jeff,
my friends and I are planning on taking a summer trip to europe, seems like a similar plan. Do you mind posting your budget right now? (or PM me if your uncomfortable w. this).

No prob, here's what we have so far.


Airplane tickets from JFK to Paris and Rome to JFK

$683...... with tax and everything. Nonstop flights. We could've gotten it at $560 but we waited too long to book. You gotta book this fast though, because it's going up fast. We originally thought it would be much higher as Metetron said, but it wasn't.

15 day student Europass:

$300........ This gives us unlimited rides which we'll use to get to all cities. Prague might not be included, but it's a great deal regardless. If we buy it on our last day in Paris, we can save by not needing the 21 day pass.

Hostel/Hotel Rooms:

Some can be had for literally lower than $10 a night. However, we're probably going to end up staying in decent hotels along the way. With 3 of us, if we spend $50 a night on hotels, we can get decent rooms, so give anywhere from $300 on the low side, to $1000 on the high side for housing.

Food/Alcohol/Sites/Pot/Other Fun Stuff

This largely depends on how much you want to spend on the trip. People in Europe can probably help better with the cost of food and drinks in Europe, although I'm assuming it's a little bit more expensive that in America.

I was figuring $50-$75 a day for $1000 or $1500


We originally were figuring around $3k for the trip, but I think I'll probably go a little bit over.


I think it can be done on like a $2000-$2200 budget if you're frugal
