My friends and I want to go on a trip to Europe, but we need to make more cash! how can we do this?

We are seven people in all, and want to take a trip to Europe over the summer, preferrably in July/August. Please don't reply with online surveys, but actual methods of making money quickly, serious answers please!

My friends and I want to go on a trip to Europe, but we need to make more cash! how can we do this?
Why not consider how to make the trip as cheap as possible or even get it to pay for itself? If you just want to get out and you are really cash strapped, try looking into jobs as seasonal farm hands -- just remember that countries like Greece, Italy, Spain etc. are very hot in the summer. Usually the employers cover room and board (nothing luxurious) and will pay you enough money to cover the flight. If this sounds appealing at all, try looking for a small family grower and get them to arrange work visas (not a problem for seasonal agro workers).


Or you can try contacting private-run hostels in places where you would like to go if you can barter work for accommodations. I live in Prague (Czech Rep) and as there are tons of travelers and tons of hostels, they send some of their own people out to the train stations to recruit backpackers to come stay with them. The plus here is that you wouldn't need a visa for this sort of arrangement, and you would be free to roam the city at night - not possible if you are out at a farm.


I know the flight tickets are terribly expensive, so check out Air Hitch. Imagine hitchhiking at the airport runway ... well, you will be inside the terminal but they will get you to Europe and back and it is the cheapest way to go. It is how I got my one-way ticket in this direction and it was the best $200 I ever spent.


If you Airhitch, stay at hostels for free in exchange for "volunteer work" and stay away from expensive cities and tourist traps, I bet you could make it fine with a budget of $1500 per person for the whole summer. And if you do not make that much come late June, consider staying in a cheap city like Prague -- and remember cheap does not mean uncool.


I haven't told you how to make more money, but I have told you how to save a bunch -- hope I've helped! Have fun!
