I'd much rather go through Europe during the early summer months. While I'm sure it'd be fun either way, I'd much rather go in the summer to enjoy the outdoors and great weather, especially in places like Spain and Portugal. Personally I'd prefer to bask in the sun outdoors whether at a sidewalk cafe or beach (or Munich beer garden for that matter), but if you're fine with the winter and cold, do it.

I've saved almost 4000 USD think that should be enough considering the contacts i've made in the last year. I've got few places to stay and lots of countries to visit (France, Portugal, Germany, Spain, Holland, Italy, UK and Switzerland). Nevertheless, i've just had a chat with a friend who strongly recommended to adjourn my trip till the summer as winter time is a big NO apparently during that period. Any thoughts?!! Thx Amen. i'm few months aways from my long awaited trip to Europe, i'm heanding out in December and coming back until i run out of cash.

This website has been helpful and I just wanted to say thanks! Just thinking about backpacking through Europe can be overwhelming! Good luck.

I am very interested in the idea of finding sponsors. I have no idea how to do this...if you don't mind, who did you contact and how did you ask them for sponsorship? Thank you very much.

I was there all of august and september. Saved a bit of money on my airline ticket, and you are not fighting the crowds that are there in full effect during the spring and summer months. I have been back to Europe twice since then. You have any questions feel free to e-mail me. When I went to Europe in 2004, I flew towards the end of the summer.
