The Budget Tourist

The Budget Tourist
Good day, and welcome to the Budget Tourist. My guest today just came back from a three month stay in Europe for under nine hundred dollars. Does that include the ticket? Incredible. How did you do it? Did you book through the Last Minute Club?

No, I went to the Late By Forty-Five Minutes Club.

Oh. I haven't heard of them. Did they book you a cheap hotel room?

Hotel room? I can't afford that. They just gave me a map of the town with X's on all the public parks.

Is that where you stayed?

No, it was too noisy. I took a tram to the outskirts and found an old barn with a damp field in front of it. The barn turned out to be occupied, so I lay down in the damp field.

Did you pitch a tent?

A tent? I can't afford that. I tucked my legs into my waist-length coat and fell asleep in the fetal position.

Wasn't that uncomfortable?

A little bit. But I got used to it. When dawn came I had a nice wholesome breakfast on my camping grill.

Was it one of those neat little portable propane grills?

Propane? I can't afford propane. Even if I could, Europe has their propane tanks on a different setting than ours. I just found some bedrock and I gathered up some dry sticks and used matches to light a fire under it. And I still had some eggs in my pocket that I could use to make scrambled eggs.
