I had always dreamed of living in Paris. In fact, I promised myself last January that, at some point in my life, I would move from Manhattan to the City of Lights for at least six months, but I never expected my dream to come true so soon. Many expatriates find lodging through American churches and bars as landlords and people seeking roommates post ads there. English bookshops such as WHSmith also sell magazines that list apartments for rent. If you're trying to save money, the best way to get around is by making good use of public transportation.
Most cities offer weekly and monthly passes which can be used on subways and buses.
These passes often entitle you to an unlimited number of rides. And while you have to fork over a lump sum at the beginning of the month, these passes end up saving you money in the long run. If you're itching to go on the road but don't have a lot of money to spend, there are lots of fabulous destinations that won't break the bank. So you can find cheap deals on places to stay, food, and travel costs and still have amazing adventures and see exotic sights. The hitch with this type of traveling is that you have to be flexible and open-minded.
