After a couple false starts, I'm finally definitely going to Europe
For my graduation (next year) I'm getting:
- A plane ticket to Europe
- A 3-month global Eurail pass (doesn't cover Poland, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia)
- $50/day for 90 days
My ideal is to save up enough that I will have a total of $85/day for 97 days, plus transportation for the countries not covered by my railpass. I plan to spend a week in England, then 90 days in the Schengen countries (that's the max allowed, right?) I want to see A LOT, because I want to take advantage of my railpass and I have over three months, but I don't want to burn out, and I have a pretty strict budget. Are there any places I should add/cut days? I left two weeks on the end as a bumper, and I'd be fine spending that all in Greece, or adding it in other places for detours or more chill time.
I know this will probably go out the window in a matter of days and will change a ton before I ever leave, but I'm basically terrified (though excited) to be in Europe on my own for so long, and I want to have a solid and thoroughly researched plan I can fall back on, even if I don't end up sticking to it.
