    I'm going travelling in 2 and a half weeks for 5 months and im not sure im going to have enough money to be able to do everything i want to do while im away.

    All I need is £2000 to help fund my trip, and im sure ill be able to pay it all back in a matter of a few months when im home.

    I'm not sure what I should get that will be the best value for money. Any ideas?

    if your wanting to go then why dont you save up for it, i take it preparation isnt 1 of your strong points is it ?

    could your family lend you the money ?

    Bit late to suddenly realise you're 2k short isn't it ? Best value for money ? Do what you can afford, leave out what you can't.

    I wouldn't bother with sensible answers chaps. This OP had 5 posts yesterday, now only one.

    The troll posts are being removed.

    A lot of members on this board may not have had the chance to experience this, which is a shame; It's something everybody should be allowed the chance to do.
    I completely agree with that. Everyone should live in another country at least once in their lives.

    Can beat that easily! I do it loads, usually every year, and generally for two weeks at a time. Highly recommended. :)
