What, BDH travels? Fuck yes he does.
I'm heading to Europe in June as a graduation gift. I'm going to fly to into Lisbon, Portugal roughly around June 1st or 2nd and then have to be up to London by July 1st, no set plans in between. I am bringing a new backpack I bought with my things and living hostel to hostel. I also found a website:
CouchSurfing - Participate in Creating a Better World, One Couch At A Time that I hope to use to find random free places to stay and meet new people. I'm in all likelihood going to hit up Spain, Italy, France, Netherlands, Switzerland, and England along my trip most likely in that order but who knows. That's kind of the route I've been looking at via EuroRail. My goal is to be in London for pretty much the entire last week of June because I have a friend there who is being a nanny for a year. Her and I we're both tennis players in high school together and in the same conference in college, so we are planning on going to Wimbledon for a day or two.
I don't know where I'll stay the longest but it probably depends on how much I'm enjoying that place. Dent, HCW, or GWB if any of you guys want to get together in London for a Nubblies night of mayhem let me know, just don't get me deported!
Any more experienced travelers or Europeans themselves have some advice for cheap travel and stay? All would be much appreciated.
