Ibn Batota 2K8: Trip Details
In my last post I introduced the blog to my trip to europe. This isn’t a luxurious trip by all means. The point from this trip is to discover europe and learn as much as I could from its people. Anyways, here is more details about the trip:
When is it //
24 May 2008 - 11 July 2008 (Europe)
Where to stay //
I’ll be Couch surfing and staying at hostels.
Couch surfing is new concept in the traveling world, where you stay at people couches for free! Couch surfing allows you to get to know the locals and know more about the country you’re staying at, I’m really excited to meet my hosts.
In hostels you rent a bed in a room. These places are usually full of young adventurous people and it’s easy to make friends with them.
Where in Europe //
Amsterdam, Netherlands (25 May - 28 May)
Brussel, Belgium (28 May - 30 May)
Paris, France (30 May - 2 June)
Madrid, Spain (2 June - 4 June)
Seville, Spain (4 June - 6 June)
Malaga, Spain (6 June - 9 June)
Granada, Spain (9 June - 11 June)
Valencia, Spain (11 June - 13 June)
Barcelona, Spain (13 June - 16 June)
Nice, France ( 16 June - 18 June)
Pisa, Italy (18 June - 20 June)
Rome, Italy (20 June - 24 June)
Florence, Italy (24 June - 26 June)
Venice, Italy (26 June - 28 June)
Milano, Italy (28 June - 30 June)
Luzern, Switzerland (1 July - 4 July)
Munich, Germany (4 July - 7 July)
Strasburg, France (7 July - 9 July)

hmmm, hostels, do you want to be butchered!

are you trying to experiecne the delight of sleeping on ppls couches, or are you intrested in sight-seeing
i don’t think it would affect your adventure that much if you slept in 2 star motels, at least you won’t get raped or something:/
am not against the whole idea, i think it’s a good thing to step out of your comfort zone and do something wild for a change..
but am totally against jeopardizing your life
BTW your handwriting looks scary o_0

Most of the cities you’ve chosen are commerical and filled with tourists, y3ni not the type that you wanna go packbacking to.
I’m surprised you didn’t choose cities like Budapest, Prague, bucharest, Naples, Amalfi, lyon etc.

Purg, Or the opposite ;) .. I’m looking for some flesh =)
Game Over, I think hostels are more comfy than a 2 stars hotel! the whole idea from sleeping at people couches is to observe others life styles and more about their cultures. Anyways, well see what’s going to happen.
Anonymous, To be honest with you I know nothing about europe! So I opened the map and pointed on few cities and decided to go there.. After all its a backpacking trip, plans are subject to change all the time =)
Musaed, thanks =)
laloya, Inshallah ..
