Backpacking Europe is great fun, but planning everything out can also be a bit nerve-wracking.
This booklet is a collection of articles that bring together five years experience of full-time travel, focussed on backpacking or independent travel in Europe. (Backpacking as in “independent travel”, not backpacking like hiking.)
It is not intended to be a comprehensive guide to the cities of Europe, nor is it meant to tell you how to pack your socks or find a street map. Rather, it focuses on tactics to make the most expensive parts of your trip — the transport — cheaper, which is why almost half the booklet is given over to a discussion of public transport in Britain and also to Eurail Passes for use on the continent.
A chapter is given to the best cities to visit in Europe, but — although we make mention of London, Amsterday and Paris — we have attempted to bring to light some others which don’t get as much of a spotlight. Cities which backpackers will love.
We also spend a little time examining the need for paperwork, especially the expensive and somewhat mystic art of finding good travel insurance before you leave home.
Although short — it comes in at just over 5,000 words — it’s full of links to other resources to help you with booking tickets, finding accommodation, and even packing your socks.
Two specially chosen podcasts from the Indie Travel Podcast are included, along with a complementary copy of Travel the world full time: how to live like us.
And for just US$0.99 – yes, that’s ninety-nine cents – it’s a rather convenient package to pick up.
