by globetrott

Gasoline-prices vary a lot inside of Europe.And isn't it funny that Great Britain (who have their own oil from North Sea ) and Netherlands ( with the most important oil-refineries in Europe ) - have the highest rates for Gasoline ?What you should also take into consideration is :Austria: has highway-toll, at least around 7 euros per 10 daysGermany, Belgium, Danmark, Netherlands: no highway-toll at allFrance & Italy: highway-toll per KM that you driveCzech. Republic, Slowenia, Slowakia and Hungary: highwaytoll as well For your orientation:Click here for Fuel-prices in EuropeYou will see a list of countries and first they will list the prices in the local currencies on the left columns and finally in the columns on the very right you will find all prices in euros, so its easy to compare them !Russia,Moldavia and Ukraine have the cheapest DieselNorway, Denmark & Sweden the most...

how to save money for a trip

by rkearns

good point katie. europe isn't exactly "the beach" themed location the op is asking about. if i were you, i would travel to a place that is cheap to travel within. to save money on accommodations, try couchsurfing.com or stay at hostels. some hostels will let you stay for free if you work there. i would also go online and see some travel deals (not packages, just flights) then adjust where you want to go based on the cost of the flight. be flexible with your dates and you will get the best rates. priceline.com is a great way to save cash on the flight too. plan in advance, purchase the ticket, then spend 3-5 months saving money. cut down on things you don't need that you pay for such as take out and coffee. it's amazing how much that cuts into your budget. definitely a good idea, as stated above to sell some of your stuff. ebay, craigslist, yard sale, etc. hope that helps!

Overland travel

by sheherezad

London is a great gateway for overland travel to all of Europe/North Africa! Do check if your age group qualifies you for overland travel by companies like Contiki or Topdeck (and the likes of them)? The advantage is that you'll never be alone and (should) have great company! ;-)I travelled all of Scandinavia many years ago on Topdeck (and had a blast, despite the chunder chart!) and it was still alive at the last check, recently? ;-) Then there is Trek Europa (I did Trek America's 'Westerner' many years ago).Then there's Trailfinders etc etc and Eurailpass is another option? If you want to do it alone but meet people on the way?
