RUSTIC VENETIAN CHARM AT GENERATOR HOSTEL, VENICE

RUSTIC VENETIAN CHARM AT GENERATOR HOSTEL

Next to London, Venice was another city that we felt money constantly draining from our wallets. With no convenient city passes or hop-on hop-off buses to help save us some cash, it came down to good ole’ fashioned budgeting.

Let’s face it. London is one of the world’s leading cities, and it’s also one of the most expensive. Actually, I always thought Hong Kong was the most expensive city (and it is based on real estate), but recently The Telegraph declared London as the most expensive city to actually live in.
