9 Luxurious Airbnbs for a Budget Traveller

9 Luxurious Airbnbs for a Budget Traveller

After nearly a year with my feet in the same place, I am beginning to feel the pull of an adventure. I am sure many of you feel the same way. Especially in the few months after finishing university, it can be a struggle to suddenly find yourself without the daily stimulus of living in a college town. So, adventure calls. But your wallet doesn’t want to pick up the phone.  

If you decide to answer (and I think you should), I am here with nine luxurious Airbnbs around the world for the traveller on a budget. Click through for your next adventure.
