I have been looking at various goals that are similar to this. I am from America and I am someone who deeply wants to explore the various cultures within europe. I am looking to make connections because I really want to back pack throughout europe. if you have any tips at all or any kind of help that coinside with my future goal, please please get in touch!!! I might start this on jan. 14 with the bare essentials..30 pounds if I am lucky..few articles of clothing, music, a little money and my wits! do you know friendly folks in europe?? well my gf is from france but I have not told her of my desire, truth be told I am a little scared to shock her!

thats amazing. im off on this adventure in the spring, only with no time limitations.
if you dont mind- how much/wehre did you fly out of/into? how much did you bring? did you camp?
thanks
