This guy in a Lisbon hostel kitchen taught me the real meaning of 'budget travel' with a single sentence

He was making a full meal from leftover bread and market scraps, looked at my instant noodles, and said, 'If you only eat to save money, you're not traveling, you're just hungry in a new place.'

That quote hits different after you've been both people on different trips.

My Lisbon trick: buy one fresh ingredient to upgrade every cheap meal.

Wait, he was making a full meal from leftover bread? I mean, that takes some serious kitchen skills right there. Most I could do with old bread is maybe some sad toast.
