Default Wonders where to party...

Hey guys, stumbled onto this site and think it's great! I'm wanted to take a little trip to Europe before I go back into the career world...

places of interest: Germany, Netherlands and The Swiss Alps...
(eventually I would love to see all of the great places in Europe)

Not really sure where to start and like most people I'm looking to keep the budget tight but wanna have a great experience and meet tons of people. I'll prob be traveling alone but that doesn't bother me!

Welcome to Tpunk!!! Northern EU is gonna be a bit more expensive if your on a really tight budget, but if you play it right, its not too bad. I can give you a ton of info in the Netherlands, feel free to PM. Flying out of Dallas, you should be able to get a pretty cheap fair to Schiphol (Amsterdam)... You just really got take your time and watch the fairs over 5-6 weeks. When are you thinking about heading out?

Glad you could join us Kameron.

What kind of partying do you like to do?

I have found that the cheapest tickets in Texas to Schiphol are out of Houston.

If money is tight think seriously about Eastern Europe, they have everything the west has at a half the price. Including plenty of skiing. We're all one big European Union now so it's no harder to get to and just as safe as any other part of Europe.

Welcome to the boards. I'd say any big city would be good for partying, but I guess it depends on your budget. Save money by drinking at the hostels first, and like MeTurk mentioned, Eastern Europe is cheaper for the most part.
