My daughter spent a semester in Rome. She recommends the Panda Hotel (near the Spanish Steps), or the Kennedy Hotel (near the train station) as good, budget-priced hotels with convenient locations.

euroCHEAPO'S REVIEW
The Panda is another reliable budget favorite, booked solid in high season and for good reason. Located on the same block as the Jonella, one block off of the Piazza di Spagna, the Panda offers freshly renovated rooms, clean bathrooms, painted ceilings, beautiful furnishings and cool management.

The Kennedy Hotel is located between the Termini Station and the Basilica of S. Maria Maggiore. Within five minutes walking You’ll arrive at the Terme di Diocleziano, the Opera House, and Via Nazionale. Colosseum and Roman Forum are just ten minutes far from us. The Quirinale, Spanish Step and the Trevi Fountain are within fifteen minutes. The main lines of bus and underground are located in front of the Station, 150 meters far from the Hotel.

Helps to have an employer that will send you overseas. It's always better to travel on someone else's nickel. Or just have a good paying job that can give you enough time off to be able to travel. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
And the travel doesn't have to be all that expensive either. Lots and lots of deals available for planes, trains, and automobiles, and places to crash, especially if you shop around.
Of my trips:
First trip to Europe, paid for by USAF/CAP (student exchange).
First trip to Canada, paid for by Thrillsphere (work).
First trip to Australia and Japan, paid for by Hughes Space and Communications Group (work).
Second trip to Canada, paid for by me.
Second trip to Japan, paid by USAF/CAP (student exchange, work).
Third trip to Canada, paid for by me.
