I wanted to travel and see the country. I went out more often than in home, main reason for that is the cheapness of it. Same amount of money I spent home in one evening, I could go out for a week.

If you want to travel, it is a good idea to buy the discount card for railways.

I had to buy a prepaid SIM-card, which is not that cheap. Normally if I travel in Finland, I don't have to spend nights in hostels, I know how the system works, I know where to eat or drink out. When you travel in a foreign country, it's not always that cheap.

Contrary to some student I didn't open a bank account: since may 2002, there is no extra charges for cash dispensers in the Euro Zone for its citizens.

I spent less money in travels because even if I traveled a lot the flights from Bremen are a way less expensive than flights from Madrid and the possible destination countries are much more.
