Hey everyone, guess what im new here, and thought id be original and ask for some advice. I am wanting to work and travel around europe, i am going to need to work in order to pay my way, i really want to go for a year or longer depending upon how much money i earn on my way around. Can i rely on this to at least help pay my way round or from experience do u recomend that i save up enough money befor i even start? which leads me to my next question of how much money do u really need for this sort of thing, i know it all depends upon how careful u are but as a guidance how much would i need.

The other thing is, i really would like to do this in a motorhome (or even crazier i would like to convert a bus to do it in) however my friends that i was going to go with have all dropped out for one reason or another and i am worried that by not being in hostels i wont meet new peeps, will that be the case i am out going however sometimes a bit shy, this is one of the main reasons i have to go travelling i think!?

So i guess what i am asking is how easy is it to find work, how much money will i need and is it a stupid idea to do it in a motorhome/camper/coach?

any sugestion advice or to tell me im stupid id be grateful

oooo and this site is ace only just came across boards today, disappointed i havent found em sooner.

Thanks Folks

Steve

Hmm, dunno too much in terms of answers for ya, but if you do go the campervan rate, there are hostels out there that'll charge you a lower per-night fee to park there and use their kitchen/shower/common facilities, which is nice.

Welcome aboard!
