Europe’s Cheapest Cities for the Summer of 2018
Need some help figuring out where to go this summer? This new ranking of cities shows the wide divide between the most expensive and cheapest travel destinations in Europe! While some cities are very pricey, others can be very affordable, and you might be surprised at some of the results. The ranking shows that many cities in Western and Northern Europe are predictably more expensive, while other cities in Eastern Europe are much lower in cost and can be quite affordable and accessible for many travellers. Even though Western Europe is generally more expensive, smaller and medium-sized cities can still be very affordable, and arguably provide the same level of entertainment, history, and culture of larger European cities. Check out the full list to see where your favorite city stands in the rankings!

Thorang-La Pass, Nepal
Packing List for Trekking in Nepal
Despite the sense of wonder and adventure associated with a trek through the Himalayas, the journey does not have to be as rough as you would think. Surprisingly, trekking in Nepal does not have to involve any camping. Due to the frequency of small villages and "tea houses" along many popular hiking paths, most visitors and trekkers stay the night in small hotels or guest houses which provide a comfortable stay, meals, and even toilets. So, if we're not camping, then what do we need? Some basic outdoor equipment is necessary, as are good shoes and clothing for multiple climates. We're talking about the Himalayas, where high altitudes can mean cold weather and rain (but not always). Food and water are also readily available, but a reusable water bottle and water purifiers can save you some cash along the way, too.

The Towers in Torres del Paine, Patagonia
Hiking Torres del Paine in Patagonia, Chile
Torres del Paine is a national park in Patagonia, Chile. It is known for some of the most spectacular hiking in the world. I met many people as I hiked the park - people doing it on many different budgets. There was Joe from Chicago who camped and lived on porridge for nine days - surely that’s the cheapest it can be done. There were others who stayed at the Refugios with breakfast, dinner and a box lunch included for the trail. In between there was me: I camped, ate one meal at a Refugio, had drinks at the bar during happy hour (when they were half price) and ate a lot of nuts, dried fruit and other easily portable food.
The entrance to the ruins is through a long and narrow canyon.
Photo Friday: Petra, Jordan
