What you’ll do

When people think “travel to Europe”, the next thought that usually accompanies it is how expensive it is to do. For that reason, so many people automatically assume that they will never be able to experience the world because they simply don’t have the funds to do so.

I’m here to tell you – through personal experience – that it doesn’t have to be expensive. There are SO many little tips and tricks to authentically experience a foreign city without breaking the bank. As someone who lived in NYC as well as solo traveled throughout Europe on an extreme budget, there are a bunch of tips and tricks as to how to enjoy a city without promising to hand over first-born child – and Florence is no exception.

As the birthplace of the Renaissance and the center of art and culture in Italy, there’s so much history and beauty to be found in Florence that doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg to experience. So, let’s get right down to it.
