I'm last minute looking to travel alone, possibly leaving next week at some point if anyone's keen? I have no real idea of where yet - only really want to see Italy and everywhere else is open to my cultural eyes! Panicking about being so unorganised and alone so if anybody's in the same position it would be great to hear!

I went with campleaders and you're not guaranteed a placement. like 99.3% get placed and I was in that .7%..... mega annoying! But at least I can see Europe and look forward to America next year!

Last year I decided to go to Europe and bought my plane ticket and left all in 3 days! You can do it :smile: If you want to work, I recommend trying out being an au pair! ( aupair-world.net ) You get paid to live in a foreign country! I had some great experiences, it's just important to find a family you are compatible with. I was unorganized too, but I turned out fine. I stayed with family a lot, and in a hostel in Vienna at one point! That was the best part of my trip, but it was a bit risky and I think I was just lucky - I wasn't very smart and would go around alone in the strange city - so just make sure you are cautious about it.

Cool I'm hoping to head to berlin/Amsterdam for 4/5 days around the 11th if Germany or holland get into the World Cup final.


currently in Milan
Going to Amsterdam on my own a week on Tuesday (16/06) then have no idea what to do after that...starting to think I should plan this better!

Anyone have any ideas on where I should go after that? Or is anyone around in Amsterdam from the 16th to the 19th?
I'm planning on the Netherlands and Belgium so not your part of the country and not interrailing, the pass I need would be overpriced for the time I'm going. If I was going for longer it might be good value. I'll still use mostly trains and one coach(other than the ones I'm using to get to and from the continent. If the Netherlands make it to the final that would be awesome, I should be in Netherlands then and possibly Amsterdam.

Utrecht? Rotterdam? Eindhoven? I haven't been to any but I'm planning on Utrecht and Rotterdam myself. Close to Amsterdam and fairly cheap train fares, if you do it the right way. Amsterdam <-> Utrecht <-> Rotterdam. For some reason Amsterdam to Rotterdam seems quite expensive. You could always ask at the hostel when you get there, I'm planning to do the same even if I already have a rough plan.
