Title

The Budget Traveller's Guide to Sleeping in Airports

Description

"Forget expedia, travelocity, or gorp. If you want to examine the best travel web site, it's 'The Budget Traveller's Guide to Sleeping in Airports'"

The Budget Traveller's Guide to Sleeping in Airports and the Cheap Like Me Travel Society are the demented concoctions of Donna McSherry, a Canadian, who had an alcohol problem and too much time on her hands back in 1996.

It all really started in the summer of 1994 when Donna travelled to Ireland and Northern Ireland proving to the locals that Canadians really are tight with a buck. The following year, she ventured off to Switzerland. During these trips, she came up with many of the tips you'll find from the Cheap Like Me Travel Society. She brought her own peanut butter, she accepted car rides from strangers (women drivers only...please she's cheap, not dumb), she pretended nothing was wrong when a hostel owner only charged her for one nights stay when he should have charged for two, she accepted a free lunch from a guide at a castle in Ireland, she took the bus between cities, she claimed to be a student even though she was NOT, and she slept in a few airports to save money on hotels. With all this experience, one would think she was a professional. Although there were many a great budget traveller before her, Donna, unemployed at the time and clearly the only budget traveller who had no life and nothing but time on her hands to come up with all these crazy ideas, created a web site chronicling her travels. A few weeks later and no closer to getting a paying job, she created the Budget Traveller's Guide to Sleeping in Airports (BTGSA) and the Cheap Like Me Travel Society (CLMTS).
