When were you planning on going 2 europe? i am
hoping to go around the middle of september. I am
planning on flying into Italy and then going pretty much
anywhere. I definitely want to go to france, spain and
holland(and a few other places).<br><br>I would love to hear
about your plans and/or talk about the trip.

I am hoping to travel for an extended time
through Europe (my first time) starting in the Fall
(2000). I would appreciate any info, tips, advice, etc.
that visitors to this club could provide. I'm looking
to backpack (maybe camp). Other than looking forward
to a great experience, I would like to use this
opportunity to be the eyes and ears for my 2 young daughters
and bring them back something special. I hope to
chronicle my experience with cultures, people and historic
(and not-so-historic) places through various differect
media (writing, photography, art, ect.) to give them a
sense of what I experience and to inspire them to
travel when they get a little older.<br><br>Thanks!

I am intereseted in doing something like this, let me know if there is still an
openning and some of the particulars.  Thanks

just joined this club .I hope here are some
people as crazy about southern-europe countries as I am
(especially Italy).<br>Now I only can dream about it ,I think
we don't have summer this year in Austria .<br>ciao
xinja

Hi! Some friends and I are inter-railing Holland, France, Spain, Portugal and
Morrocco(?), in September. I'd be interested in talking to anyone planning a
similar journey.

What we are doing is forming a group of 10
persons to travel southern europe during the winter 0f
2000-20001 and then north in the summer. <br><br>A person
may join or leave at any time. We shall travel by
small bus and camp at camp sites! We are doing
backpacking at interesting sites for one or two
days.<br><br>You may contact me for more info
<br>urbano_us@...

I would be very interested in learning more about this trip.  I am new to
backpacking, but am very eager to do it and right in this time frame.  Look
forward to hearing from you-

I would like to know if the student card works in Germany?, have someone in here
used it? thanks, Jorge

Gracias por los tips, creo que llevare ese dinero, otra pregunta, sirve la
tarjeta de estudiante internacional? la has usado? <br><br>Jorge

I'll be in Europe in late summer. Let me know what your itenerary is and maybe
we can hook for a day or so. <br><br>Are you leaving from the states?

Jorge:<br><br>Desbes de llevar definitivamente un
paraguas o un buen poncho plastico. En Alemania llueve
mucho en el verano, pero desde ahora hasta finales de
septiembre el clima es simplemente bueno. En las mañanas se
puede sentir algo de frio, pero lleva principalmente
playeras, una que otra sudadera de colores oscuros y una
chamarra ligera. NO sentiras frio en ninguna de estas
ciudades en el verano. En cuanto a el $$ : LLeva un
equivalente a 40 o 50 marcos alemanes para cada dia si te la
quieres pasar bien. Una comida de mediodia te costara
unos 10 marcos, 20 si es en restauranto. Una cerveza
en un Biergarten cuesta unos 5 marcos, etc. se gasta
en relacion a lo que se hace.<br><br>cualquier otra
pregunta que tengas, echame un
mail<br>harrison_eduardo@...<br><br>nos vemos.<br>EH

Muchas gracias, solo quiero saber, si llueve
mucho, hace calor, que ropa deveria de llevar? voy a
Berlin principalmente, y a Hannover, ya tengo comidas y
lugar donde dormir, mas o menos cuanto dinero me
aconsejas que lleve? muchas gracias, Jorge

Hola Jorege:<br><br>Mi nombre es Eduardo y soy de
Sonora. Yo acabo de llegar de Alemania despues de vivir
medio año ahi. Mi tip para ti es que no te lleves
ningun rollo para tus fotos a alemania. Yo los compraba
alla y en realidad cuestan lo mismo que aca. Te
sugiero que los compres y los reveles en alemania, ya que
la calidad de los laboratorios es por mucho mejor
que en mexico. Asi que hay unas tiendas que se llaman
"netto" (en el sur de alemania), y ahi te cobran los
revelados muy baratos y realmente hacen un buen trabajo. El
costo es de mas o menos 10 marcos por 24 exposiciones,
asi que de hecho es mas barato que en mexico, y te
ahorras la angustia de que se velen en los detectores de
metal de los aeropuertos.<br><br>Suerte En Deutschland
y cualquier cosa estoy para
ayudarte.<br><br>Eduardo

Hello, my name is Jorge, im 15 and im from
Veracruz, Mexico, I want to congratulate the ones that made
possible this club, is very nice, and I hope that the
comunity keep growing.<br><br> I would like to be a
backpacker, or travel, even without a pack or anything, the
thing is to travel, I am going to go to Germany in one
month, for 4 or 5 weeks, im staying with a family and im
going to travel in the country, so it would not be
exactly a backpacker, for me it will count as the first
experience as a backpacker, the second traveling without
family (I traveled to Mazatlan, Mexico last year) and
the first intercontinental travel, I am very excited,
and would like to have some tips, im taveling lite
(2600 cubic inch backpack), and have free rail sistem
in all germany, unfortunately im not going out from
the country, I hope to have the time to get know it
well, or at least something.<br><br> I just have some
questions:<br><br> 1)Whats the best way to pack my stuff, specialy
clothes?<br> 2)How do I pack my clothes in a way that they
dont wrinkle?<br> 3)Is the camera film espensive in
Germany? in Mexico I can get 6 kodak iso 400 ultra with 24
shots for 16-17 USD, should I buy this here or
there.<br><br> Thanks, Jorge

I have just joined this club and hope to share some advice/stories etc. on
backpacking round Europe. Ahh the nostalgia of spending Summer without any
problems on the rails round Europe!

We all like a good story. Here's a story of an
English chap that thought he would just be able to
relax.<br><br><a

Hello!<br>What you are planning to do is exactly
what i'm doing now!I am an Australian, but i also have
British citizenship- which is very helpful for working in
the U.K or Europe. If you have a mother ,father or
grandparent, you can claim a british passport through ancestry
etc.<br>Its such a worthwhile thing to look into cause its
made working over here(u.k)a lot easier.<br>Also by
basing yourself in britian before heading off to europe
you find that a lot of better deals can be found when
booking your tickets. Although the rate of exchange from
Aus$$ to U.K.£ is depressing its alot better if you
earn extra money before you leave Aus.

Hello. I am considering going to England to work for a year and then travel
around Europe. I was wondering if there is anyone who has done this who could
tell me what it was like. Thanks.

Hi Scott,<br><br> There's a site that carries
stories and guides to Europe. They also have a member's
database so you could cntact some of those folks. Here's a
link.<br><br><a

ANyone know anything about Prague, safety wise. I
just made a friend who lives in Prague, and I want to
visit him this summer since i"ll be in europe, but my
parents and grandma don't want me to go. Is it a
dangerous place or are they just bein paranoid<br>Jill

Hello, my name is Scott and I live in Wisconsin,
US. I want to travel to Europe in late 2000(maybe
November) and pssibly travel for 2-3 months(or until I go
broke). If anyone is interested in talking or maybe even
coming along contact me : )

I have stayed in London several time and the
cheapest place I stayed was just outside Victoria Station.
(Can't remember name) but go to the accomodation box
inside the station & they will put you in touch with a
cheap hostel for approx 15 pounds per night. Reductions
sometimes if you stay longer, or hand out flyers
etc.<br><br>I think that the accomodation place charges approx
1.50 (pounds) for this service.

My sister and I are goin to Europe for about a
month this summer, but we're trying to keep it as cheap
as possible. I've been readin up on hostels, but I
was wondering whats the cheapest anyones gotten a
night in a hostel for especially in places like london,
also if you know of any other kind of places to stay
that are cheaper that'd be helpful
too.<br>Thanks<br>Jill

I want to go to Europe in late summer and I'm wondering if anyone wants to
travel with me.<br>                      Frodoggg@...

Hi, sounds like fun!!<br>But I've only been to
Europe for a month and 1/2 but pack lite,prepare to ship
stuff home,take credit cards,and a book. Enjoy hostel
life and take loads of pictures.<br><br>Aaron-Noel

interests. You can find it at:
clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/eurorail but don't worry it doesn't concern only europe,
There are members from all over the world. Ah, there
are even some very good photoes. See ya soon

Hello,<br>I am planning to leave for Europe in February 2000 and return many
months later (maybe November 2000).  Has any one else gone on a long backpacking
trip or planning one for next year?
