Companion wanted for european expedition! Dec2009-Jan2010
Hello all,
I will be backpacking through Europe from mid-December to early January. My flight arrives and departs in Amsterdam. I would like to visit Germany, France, Sweden, Denmark and where ever else travel takes me! The eurail offers a 15-day unlimited country or a 10-day 5 country pass, not sure which one I want yet. Hostels are going to be the main accomidation and I would like to try couch surfing (couchsurfing . com )If anyone is going to be in europe around this time let me know
Thanks!
Nicole

So, is your trip about 3 weeks long? Thats about 4 days per country. For the big cities, you'll need at least 2 to 3 days minimum just to get a good feel for them.
How many cities per country do you want to visit?
In any event, I don't think you'll be able to take full advantage of a 15 day unlimited pass, unless you want to go blazing through each city, take a few photos, and moving onto the next in a hurry.

I got the 10 day, 5 contiguous country pass too. Realize that you will still have booking and reservation fees along with any upgrades like a sleeper car. It took the better part of 5 weeks for us to use our passes, but we took the trip at a medium to slow pace. I only think the pass is good if you focus on certain countries or you are a student. We would have saved time and money had we used other forms of transportation. It does have a few upside, like great flexibility.
