Eve Packet Hostel vs Couchsurfing Jul 15, 2025 6:23 pm

Hostels for reliability and social atmosphere. Couchsurfing for authentic local experience and zero cost. Both have their place.

Can you explain more about this? I am a newbie and want to understand better.

This is the kind of content that makes online communities worthwhile.

Eve Packet Europe on $30 a day Apr 18, 2025 2:23 am

Hostels ($10-15), street food ($5-10), free walking tours, and student discounts. It is very possible. Country by country breakdown.

Thanks for sharing! This is exactly what I was looking for.

Quick question: does this apply to the newer version too or just the old one?

Avtoservis_gmei Travel packing minimalist style Feb 27, 2025 12:23 am

One carry-on backpack for a 2-week trip. Merino wool clothes, quick-dry everything, and a packable rain jacket. No checked bags ever.

I wish I had known this sooner. Would have saved me a lot of trouble.

I made every mistake in this thread before finding it. Wish I had read it sooner.

Does this work for everyone or just certain setups? Asking because my situation is a bit different.

New member here. Already learning so much from this thread!

Eve Packet Working holiday visas Feb 18, 2025 10:23 pm

Australia and New Zealand offer working holiday visas for 18-30 year olds. Work part-time, travel the rest. Best year of my life.

Just shared this thread with my friend who has the same question. Great resource!

Alice Hartwell Feb 19, 2025 11:23 pm

My results were slightly different but in the same ballpark. Good advice overall.

admin Feb 20, 2025 7:23 pm

LOL this is so true. Been there, done that.

Alice Hartwell Feb 25, 2025 9:23 pm

This reminds me of a similar situation I had. The solution was patience.
