Right, where were we. Set off for Transylvania after Budapest. We got as far as the other side of the Romanian border and we all immediately decided that this is where the hard work begins.

Roughed it in some farmers field, what with the word ‘campsite’ being still very much foreign for at least another few hundred miles. Makeshift BBQs off a grill and beer cans are fantastic, waking up early to the now infamous call of ‘There’s the farmer!’- we successfully evaded him, his stick and his army (not herd) of goats, which had a taste for English meat. read more

Adventure Travel Destinations on a Budget

Diving and skiing aren’t exactly the cheapest of outdoor sports. However, if you look in the right places, there are more than enough full-on, high-adrenaline outdoor pursuits around the world – and ones even the budget traveller can afford.

Here, you can find a number of destinations you might not have associated with surfing, skiing or diving before. Also, South America has some of the most under-rated ski slopes. These are found across its Andean peaks, which reach for more than 6,400km. And there’s  fantastic skiing in central and eastern Europe to be had too; With hire costs and day passes coming in at about half the regular price, your average budget traveller should still have money to spare.

But if skiing isn’t your thing and you are on a budget, there are always more adventure sports to do.
