eurotrip 08!

Me and a bunch of my friends just sat down and decided we needed this before we go out into "the real world" and ive never been more pumped for anything in my life haha. we're all putting money away starting this week and plan on going next summer (in 08) for about 2-3 weeks. anyone on the forum ever go?

I've been across most of southern Europe. The best way to do it (especially for you guys) would be to get a Europass- it will let you ride basically any train from anywhere to anywhere else in Europe... it even includes night trains with sleeping bunks... one time I was traveling for almost a month without sleeping in a hotel! lol

Last time i checked Europasses were about $500 for 2 weeks unlimited (but it has been a while)... just don't go to Slovakia! :eek:

haha yeah we looked into the euro pass.
we were thinking we have a lot of time to save money so we might just stay at cheap hostels and stuff.


we are all roughly 18-20....sooo..hahaha

Well, there are places that such things do happen, and not just in Amsterdam ;)

well I KNOW it happens haha,

Thats awesome man, i was in italy and bulgeria in 06 it was the best time of my life. My only advice is stay in hostels, you will save tons for other stuff.

:rockon: Man it will be a ton of fun...

I was hanging in London for two weeks in May and I met some Americans from Florida and they were doing the whole Eurotrip thing. They were awesome to hand out with but the only problem they had was that they bought a cheap phone in France from some dude and they couldnt use it unless they were in France, and they couldnt figure that out without calling the help line and it was French so they had to as me and my buddy to help them call France to figure it out! It was kinda funny... even i could hardly understand the dude on the other line...

Also one of there friends that came with them was going home early because she said she didnt like staying in hostels... It's not the cleanest place in the world but not that bad... So she kinda ruined the fun for them I think a little but I'm sure they sent here home and enjoyed the rest of there travels.

Also we met some crazy guy in the "Chicken Cottage" (kinda like a KFC) and he was British I'm sure, but he was being very scary and asking about my passport and saying he was muslim and how he wanted me to go home to Canada and tell my Prime Minister to stop the war... he was a weirdo, and then he started freaking at the Americans sitting in the restaurant and said some really mean things... but it was kinda cool cause we met new American friends after the crazy guy FINALLY left.

Anyway you will have a blast and I'm sure you will be blasted more then once... Have you guys decided what places your gonna see?? and don't forget to take TONS of pictures! WOO... Once you the travel bug it's hard to stop! You got me all pumped now! My next trip is gonna be the Amazon, or the Arctic...

Wow that sound exciting! I have never been on a "eurotrip" but I did enjoy the movie. It was crazy funny! :cool:

Never been to Europe but the one place I will be visiting in the very near future is Amsterdam...

Well I lived most of my life in France, I also lived Scotland and England for several years, been to Spain, Germany and Belgium.

well we wanna stop in:

Ireland - Guiness Factory, Galway City, Jameson Factory, some other stuff (not yet figured out..)

Italy - Como, Florence, Rome, whatever

Amsterdam - I got in trouble earlier for posting this so I wont.

Paris - I don't know yet

London - I'm not sure, probably a few bars and just touristy stuff so we can "rest" up for the trip home..just chill and stuff.

One of the best times in my entire life was when I was studying Czech in the Czech Republic. We lived for a month in the eastern part of the country, place called Olomouc. After that, we travelled north to Poland, then back south through Slovakia (what's wrong with Slovakia??? Beautiful place... :D ) Hungary, and down to Romania where we stayed in the Carpathian mountains and toured three of Vlad Dracule's castles.

I learned soooo much on that trip. I travelled with a friend of mine... she's still my best friend to this day (if you can travel on a train with someone for 24 hours straight, you'll be friends for life!). I learned so much about myself and so much about life outside of the US... it was awesome!

I hope you have an absolutely amazing time!!!!!!

I'm polish and I've been almost everywhere in Europe.... IMO it's better that the US x100 You should def. go.. :)
