how much will i need to travel for a month? im from england if that helps. i just want enough to eat comfortably, have a roof over my head and be able to get public transport.
If you are sorted with your flight
Rest like living and food can be sorted with CS (www.couchsurfing.org)
Take your tent along also, sometimes a CS host if already hosting someone else, can offer you his/her lawn to pitch the tent.. and normally you are offered whatever is cooked in the house for free
it works out quite cheaper
or else try looking for deals at www.hostelworld.com
Generally speaking, they work and live frugally. At the same time, they save as much, and as quickly, as possible in order to follow their dream........travelling.
They save a lot of money
