Thread: No idea how to start planning for this trip.

Hey ya'll!
Ok, so I am a 21 year old female from New Orleans, La & am planning on taking a trip to Brazil within the next year or so.

Obviously, I know I am going to have to save up some cash. I have a part time job as a receptionist so it's not like I make much cash...about $250 a week.

Anyways, my question is, WHERE DO I BEGIN? How much money should I be putting aside a week? I would love to be able to visit next year. Hopefully I can have enough money for everything. Also, after I have the money saved up, what's the next step? Booking a flight?

Help meeee. =] I'm so confused...

Thank you guys soooo much, I hope to hear from some of you!

XOXO,
kristin

try websites that specialize in tourism in Brazil... search engines will help you find them...

First thing, make a lot of frendship in Brazil, like that you don´t need to pay hotel, wich is the most expensive, but do this while you are there. Just in case that you don´t have any friends, there is a lot of hostels, Hostelling International they are cheap and confortable, food in Brazil is not expensive. If you find a cheap hotel with 200 dolars per week will be good, food included. If you come by an agency it will be so much expensive.

Anyway you need to know wich city you want to go. If you need any help just post here.
