Interrailing tips Spring/Summer 2014?!

Hi guys,

So I'm currently working full time to fund my travelling desires before I go off to university next year... I finish my current placement at the end of March/Early April. I wanted to explore as much as I can using the least amount of money possible and stumbled across this 'interrailing' across Europe idea - have any of you guys actually done this? Tips please! :smile:

I aim to go back home at the end of May latest, so at least I can have the option of taking my Further Maths exams if I can be bothered to :x

I really want to interail in southern or eastern europe in may/June for like 6-8 weeks... Where are you thinking/have you looked at alternatives e.g. sailing or buses. I get travel sick so am a bit worried but it's such a great opportunity and I have soooo many contacts in europe! :smile:

Ooh, I forgot about this post!

So hey guys, I'm planning to leave on 2nd/3rd April for a month, haven't yet planned a route but def will before I leave. Is there anybody out there that would like to join? The more the merrier :')

You sure its not just the nerves ? :tongue: I do admit it is abit intimidating to think of traveling countries with no one you know with you (maybe your not alone) .

I'm not too sure about the interrailing tbh , think I might just travel / volunteer in somewhere like Thailand.

I wanted to do that too, but not enough money T^T I've been working since December to fund these travel plans of mine... fun :biggrin:
