I'm so excited to go to Europe for the first time. It has been a dream of mine for as long as I remember.

So here's how I started planning my trip.



1. Book in advance

Even though I'm going to Europe in June 2019, I booked my flight in September 2018. That's almost 9 months early. Also, I only bought a one way flight at the time because I wasn't sure how long I wanted to be there. Because when you book that early plans always change. I purchased my flights through Expedia, Travelocity and Kayak.

2. Accomodation

After booking my one way flight to Paris, France i started looking for a place to stay which was close to metro and easier to get to and from the airport without having to change trains too many time. Also, metro in walking distance from where I'll stay because carrying around luggage after a 8+ hour fight is not fun.

Paris: If you are on a tight budget like me, places like Expedia, Travelocity etc are not always going to be very affordable in the city cent…
