Traveler's Notes : Important Websites!

Go Online -  is the best way (for me) to gather information about travel destination, transportation system, train schedule, and many - many - many more! There are many useful websites, blogs and forum that provide various information about travelling and the most important, their own travelling experiences. I always find it interesting to read others travelling stories and wonder what my story will be if I travel to that place.


Among millions travelling websites, blogs and forums, here is my - must-visit - websites whenever I am looking for some inspirations to decide my next travel destination in Europe. Hope it is useful! :)

Search Engine
  • Google! - it answers EVERYTHING! 
  • Budget Places - for cheap hotels, hostels, apartment, bed and breakfast 
  • Hostel World - another place to visit to look for cheap hotels, hostels, apartments, B&B
  • Airbnb - if you want to meedle with locals or want to rent your room, apartment, etc
Travel Guides
Others

Guess that's all - for now. More will be added in the future! :)

All Around Europe : Trains in Germany

Back to All Around Europe series! For today's post, I would like to share the information about the train in Germany as train is one of the main public transportation in Germany and it is always essential for us, travelers to know the transportation systems in our destination country. Driven from my experiences, I got confused about the types of trains in Germany because there are many types of train in Germany and I did not know what are the differences between each of them. Therefore, I hope this post could help you to get to know the types of trains in Germany! The Hohenzollen bridge, Cologne, Germany. ICE (Inter-City Express) The fastest train in town - with top speed up to 300 km/h!  You could choose this train for a long journey travelling because it is very comfortable (especially 1. class) and the train only stops in the main train station. With a great service, no wonder if you have to pay more for ICE tickets compared with other train types. Howev...

All Around Europe : Local Airports Part I

This post is dedicated to all European budget airlines lovers! Airport - is the important place. This is where our travelling starts and ended. If we could not know where is the airport and how to get to the airport, than our travelling will be a mess. Since I travel a lot with European budget airline,  I have to invest more time to look for the information regarding the airports used in budget airports, especially the location and how to get there (most important!).  Most of the budget airline (esp. Ryan Air) are using local airports which is located far (away) from the city. Beside the location, these local airports also do not have varieties of public transportation access. Therefore, I decided to compile the information regarding these-out-of-nowhere local airports in Europe. I hope it could help all European budget airlines lovers! :) After did some listing, I realised there will be too much information here - that might make you explode. Therefore, I decided to d...

Traveler's Notes : 7 Ways to Minimize Your Travel Budget

As a backpacker, it is always important to minimize my travel budget - as lowwww as possible. I learned a lot of tricks to minimize my travel budget during my 7 months-long travel in Europe until at one point, I could say that even though everything is expensive in Europe, BUT if you know the trick, your wallet will not suffer. So, here are 7 ways to minimize your travel budget ala Traveler's Passport :)  1. Plan your travel at the latest 2 months before your journey.  The longer your plan, the better. But 2 months is the minimum - to get a cheap ticket for your Ryan Air's flight, or a promo ticket for your over night Eurolines' bus. But, do not back up right away, you could take car pooling (in German: mitfahr) for an alternative transportation, especially in a sudden journey. The fare for car pooling might differ, according to the car driver, but it is often wayyyy cheaper than the train ticket. More information about budget transportation in land and  a...
