Hi! Sounds like you're about to do something that I just finished doing! Amazing! I just got back from 3 months backpacking around Europe, and I did it all on Busabout. It's a hop on/hop off bus network that's just for backpackers. I bought a pass to travel on all 3 loops, and it got me all the way from San Sebastian, to Berlin, to Venice, Rome, Nice, Madrid, Paris and sooo many places in between. You should check out their website: I think its www.busabout.comIt's really handy because the buses go around the loops every second day, so you get off in a city, and decide when you want to jump back on. And it's really flexible - you can change your dates as many times as you like. It's not like a normal tour - its not like you have to do everything in a big group if you don't want to. You can even stay wherever you like. I know I sound like a walking advertisement, but I honestly loved it and would recommend it to anyone.

Hi everyone!
Just thought I'd tell you all about the wicked trip I just did around Europe! I just got back from backpacking around Europe for the past 3 months, and it was absolutely amazing! I started in San Sebastian and went right up to Amsterdam, Berlin, then down through the Czech Republic, then as far South as Rome, then back up to Nice and Madrid. It was the best thing I have ever done.
I'm not sure if you've heard about it, but I did it all on Busabout. It's an amazing tour company that's not like your normal Contiki tour. I got a bus pass that I used to hop on and hop off the network, and I could change my travel dates as many times as I liked. Which was great, because I thought I'd only want to stay in Cesky krumlov for a couple of days but ended up staying for almost a week! And I met so many great people along the way. I had a blast!
Anyway, just got home and I can barely wait for my next trip. I'm thinking Eastern Europe this time. Anyone thinking of going early next year? Any advice from anyone who has already been? Eastern Trekker have some pretty cool tours that I'm looking at. Any advice would be awesome!
