I was recently asked this question and I thought of sharing it here in my blog…
Backpacking: What is the best advice you can share about backpacking through Europe?
- I would use the train system in Europe. You can get passes that can take you though several countries. It is efficient and inexpensive for as much as it allows you to see.
- Bring money and a credit card.
- A copy of any medication prescriptions, eyeglass prescription, doctor’s names and phone # or medical information a hospital or doctor might need if you needed medical attention.
- Have a plan for where you want to go.
- Leave a copy of your itinerary with someone at home and let them know if you are making any changes to it along the way.
- Keep your money in two different places. Make sure it is secure. Check out my free printable packing list for tips at www.boomerandseniortravel.tv
- Spend time getting to know places. Don’t just run from one place to another trying to see everything. Experiencing a place in a little depth will make it more memorable.
