Good preparation makes Good Travel
One of the best things in one's twenties is going backpacking in Europe. In Korea, as people gain more ages, it is harder to go backpacking through Europe because they have jobs and lots of things in their jobs or social relations. Therefore, university students are the most suitable to go backpacking in Europe with not much burden. Once they decide to go backpacking, mostly they don't know what to do for preparation. There are some tips for planning the backpacking trip to Europe.
Firstly, decide how long you want to stay in Europe and which nations you like to look around. If you are student, you can make time during vacations and leave of absence. Mostly students decide to stay for 2 weeks and 4 weeks. And they want to go east Europe but you have to make sure which country you really want to look around and learn about. Then, make clear when you depart and return. In addition to this, decide nations to go into and out. After you decide the period of travel and nations to go, hurry to make reservation for air ticket. The sooner you make reservation, the more benefit you can have. The price of air ticket is cheaper for early reservation.
Secondly, plan the route of traveling and buy Eurail ticket. Before you plan the route, consider the nations you will arrive at and return from. It would be much easy to make plan if you put those two nations as base point. While you are traveling, it will be possible to change the detail schedule but route will not be changed except for special occasions. Therefore, plan the big outline of route, and then detail schedule. A Eurail pass ticket is for traveling the 23 nations in Europe without any entry procedure during specific period. You can buy the ticket through group purchase and travel agency with discount. You need to know that Eurail pass has free boarding system. That means you don't have designated seat.
Finally, decide which kind of accommodations you will stay in and plan the schedule in detail. Generally there are three types of accommodations. The first one is B&B for Koreans. If you stay in there, you will meet many Koreans and share the information about traveling. The second one is hotels. Mostly hotels are very expensive and if they are not five-star hotel, the facilities are not very good so hotels are not recommendable. The last one is a youth-hostel. You can meet many friends from all over the world at there. Consider these three accommodations and decide which one fit on you.
In your twenties, you can make unforgettable experience by yourself or with friends. Without any preparation, you will cost a lot for that experience. However, you will enjoy the backpacking with cheap cost if you prepare the trip well. You will even feel a sense of accomplishment while making plans and fulfilling them. Be courageous and challenge it!
