Our B&B in Burgundy, France
We are retired people who love to travel. Our student days when we hitch-hiked through Europe with Frommers "Europe on $5 a Day" have long since gone. But we have discovered that there are other innovative ways of seeing the world on a limited budget which can be as interesting and rewarding. In this blog we want to share our experience and invite others to share their ideas for affordable travel.

B & B's, Another Affordable Way To Go
Besides Home Exchange or the Affordable Travel Club, there is another wonderful way to explore the world the affordable way: The Bed and Breakfast way. Some of our most memorable vacations have been at B&B's in France, Scotland and Australia. But these are not the only possibilities. At this very moment, we are exploring B&B possibilities in India, Cambodia and Viet Nam. Just one word of advice: do your planning and exploring early. Unless you book a B&B at least 9 months to a year in advance, the best locations are gone. But it's worth the effort. The early bird catches the worm and there are some incredible worms worth catching out there! The internet is a wonderful resource and most B&B's have excellent websites, allowing you even to select a particular room with that special view.

Dear Yawngie,
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my page and leaving the birthday greetings.
B+B is an excellent way of meeting local people, wherever you go; much preferable to staying in expensive and impersonal hotels.
I'll be interested to hear if and when you decide to try it in India.
