Cool

hey everyone... this is my first post here at travel punk, although i've been reading the boards for a while now.

I'm currently planning a trip to europe -- estimated departure: LATE APRIL to JUNE 2004

Itinerary
Toronto -> Amsterdam, Netherlands
Amsterdam -> Brussels, Belgium or London, England
Brussels or London -> Athens, Greece
Athens -> Ios, Santorini, Myknonos, Corfu (Greek Islands)
Greek Islands -> Rome, Italy
Rome -> Cinque Terre
Cinque Terre -> Monaco
Monaco -> Barcelona, Spain
Barcelona -> Costa Brava or Ibiza
Costa Brava or Ibiza -> San Sabastian
San Sabastian -> Paris, France
Paris -> Amsterdam (again!)
Amsterdam -> Toronto


I'll be staying at hostels, backpacking, and possibly camping along the way. I'm buying a eurail pass and taking the train as much as i can. for some shorter trips i might buy bus/ferry passes. I am also looking into the possibility of staying after my trip in the greek islands and working at a hostel.

any killer places i'm missing?

CIAO,

Casey.

Welcome to Travelpunk!


Don't seem you are missing anything. But one suggestion instead of Costa Brava, I will go to Ibiza. I've been there and its an amazing island. You can party all day if you want or relax in the beach all day if you want. That is just my suggestion.

And welcome to the boards!

cool thanks for the suggestion. i definately want to go to ibiza... from what i've heard it looks like paradise. partying and laying on the beach all day...ahhhh. do you know if the swimming is good there as well?

i think costa brava might be a day trip thing.. my friend recommended it.. said its just outside of barcelona and a good place to kick back and get away from the main tourist spots.

Welcome to the board Yeahyeah B)

The itinerary sounds good, but shouldn´t you end your trip in Greece? Then, when you´re there, hit up the hostels (like the Pink Palace who has a work program) and if you do, indeed get a job, you can stay as long as you want.

Here´s a revised itinerary and might work, if you do decide to not end up in Toronto, but decided to stay in Greece for work-

Toronto -> Amsterdam, Netherlands
Amsterdam -> Brussels, Belgium or London, England
Brussels or London -> Paris, France
Paris -> San Sabastian
San Sabastian -> Barcelona, Spain
Barcelona -> Costa Brava or Ibiza
Costa Brava or Ibiza -> Monaco
Monaco ->Rome, Italy
Rome -> Cinque Terre
Cinque Terre -> Athens, Greece
Athens -> Ios, Santorini, Myknonos, Corfu (Greek Islands)
Greek Islands -> Work at the Pink Palace Their actual website, when it´s working(www.thepinkpalace.com), has "work for us" section.


By the time your trip ends (June 2004), you be in the thick of summer and working at that hostel in particular could be da bomb!

Swimming in Ibiza...No problem
