You live in Germany but it’s too expensive to travel?
I can’t accept that 🤦🏽♂️
Here are my Top 3 ways to budget travel around Europe this summer:
1️⃣ FlixBusProbably the cheapest way to travel across Europe by land.
Download the FlixBus app - go to “more” in the bottom right corner - “station locations” - type in your closest city in the “from” field - then in the “To” section scroll all the way down and click: “Not sure where to go? Explore the map”
This lets you see destinations by city AND price directly on the map. You’ll quickly realize how cheap Europe travel can actually be.
Pro Tip: Bus travel in Europe is NOTHING like bus travel in the States. Think less chaos, more organization, free WiFi, and less people to be fearful of.
Also… booking two seats for yourself on long rides? Smart travel move or financially irresponsible? Asking for a friend.
2️⃣ EuroTrip AdventuresOne of the easiest ways for military families to travel Europe without planning everything yourself.
They offer budget friendly bus trips and airfare packages to specific destinations on set dates, with many pickup/departure locations located right outside U.S. military bases in Germany.
Perfect if you want the convenience of group travel without figuring out all the logistics yourself.
3️⃣ RyanairStill one of the cheapest airlines in Europe.
The key is:- Pack light- Be flexible- Search nearby airports
Download the Ryanair app and check flights from the closest Ryanair airport near you. Sometimes flights are literally cheaper than a family dinner in the city.
ℹ️ BONUS! Need more airfare options?
Use ABC Travel Service (abctravel.de) and my discount code: “DTVFlight”
You can save up to 25% off flights around the world.
Don’t kick yourself in the butt for NOT taking advantage of one of these travel options this summer, especially if Germany is a temporary home away from home!
