Living in or travel round the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland Is not easy to do inexpensively, as backpackers who’ve been at that place will know. Only, at that place is quite a few ways a budget traveler can keep the expending down to a minimal.

Eva The Netherlands, visiting author for Brave New Traveler, among my favorite traveling blogs, has a few great ‘pence-pinching tips‘ she picked up during a year-long visit there, on a student’s budget.

Her advice includes transport choices (individual tickets vs expensive railpasses), budget accommodation types (fantabulous hostel network), the cheapest ways to eat (supermarkets and lunch specials) and what sights you will be able to see at least cost.

Well worth a looksee if you are thinking about spending any time in the area.
