Anyone out there working on a new one?

Oh! Me: Bratislava and Sarajevo, each with more to come.

Now that it's summer and people are traveling...bump.

I just added Kyiv under the Europe forum.

Cheap & Free: Zürich ... now with pictures!

How about a cheap and free guide to Sydney?

Oh YEAH YEAH YEAH!!! Thanks maggiegirl, that would be 6 kinds of fabulous!

Wait I'm taking a closer look at your post -- would you be interested in starting a post and listing selective cheap + free info on Sydney, or were you posting the cityhobo link? It's a great link, but it's got lots of general info on there as opposed to specifically cheap + free.

Yeah, the cheap and free guides are ones that Boots members have created. I am certain that if maggiegirl were to create one for Sydney, we would all cheer wildly.

I'd say it would qualify for a free karma custom title! (But I just post here. You'll have to get a mod to sign off on that.)

What do you say, maggiegirl?

I'm just noticing this post now after months of not having the time to login on too many travel forums.

I'd be happy to do one for Washington DC (although almost everything good in DC is already free because a lot of the cultural activities are government-subsidized). I could also do one for Taipei but I'm not sure it'd be as in-demand.

I can do one for Minneapolis or Mexico City, after the New Year.

Welllll HELLO channamasala! Where's my video of the Dancing Sushi Chef?

Washington DC and Taipei would both be GREATLY appreciated!

These guides are a big help to people going to these places. All of us are watching our money when we travel, and for some it really makes a difference in whether they can add a place to their itinerary at all if they know ahead of time some money-saving tips. I am sure there are people checking these boards who could use a cheapie guide to Taipei.


Felix, ditto on Minneapolis + Mexico City. Either / or, or both if you feel inspired. I'd love to have one for Mexico City, I really want to check out that place more thoroughly sometime soon.

Anyone else?

Thanks to Kate + Skobb for the updates to C + F Europe. Especially as Europe is now more expensive than ever for us Yankees.

There really should be one for Vancouver and maybe even Calgary...

It's a new year. Time to build some good travel karma for yourself with an addition to the Cheap and Free City Guides we have going here at Bootsnall. Share the wealth.

That's my soft sell...

Anyway, these guides are really helpful to your fellow travelers. I see lots of new members on the boards who may not know about the phenomenal and inexplicable personal good luck ( really! ) that follows the writing up of one of these guides. Perhaps one of you may want to write up some cheapie tips on Paris Dubai Buenos Aires Vancouver Cape Town London Sydney etc etc etc to share with the rest of us cashstrapped travelers.

Note: we have none for Australia, Africa, the Middle East, South or Central America, and only 2 for Asia so far!

A description of these guides is on the first page of this thread.

Click on any of the ones we have so far (below) to see what these are like. If you're so inclined to write up one, you can make it as short or long as you wish.

Also, if there's already an existing guide, add on your tips!

And I repeat my call to Bootie HQ: Where's Cheap + Free Portland?? Surely one of you wants to sing the praises of the Voodoo Donut?

And Portland, of all cities, remains a blank too? Ah-hem.

I would like to do one for Anchorage Alaska - but post it where? PM to whom? Not sure what to do once written.

Yay!

Post it in the North America Forum . I'll see it there and add it to the list.

Thanks!!

If this is still going down, I can try to make one for LA

Yes, we'd love to have more of these - when you post it, just let me know so we make sure it gets linked up properly.
