Hi!
Just a little background: I will be studying abroad in Florence, Italy in the Fall. Housing and most meals are included in the cost of the trip. I am asking more for advice on budgeting for travel and leisure expenses such as how much spending money should I plan to save up? I plan on taking one or maybe two trips away while I am there (maybe Oktoberfest, London, Paris, etc…). Also, I will be going to bars and such on the weekends, eating out a few nights a week, getting souveniers and gifts for friends, etc… A rough estimate would be greatly appreciated.
Also if anyone has advice on what to do about a phone while I am over there, that would be great. I love my iPhone and want to have it while I’m over there for good quality pictures, but I’m not sure what the cheapest option would be in regards to texting and social media.
