i keep seeing all these postings saying to start in or around march...i was planning to go in july and stay for the year....is this a bad idea
if not, where should i start
thanks guys
The main issue with July will be higher ticket costs. You can find some that aren't completely outrageous about 4-5 months in advance. Another issue people have with Europe in the summer is that it's very touristy. By going in March, you still get somewhat decent weather (really depending though!), less crowds and cheaper costs. If you're going ot be there for a year anyway, all that matters is the cost of the plane to get there. June 1st to August 31st is the most expensive time to fly there. You can still get fairly decent prices up to mid June though.

Have some general questions such as whether or not to get a rail pass or how much money you'll need? Visit here!
First time travelers/travelers with a lot of questions - this forum is for you![b]
What are you planning to do? if you're working, the biggest issue would be lack of jobs, depending on where you are going. Backpackerboard.co.nz is good for this tho, and if you're staying at base, which i think is in Auckland, Wellington (my home ) and christchurch , they're really helpful. New Zealand is pretty cheap any time, so just come on down

I'm so dumb... and here I thought I was being efficient by just going to "new posts."
