Traveling can be so expensive, but nor for me. My college friend always talked to me about Europe, and how precious it was, I did not believe him until I got there, Paris. There I was, at the aiport, knowing nothing about French but at least, I was in Paris, the city of love. The funny thing is that I finnalIy got to Paris after two days of trying to find a seat left in the flight since I had one of those really cheap tickets where you can only fly if there is a seat left. I was all ready for my new adventure, I even met a handsome guy who helped me carry my luggage all the way to the metro so I could finally be with two of my best friends since high school who were waiting for me at Versailles, such a cute little city close to the big and famous Paris. One of those two friends, Renata, travelled with me around Europe, we made a little trip of two weeks; I only had 40 euros for each day, had to make the most of it with 40 euros; museums, metro pass, food, drinks, souvenirs. Some days were harder than others, but at least I got to save enough money to buy the purse of my dreams in Madrid; we went to the perfect outlet and I bought a purse I will probably have for the rest of my life. Red, simple but elegant, medium size, classic, it was perfect, I knew I had to buy it. After spending all of my savings of the trip, we went to 100 montaditos since I could not afford any other meal, 1 euro for a montadito, how great; I got lucky to find such a perfect place to eat that day. After Madrid, went to Barcelona, probably my favorite city, the perfect city for everything; party, eat, shop, walk, beach, everything. Then, went to the most famous city of Italy, Venice, the city of water, could not went to Italy without visiting Venice. Visited Rome as well, but nothing like Paris, good thing we had to go back to Paris to fly from there back home, Mexico. I can totally say that my first trip to Europa was, pretty great, pretty cheap. Getting to Paris was kind of easy, the stress started when I knew I had to go back. The thing was, since I had one of those cheap plane tickets, it was not easy to go back home. The first day, nothing, the next day, nothing again; I started to get so stressed out since I did not have any money left and I knew I had to get back the sooner, the better. The only good thing was that I had someone to go back to close to Paris, my other friend Ana, who was living in Versailles, one of the reasons I went to Europe, since I had someone to stay with for as long as I wanted to; the cheaper, the better. The third day was my lucky day, I finally got a seat assigned for me, could not be any happier, but not as happy as when I got there, Paris, my lovely Paris. Yup, traveling can be cheap.
