Travel to United Kingdom
For a relatively small country, the United Kingdom packs in a huge amount to see and do. The country is centred around London, which can keep visitors busy for weeks on its own. It's a city with everything- from the palaces of royalty to Premier League soccer, nightlife, fascinating museums and endless dining options. But there is more to the UK than London. Get out to Liverpool, the home of the Beatles, or Bristol - with its maritime past. There are areas of wilderness and natural beauty like Exmoor, historical attractions like Stratford-Upon-Avon and lively cultural centres like Manchester- all within a train or bus ride of each other.

Make sure to avoid the tourist areas and do your research on good places to eat in the area you're visiting, there's bound to be a cheap alternative just off the beaten track which is not only cheaper but often the food will be better as well!
