Lately I have been thinking of traveling around Europe, I wasn't sure as I didnt really wanna spend 10 grand in 2 months, but I just paid my last car payment off, so therefor I can afford it.

I was thinking of going at the end of the year at like december, but thats when winter is for europe and that would suck balls, So starting from today, Im gonna try and save to leave at the end of July or August.

I can save about 500 a week pretty easy so i should have about 5k or so, and the rest Im gonna put it on a credit card which is interest free for the first year which ofcourse I'm gonna pay it back in that time.

So anyway I'm planning on going on a 25 day Contiki tour which covers, london, spain, germany, monico, italy and all those surrounding countries, and when that tour is over I will be doing it by myself staying in hostels in what not.

I will be going on my own as no one else has any fucking money and I've been told that going by yourself is still good as, so does anyone know any tips or info about doing this? planning and what not!
 
Don't take tours, they are annoying.
Last year I went with my family, no tours, we were relaxed. But also another family that we are friends of went too, with a tour, they said they were annoyed. They had to be running and they could only stay in each city like 2 hours. They also had to be running and getting things ready very quick or else they wouldn't get the bus.
In my case and my family we didn't have that. We stayed about 3-6 days in each city. We flew from one city to another with Ryan Air (FUCK).

So my recommendation, don't take a tour.
Just go to one city to another with Ryan Air, their planes are amazingly horrible, but their prices are very cheap. Max would be like 50 EUR for a ticket from London to Berlin <- and that would be expensive.
 
From what I heard contiki tours are the best time of your life, and loadssss of chicks lol
 
Tours are only for people that do not know anything about the place they're visiting. The pros: planned destinations, hotels, and no argument about where to go. The cons are that: you're timed at where you stay, and you might be grouped with people you dislike.

Well ofcourse thats true, i will be doing half contiki and half on my own.
 
Just don't come to "Chelmsford" it's a piece of shit.
 
Oh boy, if I had the time I would tell you like an outline of what to do and visit, I did it in Summer (The Best time) as winters are harsh in some of those countries and by harsh I mean REALLY harsh.

If you are visiting Germany, I would recommend stopping in Austria and a few other countries as most of the ones you said are alright.
 
If you'll come to Kosovo I'll do everything for free to you. Including sleeping eating and daily stuff. :)
 
This sounds really fun and I am indeed jelly of you now Famous. Anyways, make sure you hit up Paris at night and go to all the clubs. I heard French people know how to party. That's all I can recommend for you. Enjoy it!

I'm not going to lie; That sounds pretty badass; I wish I were in your situation. I would love to travel!
 
Wow, $10k in two months? I wish I had that much money to use freely.

If you're unorganized you should just take the tour seeing as doing things on your own requires a ton of pre-planning. You'd probably meet a ton of nice looking ladies on your trip too who are on the same tour ;)

But, if you're a god at managing shit on your own then go for the solo experience.

10k yes, atleast, maybe even 15k, it's alot of money and is why I didn't want to go, but people say its worth every cent, and it's the oppurtunity of a life time, I may not get to go again as when Im older i will have a house and family to pay for.

I will be doing a contiki tour for the first month and for the next I will do it on on my own, and yeah I've heard from people experiences that there are tonnes of chicks
 
Anyone else got any suggestions, websites or anything?
