Traveling. It is almost a myth to travel without burning a hole in the pocket. But One advice from a wise traveler is to always try to find free activities in the city to learn way more than what money can give you.

Liverpool has definitely so much more to offer than just football and the Fab Four. We're about to spill some tea on how to make your travel to Liverpool so much more memorable without having to spend a penny.
