{"product_id":"2940013996830","title":"Europe on a Dime: Five-Star Travel on a One-Star Budget","description":"UPDATED in 2017! Fly for free and sleep for cheap. Spend less than you thought possible for five-star travel on a one-star budget. Pearson shows you how.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTravel guru Arthur Frommer calls Dru Pearson's writing \"delightful,\" and he believes her blog essays,\"...provide a strong confirmation of the advice I offered in a recent post....\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArthur Frommer and Dru Pearson seem to think alike.  Both know that apartment rentals are vacation money-savers for everyone.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDru also thinks that Baby Boomers, especially, crave five-star luxury on a one-star budget.  The hostels they frequented in their 20s won't do any more. They want en suite bathrooms, not a shower room down the hall, and a suitcase on wheels, not a pack on their backs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYet, in these difficult economic times, there is not a single book that tells this largest demographic in American history exactly how to travel Europe in a systematic way designed to maximize enjoyment while minimizing cost.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUntil now.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDru Pearson's book for the over-45 crowd--although travelers of any age can save money using her advice--teaches a step-by-step approach to comfortable, independent travel for under $98 a day.  Unlike other guidebooks about Europe, there are no itinerary, accommodation, or restaurant suggestions.  What Dru supplies, instead, is far more valuable.  She shows you exactly how to plan a trip using public transportation, rental apartments, and food markets.  Using her  approach, a couple can travel independently in any country for under, and sometimes well under depending on the country, $98 a day per person.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you thought the only alternative to backpacking Europe was an expensive organized tour, think again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Europe on a Dime you will find out how to  how to fly to Europe for free, rent your own spacious apartment for less than the price of a private hostel room, pay half-price for train tickets, and buy the most delectable meals for a fraction of a restaurant's price.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo, don't worry if your backpack is getting moldy in the attic.  You won't need it any more.  You won't have to settle for an expensive organized tour that charges $200-800 a day either.  All you will need is this book which will teach you everything you need to know so you can travel frugally and comfortably anywhere in Europe.","brand":"Dru Pearson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47083335319792,"sku":"2940013996830","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013996830_p0.jpg?v=1763598691","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013996830","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
