Just as a bit of an 'FYI' for readers...., MOST museums in the UK, are free to enter everyday. So there isn't a 'free day' option. You can leave an optional donation if you so desire upon exiting the museum. It makes it an easier choice to visit, for a traveller on a budget. Great video once again Christina. Always with the consistently great content.

One thing to note about budget airlines, these are the best when you have timing flexibility - I've had some nightmare delays and cancellations, but the worst part was there was no customer service as no one is actually affiliated with them at the physical airport compared to major airlines where they have staff you can speak to. You could be on the phone with them for 4-8 hours to get you on a new flight and typically you'll be paying out of pocket and getting a refund months later. Sundays they aren't even open over the phone! Aha

Hi Christina, can you do a how-to video with Wise or the other card you mentioned? Your video with the esim was very helpful.

I'm all about being on a budget. I will totally splurge on a few "cheesy tourist" things but I choose those carefully and plan ahead, and then everything else has to be free or close to it. I say that now and then I will end up spending $1000 more than I should have. Ah well...

Hey there! Have you ever had to deal with Accommodations not honoring a 3rd Party booking? Esp in Europe? I've mainly stayed away from 3 party sites bc you hear such stories of hotels not honoring bookings bc they were thru such sites, or (and this 1 happened to my SO) saying they did not receive the booking and charging more for your stay? Looking at hotels for an extended European stay and wondering if it's worth it to try 3rd party site.
