at one location, 30 days per Forest, something like that)
If Europe has anything similar then fuck it just buy a tent, use the remaining money on food, and live innawoods

>>1236439
Who are these people that travel, but live like a homeless person and stink everywhere they go.

>>1236439
Varies wildly by country. Some let you camp wherever, some don't but turn a blind eye, some see it as a chance to hand out easy fines.

>>1236264
of fucking course you go worst case scenario, I usually have a couple skype calls with the host to get a general feel for them, and they usually won't kick you out unless you are just retarded and cant work for a couple hours

>>1236151
if a plane trip costs 450$ - you may have to give up alcohol. Otherwise you don't

>>1236151
Not as fucked as I am

>flying united in 9 days
>layover in o'hare
>landing in kauai

Assuming I don't get bumped from my flight and beaten I still risk catching rat lungworm
