the student backpacker


Hey there, I’ve been a little quiet lately, but I’m back!

I’ve been a little busy behind the scenes; you can click this link to see my latest updates page!

Hey, I’m Benny – a full-time student and part-time travel hacker.

Based in the UK, I explore Europe’s most exciting cities with just a student budget, carry-on bag, and 48 spare hours.

Whether I’m eating €1 pizza in Naples or crossing three countries in a single day, this blog is all about maximising time, money, and adventure.

You’ll find:

  • Itineraries made for fast-paced travel and tight schedules
  • Real budgets (no influencers flying business class here)
  • Travel tools, hacks, and a free AI trip planner to build your own adventure
  • YouTube videos showing the actual chaos behind each trip

Let’s prove you don’t need £££ to live like a local or eat like royalty.
