European Backpack

How would you like to spend your summer backpacking across Europe?  This is
a common dream of many people and for the lucky ones, that dream vacation
will one day come true.  This is not a trip that you should take lightly
because this type of trip takes a lot of planning to do it right.

Getting there is just the first step.   You will need to find a hostel in
the towns that you have planned to travel through.   Use the hostel
directory and see what each one offers and if they can cover your needs.
Transportation through each country can be a real adventure but can be
confusing if you don't understand the language.  Language dictionaries are
good  to have with you if you find yourself in a place where nobody speaks
your language.

Begin early to make a list of the travel supplies that you will need.
Small packages of laundry detergent is always a good idea and also travel
towels and soap. You might want to consider a mini travel alarm clock and a
voltage converter with an adapter.  Get a good guidebook, one that is up to
date as this will be a life saver when it comes time to find food and the
nearest train station.
