Some people rent out extra rooms in their homes and hospice has some chap places but best thing is stay home and use your money to get a start in life. Travel is not all it is cracked up to be. I have been all over the world with U.S.N. and saw all these places. Just a pile of rocks waiting for a earth quake to shake them down.

You can try Hostels. Most are inexpensive and very accommodating. And usually there are others travelling just like you would be, on a budget. Plus the owners are usually great at giving you ideas on real local experience.

all of those places are amazing! In italy i would recommend rome for fun but for a more local experience the farther south the better. If you prefer north go to the coast like Pisa and up to La Spezia.
London is amazing for its parks, public transportation and free museums. If you dont take advantage of these things dont bother going. Make sure you stay in zone 1 of london. If you are willing to stay in a hostel look in earl’s court nice area north of kensington that will be affordable but a great location. you are walking distance from kensington gardens and hyde park as well as good shopping in high street kensington.

Travel packages and local experience are an oxymoron. (Just as cheap flights across the atlantic and summer.)
Best do it yourself with the help of a good guidebook, staying at hostels and eating food from the supermarket. You’ll need around 50 EUR (70 USD) per day that way. Add to this the flight tickets, which are 1000+ USD in July/August. (Standard off-season fare is 800 USD from most cities in the US.)
Cheapest places to stay in Rome, Florence and Venice are http://www.plusvillages.com
You can find budget flights at http://www.skyscanner.net – be aware that north-south flights book out very early in July/August.
I like the idea of staying with a local, maybe in a shared flat of college students who are mostly gone for holidays. It is difficult to arrange, but worth it if you intend to stay for longer than a week in one place.
