Hi everyone! This is your sign to revive that dream Europe trip since most countries now in Europe already lifted their travel restrictions. 😉 I know it's been a while but I hope this video addresses your questions about planning your first Europe trip on a budget. Here's a link to my first Europe trip if you need inspiration -> tinyurl.com/5emewrzn (my 2022 Europe trip to follow 😉)
Hi! Your channel is one of the best and most helpful I've ever visited. Thank you for this. Would you please advise the countries or cities you visited in order? I would really appreciate your reply. 👋💫
Thank you Armie! Glad this video helps. 😊 If you’ll look at my Europe trip series (summer of 2019) playlist, the cities I visited are there arranged per episode.
Listen!!. Exploring new countries is such a rewarding experience! For first-time travelers, I'd recommend considering destinations that offer a mix of cultural richness and natural beauty. Personally, I've been fortunate to travel to over 10 countries thanks to careful budgeting and smart investments.I wasnt financial free until my 30’s and I’m still in my 30’s, bought my second house already, earn on a monthly through passive income and got 2 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless your age INVEST and change your future.
I invest across the top markets but not by myself though. i follow the guidelines of Regina Louise Collaro . you might have heard of her.. I can correctly say she's worth her salt as an investment adviser as her diversification skills are top notch, I say this because i see that in her results as my portfolio grows by averages of 5 to 1O% on a monthly basis, unlike i can say for my other inve stm ents which has just been trudging along. my portfolio just mirrors what she place and not just on some particular industries of my choosing. My Dad was able to retire early and gain financial freedom through her help
Regina Louise Collaro is based in the United States and can work with anybody wherever they stay.. If you would like more information on reaching her, you can conduct a search online.
Awesome planning. I normally set a budget of €35/ day. That includes food, transpo and perhaps 1-2 museums/sites entry fee. I always carry a water bottle with me as well. Most European cities are compact and easy to navigate by just walking. When traveling in between 2 cities by train, do not take the direct train as it is more expensive (e.g Milan-Rome on direct train is around €39-45. While the Milan-Bologna-Rome costed me only €28 on a 35 mins more journey 😀. Also the bus network in the EU is fantastic especially the overnight ones. Student Agency, Eurolines, Flix and LuxBus are just among them.
@@SaharAgha hello 👋. You would see a lot in 10 days. I highly recommend this route: Rome-Florence-Venice then you may take the night train from Venice to Munich in Germany. This route is scenic that crosses Austria before heading to Bavaria. Ensure to wake up around 5am during the summers and spring to enjoy the landscape. Munich is wonderful city. Surrounded by mountains and outdoor activities. From here you could hop on a train for day trip to beautiful Salzburg.
@@YogaPinay yes ofcourse. I suggest you end the Italy trip in Milan. Milan is very well connected by train to get to France, Switzerland and Germany. You can try the nighliner trains to get to France or Germany. If you only want to go to Paris then are multiple trains daily from Milano Centrale or Garibaldi station. Enjoy your trip! 😉 you can book train tickets at Omio or Trainlines. Both have a very easy to use app.
great write up and really helpful. i spent a total of 10 months in 4 years traveling in Europe riding my own motorcycle. i agree with you, eastern Europe is less expensive than the Schengen countries. keep on traveling and wish you the best.
Hey there! Luckily, I didn't encounter any pickpockets during my time in Europe. But losing a few things happened, you know how it is! One way to avoid pickpockets is to blend in and not stand out as a tourist. Also, steer clear of busy areas, especially in places like Rome and Paris, where pickpocketing is common. Oh, and if someone approaches you trying to sell something, it’s best to ignore them. That’s often part of a larger scheme.
@@chichiesdiary Yes. In Rome, they tried to touch my companion but I immediately pulled him away. In Milan, almost got harassed. Good thing my relatives were with me. They speak Italian so they were able to de-escalate the situation. The more popular the place, the more touts you can expect. In lesser known European cities, I didn’t experience anything like that even if I travel alone. But don’t let this prevent you from visiting the popular cities. They are amazing - you just have to be vigilant wherever you go.
@ViajeniBree even when I join the tour group, all of these will happen? I'm thinking of having a DIY tour, but my hubby wants to join a group tour because of these situations.. but joining a group tour has limited countries to go...
If you travel on a train or bus between countries, how would they be able to track how many days you've stayed in the Schengen territory? For example, if I take a flight to Portugal for 30 days, after I take a train to Spain. If there is no passport control at the train station, how would immigration know how long I will be in Spain.
Hi there! The authorities often rely on your initial entry stamp into the Schengen zone to calculate the total duration of your stay across all member countries. It's crucial to keep track of your entry date, as the responsibility falls on you to adhere to the overall permitted stay of duration.
hello po. thanks for sharing your video. Ask ko lng po if need po ba ng onward/return ticket kapag pumasok ka as tourist sa isang eu country from another eu country? example from switzerland to finland, dapat po ba rountrip ticket yong kunin mo para mkapasok ka ng finland? Thanks po sa sagot.
Hello. Hindi naman. If Switzerland and Finland lang ang pupuntahan mo, pwedeng onward ticket mo to Switzerland then outward sa Finland. But you can also book roundtrip sa isang country lang but that means kailangan mong bumalik dun sa country na yun
@@ViajeniBree ibig sabihin po ma'am yong ticket lng po papasok at palabas ng schengen area ang hahanapin ng mga immigration officers ng bansa na papasokan mo, pero yong mga byahe mo within the schengen area ay ok lng kahit walang advance booking? Thanks po.
Hi! Whats your best suggestion in booking airline tix? What ticket should i include in my visa requirements if i wont purchase yet? I worry that if i buy closer to my planned dates, the price will go up. Appreciate all your suggestions. Thank you.
Hello, sorry for the late response. 🙏 In this case, you could either buy a flight reservation from a travel agency or reserve directly from airlines e.g. hold the price option in Turkish airlines for 15 days max. So far, I’ve only done the first option.
Hello there :) If you’re going to visit multiple countries in Europe, need to have on hand all the currencies of the countries that you’re going to visit? Because, I am not quite sure if they accept credit cards as mode of payment.
It’s possible to get by using a card. In my case, I used a debit card to all the European countries I visited. But take note that there will be times when you’ll need cash. I just withdraw money from ATMs.
@@mirus2289 Hi! It depends on the card you use. In my case, I use 2 of my local cards. One has a minimal fee. The other one doesn’t. But both have currency translation involved e.g EUR to PHP for the actual transaction.

I am curious, how do you fund your travel :)
Purely my own savings! 😉 You don’t have to spend a lot when you travel. That’s why I’m always on a budget.

Ang galing po. Paano po makapag-work sa Switzerland?? Huhuhuhu
hello, is it easy to buy a data sim card (data only) in EU for the internet and google maps? ty
There are sim cards specifically for tourists/travelers. I’ve tried a local sim card (Swiss) and e-sim (Airalo)
I love this video. I also travel mostly by bus whenever I’m in Europe. I also stay in Hostel to save a lot of money. 😅
Hi! Where did you exchange money? :)
As mentioned in the video, I use my card to pay and if I need cash, I withdraw money from the local bank’s ATM or bankomat.

Pwede po bang bumisita sa shengen area na hindi mag apply ng visa kasi two weeks lng namn plan mag visit?
Hello, na-explain ko po yan sa video 😊
I cant find a 30k peso of round trip. It is usually around 50-60k
There is. If you follow the instruction how to search for a cheap flight on Skyscanner, you’ll see. 🙂
public transpo in other countries is really top notch. clean and safe. I wish PH will become like this someday.
Thank you for the detailed tips.
May I know if we can just book flight like this?
Depart: Origin country-Switzerland
Return: France-origin country
Yes that’s possible. 😊

Hi ate! I've been searching so long for fellow filipino travellers. I live in Canada and would love to collaborate in the near future te 😁
Do you think ₱100k-₱150k is enough for a 2wk trip just in Spain?
Yes, I believe so! But you really need to plan accordingly to make that budget work for your trip.
@@ViajeniBree Thank you for responding! 🫶🏻
I am planning to visit Europe in 2025.
Sama 😅
Ateeeee i got 2k views 😀
It took you more than a year for a follow up vlog on your Europe trip!
I know huhu 😭 but I returned to Europe this year so I was motivated to vlog/post again 😍 new vlogs coming!!
The Islamic Republic of Europe looks amazing hoping to visit mosques and eat Halal food and talk and interact with the local indigenous white tribes
What country you suggest? 😊
