The Savvy Backpacker

Looking to explore and enjoy Europe on a budget? This resource is the ultimate guide in traveling around the EU without breaking the bank. Started by James in 2010, a Missouri native, this savvy backpacker noticed that most backpacking sites offered very little well-researched content and even less on how to embark on a journey like this without spending a fortune. If you’re looking for adventure, backpacking, and beautiful European getaways, this is the site for you. 🛩
