Hi Guys,

I know probably thousands of people as this on a regular basis just looking for some info and ideas.

I've been wanting to travel since I can remember now 26 and in a position where I currently have no job (gave up my own business when spilt with boyfriend, no long term accommodation due to us splitting up. I am now in a blessing of a situation that all these things have happend together and I feel the time is now to go travelling I could hold back a little longer and get some more money but I am scared of falling back into old ways of becoming comrfortable.

So here is the scoop

I have £5,000 and as much time as I can afford, I know going now just before winter isn't ideal but I also like the idea of it not being as busy but still with solo travellers like myself.
I have no time to do much planning and wish to take in culture, meeting new people, maybe finish off with some work to fund the trip longer.

My trouble is I am overwhelmed with how much planning some people do.... I basically wanna pick a city, go there get the feel for it and see where it takes me.

I have family in Hamburg and my main countires of choice to visit on this trip are Holland, Germany (take alot in such as Munich to Hamburg and round again!) Belguim (Bruges), Czech, Poland, Austria.

Any and I mean any info/ideas are welcome

Kathryn

Hello, Kathryn
You've posted this on the UNITED STATES board. I suggest you repost in the EUROPE board since that is your focus

oh no,

how do i do that? x

It looks like you did a new post in the Europe board already, In the future you can tag your posts with more than one country or just leave it as Europe.

If you read this - I always suggest doing a ton of reserch/googling ahead of time - especially for availability as to where you might travel - to get a feel for what it might cost, or how hard it might be to find a place.

Then - you are much better prepared to wing it a bit if you so choose, which I prefer to do much of the time.
