We want to hear from you!

Calling all Smarter Travelers: We want to hear from you!

If you're a regular reader, you hear from us a lot. Now, we're trying out something new and asking you for your stories, which we'll collect and publish in June.

This time, we'd love to know about your favorite affordable experiences in Europe, those ones you can't stop thinking about or describing to family, friends, or anyone who will listen.

From interesting and affordable to surprisingly cheap, fill us in on the details of your favorite affordable finds in Europe. Maybe it's a great B&B in the Irish countryside where you get a room full of history and a fantastic breakfast for €35 a night, or a five-course feast in Paris for €20. It could also be something that doesn't cost a thing: the perfect beach in Spain, an out-of-the-way ruin in Portugal, or a street festival in Germany.

We're looking for the stuff that really stands out in your memory and that other people could do too, if they were so inclined.



Send us your stories

of 250 words or less by June 12. On June 21, we'll publish a selection of those we think best capture the spirit of travel and smart spending.

Thanks so much! We're really looking forward to hearing your stories.
