Guest Computer Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Sounds awesome! You def got some balls! Sorry for posting my own plans in your thread. But Im also heading over to Europe (Amsterdam.

cichlisuite Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 hitchhiking that. it is the cheapest way. the good thing is to ask the truck drivers where they're headed and join them. some will really appreciate the company. interrail can be very expensive. you could try sneaking on a empty cargo train. we did this once and it was a real fun. you come to a railway station and wait for a cargo train to be unloaded, then jump on the platform. you have to be careful not to be seen, and get a firm grip and warm clothes. the bad thing is that you don't know where you're headed, but that the fun part isn't it? also it's quite hard to be so lucky and find an empty cargo train stopping somewhere. there is really alot to see in europe everywhere you go. all the cities are amazing, i'd highly recommend berlin (i trully love that city), and there are many ways to get around with little or no money. the thing with working can get a little complicated as usually you require certain status or documents, so i'd recommend earning your money somewhere in the country by helping in a cheap restaurant or physical labor. in the cities it is possible to earn quite good as a waiter, but usually requires some experience and speaking the local language. anyway, people know english quite good (except the italians and parts of eastern europe). you can PM me, if you have any specific questions.

keltoi Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 btw, train fares are INSANE in the uk they are - i got a return to Bedford the other day and it cost 3 dragons, a 1979 Austin Allegro and 8 Fish Fingers. 8 Fish Fingers, that just takes the biscuit!! but on the europe front, Amsterdam is like Disney Land for adults, getting a bit more expensive compared to a few years back, but still cheap compared to say UK. Also Estonia is like the cheapest place i've ever been, its damn fucking cold, but we found a bar where it worked out that it was like 50p a pint of lager!! places to stay are crappy but cheap, food is OK and cheap, and the people are very insane, v.entertaining!! i was there 2 weeks ago... most bars were about 5 euros a pint... some were as much as 8. stupidly expensive i thought.

keltoi Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 it's cool. i was pretty surprised how expensive it was. sadly the euro is well and truly putting an end to cheap breaks in europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest -Ad- Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I recommend going to Iceland and other parts of Scandanavia, but if you do then be prepared to pay £6+ for a bottle of beer. Barcelona and London would also be top of my list. London truly is amazing...I've lived here for 4 years and still haven't begun to see and do everything that it has to offer.

marf Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Wow, you can hitchhike in Europe without getting murdered? I envy you guys. What is so great about Berlin? I hear people love it. Is it mostly newer architecture due to the ww2 bombings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keltoi Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Wow, you can hitchhike in Europe without getting murdered? I envy you guys. i wouldn't do it alone or with a gf or if you're not fairly sure you can handle yourself a bit... and carry a big knife. other than that it's pretty safe.

marian Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 if you stroll around in NRW (ruhr area, cologne etc.) give me a shout. hitchhiking is easy in europe, just don't do it in italy/spain (no one will pick you up). best places for hitchhiking are ex-ussr-countries. also: http://www.couchsurfing.com/ have fun in the old world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLA FUR BIS FLE Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 You will be at home in Europe. Everyone loves Canadians over there. In fact, when I would tell people I was from Niagara Falls, they would get excited and say "OH YOU ARE CANADIAN!", and then I would have to explain that No, i was from the American side of the border. Then they would look at me funny, and go on pretending they hadn't heard me, acting as if I was Canadian. No matter how hard I tried to explain, most people just weren't having it.
