How To Backpack Europe

Good wine, multiple languages, historic buildings, underground parties, and French women. These are the joys of backpacking through Europe. There's nothing like having a few weeks or a few months to kill by Euro-railing it around the land of good bread and cobblestone streets. But all that culture can be pretty pricey. And if you've never backpack traveled before, food and lodging will ad up quicker than you student loans. So you'll want to do a little advance reading first.

About.com (surprisingly) has put together an excellent and fairly comprehensive article / guide with links to pretty much all you need to know to backpack through Europe. They talk about what gear to bring, the best ways to get there and around, setting a budget and choosing destinations. Good stuff. So click here for the full story and the best tips to help you save money and impress French women (or men). I made the last part up. Enjoy your travels!
