I have next week off, my plans fell through, flights seem reasonable, I've never been, and...??? Would this work?
I ask this question because I've never been to Europe, and I'm checking to make sure there's nothing important I'm missing, like, the deadly fogs roll in in May, or something.
My plan, if you can call it that, is to grab a reasonable flight to London (those looked cheapest, but Amsterdam and Paris were also reasonable) then use that as a jumping off point and take the trains around. For accommodations I'd be fine staying in hostels, I really don't need anything fancy.
Does this seem at all reasonable or doable? Is there something better I could do?
I'm an experienced solo domestic traveler, but never done anything international. (I do have a passport, yes.) Lady in her 30s. Would be by myself.
Also, where should I go? I live in NYC so not super impressed by big cities or art. Love nature and outdoor activities, though I know Europe may not be the best for that. I was thinking Western Europe instead of Eastern because it seems easier to pull off on the fly. Thanks! |
