You could stay in Hostels. Hostels, also called youth hostels, provide short-term accommodation to travellers or backpackers, particularly encouraging outdoor activities and cultural exchange for the young. Hostels are also often called backpackers' hostels (or backpackers' for short), particularly in Australia and New Zealand.In a hostel guests rent a bed (sometimes a bunk bed) in a dormitory and share common bathroom, kitchen, and lounge rooms. Private rooms are often available. The main benefits of a hostel are firstly the low cost of the accommodation compared to alternatives such as hotels, and that one gets to meet other travellers from all over the world. Hostels are usually less formal and less expensive than hotels. They are most frequently used by young travellers. In the past many hostels had imposed age limits, but today it's more common for hostels to accept guests of all ages. Despite the openness of modern hostels, the majority of guests are traditionally and overwhelmingly between the ages of 18 and 26.Hostels provide opportunity for multicultural enlightenment. There is more interaction between guests than in traditional hotels, and many hostels provide activities to their guests for free or at low cost. There are some potential drawbacks to using hostels.Some hostels have a curfew, daytime lockouts, and/or require to do chores, but often these rules have been abandoned, see below.Theft can be a problem since guests share a common living space, but this can be prevented by locking belongings up. Most hostels offer some sort of system for safely storing your valuables, and many offer private lockers. However, for the greater part travellers are equally concerned for the well-being of their own belongings that theft of other people's belongings rarely takes place.One potential drawback to staying in hostels is difficulty sleeping because of noise, whether from snoring or someone returning to the room late in the evening. For this reason, some hostels associations fix times for last admission and lights out.Hostelling International, formerly known as International Youth Hostel Federation (IYHF), is the federation of more than 90 national youth hostel associations in more than 80 countries who run over 4,500 youth hostels and youth hotels around the world. They include the Youth Hostels Association (YHA) in England and Wales and the Scottish Youth Hostels Association (SYHA) in Scotland (founded in 1931). They act under the common brand Hostelling International. Youth hostels were originally very different in setup than other modern hostels, although the growing popularity of the backpacker subculture has forced them to adapt so as not to lose customers, most notably abandoning the idea of chores in all but a few of their locations. The youth hostels in the USA (where backpackers haven't made as much of an inroads as elsewhere) are still closest to the original setup.The Youth Hostel movement was begun in 1909 by Richard Schirrmann, a German schoolteacher who saw the need for overnight accommodation for school groups so that they could experience the countryside. This started with schools being used during the holidays. The first Jugendherberge (Youth Hostel) was opened in Schirrmann's own school, in Altena, Westphalia. In 1912 it was replaced by a permanent hostel in Altena Castle, and there is still a hostel in the castle grounds today. He founded the nation-wide German Youth Hostel Association in 1919.The movement spread rapidly worldwide. The Youth Hostels Association of Great Britain formed as a joint initiative between rambling, cycling and youth organisations, then in 1930 – 1931 it founded separate associations in England and Wales (the YHA), Scotland (the SYHA) and in Ireland.The International Youth Hostel Federation was founded on 20 October 1932 in Amsterdam by representatives from associations in Switzerland, Czechoslovakia, Poland, the Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, Britain, Ireland, France and Belgium. In 1933 Richard Schirrmann, the founder of the German youth hostel association, became the chairman but was forced to resign by the Nazis in 1936.The organisation provides services for travellers and coordinates the national organisations. It also facilitates youth work and international understanding. The office is based in Welwyn Garden City outside London

Get a second job and save every penny from it. get a group of people together that are also on a budget and share hotel rooms which you researched and booked ahead of time. Stay away from London or only stay there for a day because it is really expensive. Don't eat out for every meal. Make a budget and stick to it.

You shouldn't be traveling to Europe. You are the lower class, you should be working your life away for minimum wage in order to make the upper class more rich. If you are off in Europe how are they going to exploit you in order to buy a new Mercedes. Now get to work!!! there are needy millionaires depending on you!!

Buy the book "Europe on 84 cents a day" by Gil White. It tells you how to roam all around Europe for almost free and it includes how to get food and lodging without paying for it and also meeting many new and interesting people in the process. However, it is not for the faint of heart - one must be willing to extrovert and also be willing to take a few risks here and there. It certainly does not promise to tell you how to stay in a four star hotel...

Please check out some travel guides at your library and on the Internet. You should look into staying at HOSTELS and maybe go to less expensive countries, like Portugal, Spain, and some East European countries. I suppose going on the Cheap is better than not going at all, but come on, you aren't going to enjoy yourself if you can't afford to spend a little, or have some reserve bucks for an emergency. After all, you are trying to prove you are an adult by traveling, so don't go to Europe, then phone home to beg for money.
