Helen is an Aussie so it’s in her DNA to haggle. And as an Aussie she knows you haven’t got the best price possible unless the guy selling you that wooden salad bowl either bursts into tears or chases you out of his shop with a shotgun. (It’s interesting to note in Helen’s bio that she admits her husband was shot in Argentina.)

Her tips on haggling will ensure that you never pay too much again. And she lists her top 10 favourite places to bag a bargain.

Just make sure the vendor isn’t packing heat before you start negotiations.

Young Andrew spent 11 months in Australia on a working holiday visa and gives the lowdown on his top 10 Aussie hostels. Which is fine, except one is on Skye and the other is in New York.

Allowances should be made though. He says Melbourne is his favourite city in the world. Even after visiting Sydney. I think his choice of eye wear must have let him down.

Tom Kopp is a German who had visited every continent by the time he was 23. How did he afford it? By sticking out his thumb, I suspect. His fan chapter gives you the lowdown on the art of hitching as well as his top ten unforgettable lifts.
