I don't have any money saved, qualifications, or foreign language skills... but I plan to go to Europe and work for a year or two. Can someone please help me?

I am flying into Heathrow and need to get to Gatwick - will 6 hours be enough time? If it is, can I also squeeze in a few hours seeing the highlights of London?

How much do we tip the porters at the train stations in Italy? My husband and I and our two daughters will be arriving at Fiumicino and want to take the train into Rome, and we have 9 suitcases, three totes, and two backpacks, plus purses of course.

Is it OK to wear a really big fanny pack in Paris, or will I blend with the locals by wearing a small one?

Is the US Dollar accepted most everywhere in France?

They all really do speak English, right?

And my all-time fave:

Anything to do with gypsies.
