Anne I like the way your talking. I will be starting off in Ireland and then traveling over and down from there. I plan on backpacking for 3 weeks or so but like you said no set plans. I thought about getting just a one way there and dealing with it then but...anyways have you traveled to Europe before? How do you go about looking for "work for a day and get a meal" places? That sounds very intriguing and awesome! It is all about the experience and that is what I want to get out of it for sure!

Trip | Europe in July
Travel Forum 3 months ago

TheJcor Hey Anne! Good to meet you...in writing anyway, haha. When are you going to be traveling? This will be my first time in any of the European countries, so needless to say, I'm really stoked for the trip.

I found a few sites courtesy of that wonderful timewaster, StumbleUpon, where hosts and those looking to be hosted can throw a post up. I've been looking around workaway.info in particular, there's a ton of stuff on there all of the world. I was planning on using this site to make a few jumps around on the way to Prague, hopefully find a barteding gig for a night or two, or even picking olives or painting a fence haha.

Are you going to be in the area (super broad, i know) when we are?

3 months ago

Anne Well, I plan on starting in Ireland, then taking a ferry to the UK then working my way over and down if that makes sense to Amsterdam, Germany, Paris, France, Switzerland, Austria, Italy and then end up in Greece, then take a flight back to the US. I don't think i'll be traveling to Prague, everywhere around there ha ha of course. Will you be traveling to anywhere I am going? Picking olives sounds fun.

3 months ago

Anne Oh and I will be traveling probably later part of June through July.

3 months ago

TheJcor It sounds like we'l cross right in the middle. Il be in Italy the end of June to the first week of july, then headed north. Ive got 2 weeks from the 5th of July to get to Prague to meet some buddies so anywhere in between then is an adventure. Sounds like Switzerland or Eastern Germany is goigng to be the closest we get...I wouldnt be in the Netherlands/Berlin area until after I meet up with my friends, on the way to Tomorrowland.

3 months ago

Anne well, let's keep in touch and if we cross then we cross. I am just winging it on a day to day basis, I just know a template of where I want to go so...

TheJcor Hey Anne, any updates on your end? I'l officially be headed out of Florence on July 4th/5th, northward

2 months ago

Anne Hey! Not really affirmative plans yet. Prob still leaving the end of June and start in Dublin Ireland. R u starting in Florence?

2 months ago

TheJcor Yes! Florence on the 5th of July, then not too sure where. I was entertaining the idea of maybe going to Greece and headed north from there to Prague, but im still not too sure.

2 months ago

Anne well...I guess that is the whole point right? I know the places I want to go but that's about it. Everything else is just winging it when i get there. Let me know if you make some more concrete plans on places you want to go. I am not going to Prague that I know of yet but who knows it could happen...

2 months ago

Anne By the way I still really want to pick olives...you should let me know if you're going to do this and where..that would be a cool experience.

Anne Hey got my tickets!!! I will be flying out on the 20th of June and will be in Ireland on the 21st!! How are your plans coming along?

4 weeks ago

TheJcor Hey Anne! Sorry it took so long to get back. I have also got my tickets... I will be all over Italy from the 21st of June to the 3rd or so, when I will be in Florance. From there, I want to do a day or two in Venice, then rail back to Milan/Genoa and then go through Switzerland and Austria on the way to the Czech Republic and Prague for the 19th of July. Seriously still dont know what Im going to do in between those dates haha. anything and everything I guess!

Natalia Guys, are you planning to be in Italy around June 01-16? All I've got at the moment are return tickets to Florence and am up for whatever comes my way! I'm 32 and that would be my first time in Italy. I could definitely do with some company :)

4 weeks ago

Anne I am totally winging it too! I am 27 and pretty laid back as well. I plan on starting in Dublin Ireland first then taking a ferry to the UK, I have places I want to go but not much after that. I am going to Eurrail it as well as well as hostel it.

DaveJAFA if you're on facebook, ill add you so we can keep in touch. I have to go to switzerland because out of everyone i ask that is one of the three countries that is always spoken about :D (thailand and czech republic are the others). what date are you flying in?

3 months ago

Daniel Everett yeah i'm on facebook although my profile is hidden (med school interviews coming up and i dont want any incriminating evidence lol) whats ur name on facebook? really? i hear switzerland is great in the winter, not so much in the summer...plus its really expensive lol but if ur gonna go anyway, might as well go together then head to spain...flying to berlin on june 5th, few days there than prague

3 months ago

DaveJAFA haha yeah, facebook can bring anyone undone if the wrong people see it ;) i think i might be hidden but look for 'davidsun martinaki'. ill probably be getting there earlier than you, was thinking the start to mid may but i want to go to amsterdam anyway.

3 months ago

Anne I am planning a trip to Europe as well and have been looking for people to go with or get in contact with. This would be my first backpacking experience and thought about doing it solo as well and just meeting people along the way because after all it is part of the overall experience. But I am going to go only for maybe 2-3 weeks in the middle of June to beginning of July. I am a 27 year old teacher and have the summers off so I am taking advantage while I can.
