imageThe New York Times Frugal Traveler columnist offers a thoughtful reflection on his just-completed European tour, and shares some lessons learned in frugality—“Redefine ‘Europe,’” for one.

Gross writes: “For frugal travelers, Europe’s flexible identity is a boon. Everything you can find in the traditional—and often expensive—lands of the Grand Tour is also available somewhere else on the Continent for much less. ... In other words, get to the New Europe—whatever that may mean to you—soon, before it gets old, well known and far, far from frugal.”
