Nickerbocker,

I spent a week in Paris with some friends, here was my barebones budget (we did go out to a few good dinners, but heres what we did) Prices in american dollars

Breakfast- One baguette and a small container of cheese split three ways and coffee ($3 each)

Lunch- Skipped it or shared some pizza ($6 each)

Dinner- Sandwich and water ($7 each)

Tons of wine drank in the hotel ($5/day)


Add in $25 for a hostel bed and all other than that, all expenses are optional.

You definitely could just bum it and buy a couple loafs of bread and some meat if you got a fridge to stick it in.


When I graduate school, in the time before I start work I plan on going to Eurpoe for a month by myself on barebones budget and then have my gf join up with me for a proper nice hotel/museum/spa vacation.

Sounds like hell being malnourished and drunk on cheap wine, living in what feel like halfway houses. Those figures are completely unrealistic unless you wanna do nothing more than stare at monuments and swap boring travel stories with backpackers.
