Here are some tips for those who love to travel but are still haunted by financial worries.
1. Oslo, Norway
Oslo is on the list of the world's most expensive destinations, but that's no deterrent for smart, creative backpackers. Instead of staying in luxury hotels, book a room at a budget guesthouse or hostel. Also, visit free attractions like the Vigeland Sculpture Park and the Fortress.Akershus.

2. Paris, France
The capital city of Paris is often associated with the word expensive. A luxury hotel room can cost up to $600 a night, with mid-range hotels costing around $210 and the cheapest places costing as much as $70. However, if you learn to live like a local, you won’t spend too much.
