Backpacking Across Europe for a Month
#5792360 - 06/26/06 12:22 PM (17 years, 7 months ago) |
|
|
On July 16th I am boarding a flight to Barcelona. Once there I land with nothing but the bag on my back and a Eurail pass that allows me unlimited train and boat travel between 18 European countries for a span of 21 days.
I plan on chilling in Barcelona for a few (and meeting up with Deepman) before heading to San Sebastian and soaking in all the sights and sounds while thinking about Hemingway getting drunk and writing The Sun Also Rises. From there, I'm going to head into southern france, swim down by the Riviera, and take a few bike rides through sunflower fields in Provence.
From France I'm going to take a train up to Amsterdam where I hope to meet up with cybrbeast and Annom and generally just chill the fuck out for 3 days tops. From Amsterdam I go to Denmark to check out Krishna's old digs at Copenhagen. From Copenhagen I take a boat over to Sweden to explore Stockholm, and from Stockholm I head down to Germany, specifically Berlin, where I'll try to meet up with In(di)go.
What's beautiful about this trip is that nothing is set in stone, I am free to wake up one day and decide to go anywhere I want that's accessible by train and I can do that. I'm renting out my room in my apt. for a month in order to pay my way around Europe - I'll be staying in youth hostels exclusively, looking to meet interesting people along the way.
I can't wait. I'm gonna lay in grassy french fields and read books. I'm going to videotape train rides through valleys and mountains. I'm going to start writing again. I'm going to write as much as I can, everything I feel. I'm going shopping tomorrow for the perfect brand spanking new blank book to record my thoughts in.
Have any of you backpacked across Europe? Any general tips? My girlfriend is lending me the pack she used when she did it a few years ago, and I'm so excited I want to pack now - 3 weeks in advance.

This'll be the first one that isn't rife with hedonism.

Best of luck. That should be one kick ass trip. I was planning to go traveling around europe for a month this summer but instead im gona backpack round thailand instead. Just be carefull not to get ripped off price wise, some parts of europe can be pretty expensive!

It's not my first time heading over there, and the goal of this trip is definitely to budget myself wisely, so I should be fine. Plus, when I get to Berlin I'll be staying with my sister at her apartment (she is living there for the summer studying German) so I won't have to pay for accomodations in Germany. I've heard Stockholm is fairly expensive though, and Barcelona too.
Oh well, I can survive on very little food and lots of cheap hashish. WHat did I say about hedonism again...?

Wow man that's truly awesome. A once in a lifetime experience, or something like that. I bet it will also be a life-changing experience. Fucking rad.

sweet, man! 
i'll do my best to meet up with you in berlin... and if that doesn't look like working i'll head out to amsterdam... neither of the both is too far away from here... plus, it would be cool to see annom and cybrbeast again (maybe even a few other shroomerites)... berlin would be way cheaper for me, though, since i would be able to stay with my brother for free...
we will see... one thing is sure: you will have a great time...

Good Luck! Have a great time thinking about existentialism and all that great relaxed philosophical jazz. Hope your trip is a great experience.

That sounds like some good times, man! :jealous:
I hope you have a great time and take lots of pics. I think it's cool that you plan on meeting up with different Shroomerites in their respective countries.

have fun man, wish i could do the same.

And to see everything else is to become an understanding molecule in evolution, a conscious tool of the universe. And I think every human being should be a conscious tool of the universe. . . . -JG i really am glad you came back to us instead of taking the other path. *hug* -A_S (RIP your final words to me will never be forgotten)

That's exactly what I wanted to do. 
I'm too lazy to actually do it, though.
If you don't mind me asking, what's your budget going to be for this trip?

hey, when youre in berlin, you wont be far from hamburg. if you can, go over to hamburg to spend a friday or saturday night in Reeperbahn (aka the Kiez or St. Pauli). They got some fun nightlife all through the night (and Hamburg is germanys greenest city if you go during the day.) ps, when on the Kiez, becareful and avoid fights...
