Is there any way to get a hotel room under 18 (17 years old) in the US?
Every hotel may have in its own hotel policy a minimum age requirement, be it 18 or 21. However, there has been a trend with at least one lawyer having a 14 year old call the hotel; the 14 year old had his own credit card and state ID. With the hotels that refused to rent a room to him, the lawyer then took over and sued the hotel for age discrimination.Legally speaking, if someone was able to present all of the requirements that any other guest is required to present (we require only a government issued ID and a credit card), then if a hotel were to refuse, it could find itself under scrutiny.I do know that some states, such as Texas, that does have statutes on its books that allows each hotel to set a minimum age (even 25, if they’d like). Under this statute, it continues on to state that guests under 18 will have their parents held liable for any damages caused by a negligent child/Yes, I do know that minors cannot legally enter into contract; we are caught between the proverbial rock and a hard place on this one.I will give you the following reference to substantiate my assertions in this presentation: Jonathan Asselin-Normand .

How old do you have to be to book a hotel room in Australia?
Hi there - at all the Hotels I have worked in Australia (for 25+ years now), you have to be 18 years or older to check in and you will also need a valid credit card. Usually a $100-$200 pre-authorisation is taken off the credit card when you check in (along with some form of identification proving you are over 18), which is a security bond if you partake of mini-bar, damage the room etc. This amount is not actually a payment and is just HELD and is refunded when you check-out around 3–5 days later depending on your bank’s policy.You also have to have an adult (18 years or over) staying in the hotel room with you if you are under 18. I have had young sports teams staying in my Hotels and there had to be an adult staying in each room with the under-age persons.Of course, there are many people under the age of 18 who will try to book a room with no adult accompanying them, however if it is suspected on check-in that the person is underage, there will be questions asked and if at any time during your stay it is suspected you don’t have an adult with you or there is a party or excessive noise, you will be asked to leave the premises immediately and/or the police will be called.All these measures are for the safety of yourself and other guests and to cover the Hotel staff and property.Hope this helps.Marie.
How much does it cost for an Indian to travel all of Europe?
I do not know how much it would cost to travel all of Europe but I can cite my euro trip plan and cost for it. I backpacked through Europe for a period of 24 days. I have visited Greece, Italy, Spain, France, Belgium, Amsterdam, Prague, Germany (just overnight stay), Switzerland. It cost me a whole of 1,60,000 approximately.The biggest advantage with Europe is you get a Schengen visa and you can travel to 26 countries of Europe. I was checking for the visa requirements list, here are the docs you need to submit:1)We need to have flight ticket bookings.2) We need to have accommodation bookings.3) Need Euro rail pass in case you are planning to travel multiple countries like I did.4) Bank account statement with a good enough balance to cover you expenses in Europe.5) Travel Insurance. Below is the split of my expenses with a small brief and the route map:1) Visa charges - INR 60002) Air tickets (Turkish airlines) - Mumbai-Istanbul-Athens/Zurich-Istanbul-Hyderabad. - INR 55,0003) Travel Insurance - Rs 2000 (I don't remember the exact number)4) Euro Rail pass + Train Tickets - Rs 16,000 + Rs 10,0005) Accommodation charges - 45,000 - Few days I did the overnight journey on the trains, I slept outside the airports, slept in the garden near the eiffel tower and in a telephone booth to beat the cold.6) Sightseeing tickets for Colosseum, Comp Nou stadium, Eiffel Tower, Vatican City, Louvre museum, Bike rent for a day - Rs 10,0007) Food - I made it a habit to have heavy breakfast, which I get as a complimentary in the hotel I stayed. Then I used to have a burger combo in McD, this cost me about 6euros (=INR 360). A light snack in the evening worth 4 euros. I allotted a budget of 10 euros for food per day. I stayed for 24 days so 24 * 6euros = 144 euros rounding off to 150 euros. In Indian rupees, food cost me another INR 10,350.8) Misc - INR 5000. I did not do any shopping and no adventures activities in Swiss.The total cost was = 1,60,000 (rounded number).During my trip in 2012, Airbnb and couch surfing did not catch up. I used Booking.com: The largest selection of hotels, homes, and vacation rentals instead.My route map of the trip.PS: I did the trip in 2012. The value of euro was equal to INR 69. I felt that the trip can be done for a much lower cost if I had carried a tent with me because Europe is quite safe.

Can a 17-year-old book a hotel room solo in India?
A clear answer to this is “NO”. Our law doesn’t allow a person less than 18 years (completed) of age to live in a hotel alone or with others of the same age. There must be at least one person who has completed 18 years of age in the group staying in one room. Moreover, for a male and female to stay together when anyone of them or both are less than 18 years of age, they must be related by blood or adoption (brother and sister) or must be accompanied by their legal guardians (usually parents).I was looking for a link for this and found that pride hotel has simplified these things on a web page. Here it is: Things You Need To Know Before Booking A Hotel Room In India | Pride Hotel BlogHope you find this helpful.
Advice on Island hopping in Greece?
With the limited amount you have to spend for two people and two weeks you will not be getting any island hopping however much hoping and hopping you may do. Tickets alone, to let's say 3 islands, will be barely covered with half the amount. Even if you sleep on the beach you need monet to eat and drink. A modest amount of 50 euros per day per person will barely cover meals and board. Best, abort the idea of island hopping. A cluster worth visiting are the Saronic islands and the adjoining mainland ports.
How much money should I take for a six week backpacking tour through Southeastern Europe?
Well, this depends on where exactly you go and what you do - south-eastern Europe is a big place... Accommodation: In Istanbul or Dubrovnik, a hostel bed or the smallest hotel room may easily cost $50, while in a smaller Bulgarian, Macedonianor Montenegrin town one can often find a private room for $20 (sometimes through airbnb, sometimes a guy approaches travelers at a bus station and offers rooms, sometimes you just find the town's only hotel). Official camp sites in touristy areas may cost you $20 or so, but wild camping (free) is possible too (with the obvious safety concerns, of course). I've heard that in some countries (Macedonia, Bulgaria, maybe Serbia) it is fairly common for tourists (hikers especially) to stay in monasteries, which often have some kind of pilgrims' quarters, fairly inexpensive; of course, this implies that you are at least respectful toward their values.Transportation: Trains and buses are not too expensive; I'd imagine one can put together an end-to-end itinerary, with dozens of stops, all the way from Istanbul to Trieste or from Athens to Budapest, with all fares totaling under $300-400.Food: a few pieces of burek (Börek , cheese pastry) or a loaf of bread, a jar of Ajvar (the word is cognate with "caviar", but ajvar is obtained from eggplants, rather than the sturgeon fish), a pound of apricots or sweet peppers, a cup of yogurt or Airan , and a bottle of Vranac may cost just a few bucks (under $10 probably). But of course one can spend a lot more on food - there is plenty of good stuff over there (think Baklava , for example). Farmers markets are always fun to visit; there are also Lidl stores in Croatia (and maybe elsewhere), and similar local supermarket chains in other countries.Museums and other attractions may sometimes be pricey ($10-15), but lots of natural sites are free.Overall, it seems like the inland regions (Bulgaria outside the seaside resorts, Macedonia, maybe Serbia) are comparatively cheaper, while the coastal ones (Croatia's Dalmatia, Turkey) are a lot more expensive. Montenegro and Albania are somewhat in between. God knows what will happen with Greece now, and what currency they will have...
