*With a Eurail pass, there's a tip that saves money and time. Take overnight trains between cities.* Adapt to the movement and your lodging is free. The time saving comes from leaving one city in the evening and starting to see the next the following morning. No days wasted traveling. Also, beds in hostels are more likely to be available if you drop by early in the morning.

Half the fun of travelling by train is viewing the scenery. You can't do that if you're asleep.

You rock! Thanks for taking the time to make this video :)

Great video, cheers for sharing your travels and the hot tips!

Brilliant video man, nicely elaborated everything.

Extremely useful itinerary for my trip coming up. Thank you!

Very nice video. I've done a trip like this a couple of times (though only a month at a time). In a few years I'll be retired and hope to do it again. Seemingly illogical itineraries are part of the fun!

Keep up the good work. Really nice video. Thank you!

Great video man! Helped me a lot!

Awesome! Thank you for sharing.

Thank you, this was a great video!

Thanks man!

Amazing video. On point

Thanks for this!

Great video mate! I am also planning on backpacking Europe solo for 3 months starting in August! I was wandering if you could do a video on what you packed for your trip, things you advice taking/not taking. Cheers!

Sounds like a perfect trip.

I’m gonna start a 2-3 month backpacking trip in January and I’m gonna start in Portugal cause I had family there, then I’ll head to Spain where I also have family. I will ultimately end my trip in England because I have so much family there

Cool man, I'm about to do a 3 mth solo backpack in May! Might follow a similiar path as you did, cheers for the advice.

Looking at your travel map I can see the value of planning an itinerary ahead of time so that you can make the best use of time and money. I live in London and travelled solo to most of these cities. Research and planning is the key. There's so much you could have done in Barcelona in itself. It took me 2 days to plan what I want to see and do, book accommodation plan my travel locally and pre-book the entry tickets where I wanted to go. Because of pre-planning I could see a lots of things and see what Barcelona has to offer.

Wow. Nice experience. Did you bring a big luggage or were you backpacking?

Great video Ty! How far in advance did u book ur hostel? Did u always do hostels? Or do Airbnb or hotels? On avg how many days in each city? Thank you!

I'm planning 3-4 weeks in July-August. I would like to go into it without prebooking any accomodation prior to the trip, maybe a day or two before when I've gotten on the move. I would just need a decent place to sleep. Is it doable or too naive? And when travelling with a larger backpack, where do you keep it all day? Ideally I would move around with a daypack.

I would love to travel to Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, the Netherlands, the UK, Belgium, Ireland. ^^ I know, many countries haha.

YOU WENT ON THE SOUND OF MUSIC SING ALONG BIKE TOUR IN SALZBURG! I JUST KNOW IT.

What site did you use to draw your itinerary on the map?

So, in hindsight, how would you organise your trip, if you have a DMC-12?

Wow... I spend a month in may 2019, start in London, then Hamburg, Berlin, Dresden, Praha, Barcelona, Narbonne, Carcassone, Porto and back to London all in 25 days. When we travel so much like this we have no much time to enjoy so much. Next trip I will spend more days in less cities. Quantity isnot quality.

👍🏾

How much money did your trip cost bro ? I want to do the exact same thing. Cheers

Hey man, how much did it roughly cost for the 3 mouths?

I want to go for about 3 months but I don't know how many places is too many to go to (also I haven't travelled much before)

What was the name of the Red Light district in Frankfurt so I know to avoid that place, and were the prices economical?

Hey man! Great video, just wanted to ask, was it an easy journey to get from Zurich to Lauterbrunnen ?? I’m hoping to go to Lauterbrunnen instead of Zurich but also want to go to Italy after :)

Yes it's very easy to get from Zurich to Lauterbrunnen. it takes 2 and half hours with 3 trains. Intercity train from Zurich to Bern. Then another intercity train to Interlaken. Then a short regio train to Lauterbrunnen

Is there a direct train between La Spezia amd Barcelona?

Whats your next destination after berlin? This guy: yes

Do you recommend to stay in those countries during which season? Particular month in the year? I am trying to organize my trip but I am not quite sure where/when to go in Europe.

best option is usually the spring/summer or summer/autumn shoulder seasons. lower accommodation costs. fewer crowds. still nice weather. :)

Hey Bryn, thanks for watching. I don't remember the exact amount I had saved, but I know it ended up being more than I needed. You can check out my expense guide here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/oJp8sbdwYqvMopM.html. Good luck on your trip!

I am visiting Switzerland and France this Summer and I'll have a backpack and a carry-on with me, and I wanted tips on how to deal with that. Did you have lockers to tore your belongings? or at the place you were staying? how is that experience?

@CollinAbel

2 жыл бұрын

If you're staying at hostels, most of them have lockers you can keep your bags in. I recommend bringing a padlock, though, as they don't always provide them. If they don't have lockers, sometimes reception can keep your bags for you behind the counter or in a separate room while you're out for the day. Good luck with your trip!

If I accidentally book my hotel in the red light district, I’m arriving often 😂

How'd you find the volunteer gig and work in Amsterdam?

Did you find it hard to find hostel bookings by not booking in advance? I am planning my 3 month trip this year in 2023 but am thinking I need to book all my hostels in advance to not be stranded (will be doing june july august, all busy season)
