Vagabonding in Europe? |
Anyone ever do this or have some tips and suggestions on how to do this? Easy ways to make some money while over there? cheap ways to travel? Is it safe to bring a tent and just camp out where we end up if we find a nice scluded area? Any animals over there that we run the risk of getting eating by? Buying cheap bikes there? Anyhting that could be of value to our trip? Some general info: It will be me, 19, and my buddy, 21, on the trip. We will be gone for 6 months. We will land in Ireland and then go to Scotland, England, Amsterdam, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Greece, Thailand, and Egypt. We already have rounded up all travel expenses including passports and visas and have that money saved and stored away. We will probably bring about $3,000-$5,000 with us for the trip and we are not afraid to rough it. Don't be rude and tell us we are wasting time and money, I don't see travelling and gaining life experience as wasteful. We are going, we are just asking for a little advice. You can bring a tent if you find a place, a camping area to stay in advance. I dont think youd want to end up sleeping in a tent at Tescos parking lot! :p You might want to consider some cheap hotels, and I would definitely recommend finding some in sdvance in case there arent any camping areas around. Most of the bigger cities are... well... big and you ma not be able to find a nice camping place. There are cheap bikes to buy, but you should maybe check on-line to see the general prices. The countries that you are going to visit dont have large unemployment rates as far as I know, but Im not so sure about people wanting to hire some traveller theyve never seen before. However, you might get lucky. Actually, its very probable that in 6 months youll find 2-3 jobs at least. that is, if you try a bit harder to find them. Just a tip: if you want to buy anything, from souvenirs to samdwiches, do not do it in the city centres because its usually more expensive there. Enjoy your trip! p.s. and definitely get those travellers dictionaries, with the main phrases in more than one language. Especially Spain and France! Not mny people speak English there. You'll probably be fine, just remember, those countries would probably prefer tourists who bring money with them and not live like bums... |
