Need advice for our backpacking trip through Europe.

[abentwookie]

My advice is to please do everyone a favor and actually bathe. In my travels, every post-college European backpacker smells to high heaven.

Sounds like my trips to San Diego Comic Con every year.I always get stuck in line behind someone who hasn't bathed in three weeks. Don't worry, we both bath daily.

Would hostels be an option for you? There is a website called, I think, Hostelworld that lists different hostels and their reviews.

Southeast Asia is supposed to be inexpensive.

Please start a blog so that those of us who want to travel can get some ideas from your experiences.

We already plan to do a blog and video updates as much as possible. Yeah, we will probably stay in some hostels in several of the countries to cut expenses a bit.

Make sure you bring a bee keeper suit



in case you wind up in one of those muslim no-go zones that FOX is always yammering on about.

Considering that I am allergic to bee stings, that would probably be a good idea for me in general.

There is one specific problem we have encountered when researching this trip. The U.K. only seems to allow you to stay for 90 days before you have to wait 180 days to come back.

(emphasis is mine)

Did you mean E.U? Because I don't think the rest of Europe would give a crap about a U.K. rule like that.

lol Yes, I meant to say E.U. I don't get it. I could understand having a 90 day rule for individual countries but not the E.U. as a whole. That makes touring Europe extremely difficult unless you want to rush through it.
