When I was 18 years old I wished very much to travel around Europe. However I wasn't able to afford to do so. Therefore I got a well paid job in Finland. I worked as a children's nanny for a family there. Then I traveled on an Inter Rail ticket home. I spent a month traveling to the destinations in Europe that I wanted to see. I went to Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Belgium, Hungary, Austria and France. I stayed in youth hostels and traveled by train.

Right now a group of British people are doing a fifty day trip around Europe. They popped over to Asia and they will be seeing North Africa as well. There adventure is on television. It is called Coach Trip. On my trip all those years ago I traveled alone.

I am 19 years old right now and it is my dream to travel not only around Europe, but around the world! I love hearing about other people's trips because it really inspires me to start saving money so I can do it one day too. I would definitely visit France for at least a week, as I'm learning to speak the language and there is so much I want to see. I'm not sure how I plan on traveling, I would probably go by train like you did.

I would prefer to travel with a friend rather than being alone. I would need emotional support during the voyage. There are several places in Europe that I have not visited yet. I would love to visit Italy (Milan/Rome/Florence/Venice), Austria and France. I think if I had the opportunity I would prefer to travel by plane if I had the money but would consider going on a train to limit my budget.

I'm glad you got to go to all these places. You were very lucky. Yes, I would love to go back to Europe. I toured 6 European Countries in 1973. We went to England, Holland, Germany, France, Switzerland, and Italy. I wouldn't mind seeing these countries again. I wouldn't mind seeing these countries again. We didn't go to Austria, though. I would love to go there. I would probably trvel the way we did back then, by motor coach. We also flew to different countries. Kathy.

I have heard about the Inter Rail many times, but I never bought it as I didn't feel confortable enough to do a long trip to many countries by myself.
I would like to do it someday, though. I have been to many European countries, but not to all of them, and I really want to visit every country that exists, so one day I would love to do so thumbup

I wish also to see some parts of the world especially Europe stay there for a while to enjoy its beauty man made and natures.Yes, I have been to other parts of the globe for free because I use to work on a ship specifically merchant ship which only stays in ports the most is a week.As for me I did not enjoy my stay in each country we dock because we have limited time to explore that is because of our work , as for me I can go sight seeing only after work which is after 5pm so there's no much to look around.It's more enjoyable if you goes out at day time because you can appreciate the beauty of their tourist attraction.I think its more fun and exciting if you go in groups.Today there are lots of promo mostly discounted offer either by plane, cruise or coach trip.Now, I have to save money first before I do.

I'd love to, but at my age and general state of creakiness, I'd rather rent a car. I'd love to see Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, Greece, Turkey, Spain, Portugal and more of the countries that I've already seen.
