HI NYC Hostel Review: One of the Cheapest Places to Stay in New York
Looking for somewhere affordable to stay in Manhattan? Keep reading for my HI NYC hostel Review! I came across the HI New York City when I was searching on Booking.com for accommodation for a weekend away in NYC. The only other time I’d been to NYC was on a school trip and I remember our hotel being hundreds of dollars a night so you can imagine my surprise when this came in at under $50 per night! I immediately imagined the worse hostel but the photos didn’t look too bad and the location was fab so I booked it. And spoiler alert – it was actually a really nice hostel!…

48 Hours On A Train: Full Amtrak Empire Builder Review
No that title is not clickbait. I did once spend 48 hours on a train travelling from Chicago to Portland non-stop. This was during my gap year, where I spent three months following housesits around the USA. And you might be surprised but it actually ended up costing me more than it would have cost to fly! I couldn’t find a direct flight from Chicago to Portland so I started looking at other options. I was open to adding on a 1-night layover to see another city. Then I stumbled upon Amtrak’s long-distance train routes and committed to long journey. However, I only committed mentally and put off actually booking my ticket…

This comes at no extra cost to you.} Overnight buses are the ultimate budget travel hack and this is the hill I will die on. Not only do you get to a new place in a really cost effective (and better for the environment) way but you also save money on a night of accommodation.
