Unless you’ve fallen in love with a VW Camper and the lure of the open road, most backpacking trips will involve some flying. It will nearly always be a budget airline carrier who operates awkward routes such as Malaga to Morocco, or Bangkok to Phuket flights.
Short-haul budget flights mean no legroom, a prison-issue foam square pillow and a few noisy kids. It ain’t pretty, but when you’re travelling on a shoestring, it’s usually a case of cost over comfort. Luckily, there are a few things you can do to make things a bit more bearable.
1) Wear flip flops, whatever the weather. When your feet puff up like soufflés, you won’t have to wedge them painfully back into shoes.

Of all the cities in Europe that I love, I would definitely say that Cambridge is by far one of the most beautiful and chilled out.
