Welcome to Budget Traveler Hell. On this site you will find some useful and some totally useless information on traveling on the cheap along with some amusing stories from my own experiences on the road. Whether you’ve got money to burn or you’re just a Cheap Charlie trying to make that hard earned money you made selling your blood to the hospital over the summer last a bit longer, you’ll get enough tips here to stretch your vacation out and enjoy yourself in the process. Let’s face it. It’s getting harder to save money nowadays. We’re not all rolling in the green stuff. The price of beer and cigarettes has gone up, you’ve probably got a roommate who can’t or doesn’t want to work so you’re paying his or her half of the bills. And no way are you going to part with your beloved cable TV. Hell, that’s what keeps you inside and away from the bars and restaurants. Not to mention the reruns of the Munsters and Sanford and Son that you’ll miss. I’ll also give you ideas on how to make extra cash for your trip with little investment. No, not at the casinos. Something a little more reliable. I’ve seen some crazy things during my travels and have gotten into some pretty fine messes due to naivety, miscommunication and a few too many cocktails. Hopefully you will learn from my own as well as others mistakes as visitors are able to comment and pass along their own advice as well. Upon arrival in a distant country where people won’t understand your Brooklyn or Boston accent or whatever accent you’re afflicted with, you will find a way around the communication gap and will have little trouble finding the right transportation and accommodation. Culture Shock can be a fun thing sometimes. So sit back with a cold beverage and slim Jim (The beef stick that is, not the one you use to open car doors. Unless of course, that’s how you make your living) and peruse my pages. Hopefully you will come away with a few good ideas or at least had a laugh along the way.
