Food is a flexible element of your budget, as you have the greatest control over it. If you're travelling alone, and on a stringent budget, you can always make your own food with the ingredients available locally. This would not only turn out to be cheap, but would also give you a hands-on feel of the local culture and way of life.
Here are five easy-to-make recipes when you're travelling alone.
Italy
Italian cities have plenty of things to see and do, and this is why you'll find all major airlines having flights to Italy. It is the birthplace of most Western comfort foods such as pasta and pizza. While here, you can cook up simple meals with ingredients found in almost every grocery store or supermarket. Pasta is probably the easiest to make. Boil water, add salt, and add pasta to it. Once it cooks, pour some store-bought marinara or white sauce and cook for a few more minutes. Finally, shred your favorite cheese and enjoy. You can add shrimp, chicken pieces, and vegetables also for more variety.
