Budget Backpacking Europe Quest
This will be the home of my Budget Backpacking Quest to Europe in 2008 since it’s easier to browse than the categories. Basically, Budget Globetrotting will be providing a glimpse into my preparations and planning for my trip in May of 2008. Below are the posts in the series in a chronological order.
1 - The Rough Guide to my Backpacking Quest - I reveal my plans to travel through Europe in 2008. The post includes information about how I will finance my backpacking trip and a rough calendar including deadlines that I must meet while planning the trip and raising money.
2 - How to Travel Within Europe while Backpacking - This post discusses the different options that are available for backpackers to travel within Europe. An overview of European budget airlines, the rail system, and bus tours. **Includes prices**
3 - Creating Europe Backpacking Itineraries
UPDATE!!!
I had so much potential and so much research invested in this trip it was disgusting. However, I quickly realized my financial situation would not allow for such a trip, or atleast I didn’t plan well enough to make it happen. But I learned a lot about planning what it takes to make things happen and I’m moving on.
I have some other trips in the works that can be read about on my about me page. I’m about 70% confident that those trips will actually happen.
In the mean time, read my blog and stay tuned for updates. I’m going to try to figure out why a high profile travel company or newspaper would not want to sponsor 100% of my trip abroad. I mean, really?
