hey guys/ladies...
Ive done a few trips before, usually about 2-3 months at a time, but this summer I cant find anyone to got with me. Im thinking about maybe going to work at the Pink Palace, cause they will hire over the net and they offer a 'commitment' (aka, hopefully wont kick me out without warning) for at least 2 or 3 months. Ive never backapacked Europe alone before, and I've never worked while doing so. Anyone with a bit more experience give me some feed back or suggestions. I've been to the palace before and I know what its like...a bit crazy for a long ammount of time , but I think on the whole it will be a fun way to spend a couple months. Im sure they pay absolute dog shit, but maybe with nothing to spend it on (assuming they give me most things i need) and the 1500$ or so I can afford to take with me I will be a ble to hook up with some of the other travellers working there and maybe go for a month of hosteling before I have to come back to school.

Anyone know anything about what its like working there, or if its a good idea to accept a long term commitment to that one place? I just dont have the $ to spare to just pack up and go, hoping to find jobs to hold me through. I need something concrete lined up so that I know I'll be able to stay for a little while without my finances running dry. I really want to get the fuck out of my university routine for a substantial ammount of time - more than a few weeks - but Im not sure if this is the way to do it!

Any advice, pleeeaase!!!
