Cheap Travel Advice??

[CMY]

Have any of you traveled through courier services or joined Air Courier Association? I REALLY want to experience europe, but I'm hoping I don't have to blow all my dough on the airfare. Any advice?

here's my advice: Airfare to Europe is airfare to Europe... it's expensive, even at student rates. But the REAL cost of your trip is the trip itself!!! three meals a day, plus hostels, clubs, shopping, say goodbye to your wallet! You can try to do it cheap, but there's no REAL cheap if you're in London or Paris- not unless you have friends there are you can cook in their kitchens. My advice is to GO EAST YOUNG MAN! Eastern Europe is CHEAP- or cheaper at least, and REALLY COOL! Fly into Munich and take trains to Prague, Bratislava Warsaw and Budapest! Voila! Amazing European experience at half the price of Paris and Rome. You can even check out Transylvania and Slovenia and have awesome stories to write home about. Wait till you have cash to do Western Europe, because you're gonna WANT to spend it there. I started in Czech and am doing all my eastern travels while I'm young and poor. One trip to London (on a 200 dollar ticket!) taught me that.
