GIRLTalkers Europe

[JINJIN:*]

hi! i will be in Europe Tour on October... suggest naman kayo mga sis ng itinerary chaka kung paano makakatipid. 100k pesos lang ang budget ko for this.  Im planning mga 3 weeks. Tapos 3 countries ang pupuntahan ko sana.

Point of entry is Germany (so one week na ko dun)
then Italy..and last will be Greece.

Backpacker lang ako with 3 other girlfriends so apat kami. Help naman kung saan ako makakatipid at ano ang pupuntahan ko dun. Dorm or Hostels ok na. Kahit mag cup noodles lang kami. We are eyeing on eating streetfoods too or those authentic local resto that is not expensive.

Also, about trasnportation, alam ko mahal. Advice naman kunsan ako makakamura.

Thanks a bunch!!!

Hi JINJIN, para makatipid sa hotel, my friends go to a site called couchsurfing.com where u can sleep sa mga couch ng mga locals for free. Best way is to check testimonials ng mga nag hohost or nagpapatira sa house nila. trusted naman cia according to my pinoy and dutch friends.

since germany ang entry nio, its best to go to groceries for food. may sardinas, cooked meals din. cup noodles. i like ALDI, grocery cia. sobrang mura may drinks na  27 cents to 50cents lang.. sa greece ala me masyadong alam.
what i know is mahal ang plane ticket mura ang food at hotels.

for hotels: try booking.com or hostelbooking.com
flight: ryanair.com  (madaming cheap tickets sometimes even 1 euro lang, pero u need to carry 10k baggage lang)

if nasa germany na kau, visit narin kau sa holland malapit lang naman by bus
check eurolines.com   tickets range from 15euro- 50€

Anybody from Poland? My future husband was born and raised in Poland till he was 16. We are planning on going this winter, which he thinks is crazy cause of all the snow but that's the only reason i'm going lol! He is from Czestochowa. His mom taught me how to cook Polish food, and their culture too. Except for the language, which is impossible to learn! And I speak Spanish and French fluently so it's frustrating for me to not understand them whever they discuss things in Polish.

hello sisters.

I am so excited with my Europe trip nextmonth. Hut instead of going to Germany we decided to go to Italy and Spain.

Best thing para makamura sa hotel is to try airbnb

Accomodation yan ng mga locals, parang transient ka. Hindi siya ganun kamura pero mas cheaper parin compared sa hotel and you will have your own private room. So bahay talaga siya and complete siya sa gamit so hindi ka talaga mahirapan kung gusto mo man magluto.

Yun nga lang shared bathroom. So if you are particular sa bathroom then this might be difficult for you kase talagang bahay siya ng family and you will see mga clutter and stuff. Dito kami ng friend ko nag decide mag stay. And of course ang mga cheap hotels..just keep on looking and you will find something within your budget.

For those going to Milan Italy and sa Linate airport ang bagsak, I can help you find a cheap accommodation.

[JINJIN:*]

^^ sis taga Milan ka ba?

suggest ka naman ng good itinerary...chaka best Duomo na hindi ko dapat ma miss puntahan. One day lang ako sa Milan. I will be staying in the city center.

TIA!

[juana_antonia]

one day only? Depende kasi kung ano gusto mo gawin at puntahan.The best duomo ay yung sa Duomo mismo, akyat ka sa taas sa rooftop. Next punta ka sa Galleria Vittorio Emmanuele, pwede ka din mag shop dun.  Don't miss out Montenapoleone Street, nandyan lahat mga boutique ng mga premium designer brands.  Kahit hindi ka bibili, it's nice to check out their boutiques.  I suggest you ride a bus number 73 from San Babila, street next to Duomo, para makapag sight seeing ka, papunta yan ng airport and from airport balik ka na lang ulit papunta San Babila. 2 hours yun balikan na.

Hi mga sis!  Ano maganda pasalubong from France aside from designer bags?  Hubby will be on business trip there.

Mga sis question: they say walang taxes and duties if you shop within the eu, anyone experienced online shopping from uk to italy?

Romina, I have been to Czestochowa! It seems like a very quiet place unlike the major cities of Poland. goodluck on your trip and i hope you enjoy it there is a pilgrim site there, the black madonna and there is a polish priest who can speak tagalog and english. he is very nice!

my fiance is british and we're planning to get a visiting family visa for me so I can go in and out of the UK as we're not settling there. anybody did this? Also, anyone from Cornwall, UK (or even Plymouth). Will be spending 3 months out of the year in the UK and would love to meet people around that area

Hi! Anyone here from Madrid?  Just got here last week, and want to meet people from here! I'm excited to start my working life here but it would be good to find new friends too!

I need help. What medical insurance companies are accepted in Europe for student visa purposes? Because the consulate is requiring me to have medical insurance for 12 months and I've already asked Blue Cross. Anybody here who can help me?
