Hi!
"Europe...I've been to so many holidays there" can you be more specific, western europe is still a big place? I suppose you don't want to repeat to much... Is it in summer that you want to travel? Or you can do it after mid September? As you know coastal destinations are crowded and expensive in the summer...
I usually travel with the flight tickets booked out and in, 1 or 2 nights booked on arrival and sometimes on departure. In general in europe I find it very easy to go from one side to the other and arrange accommodation locally, most of the times I use the local tourist offices to collect the infos about hotel/B&B/hostel, etc and as the day goes by I do reservations by phone or internet depending where I am. Do you know www.hihostels.com? Before leaving I do a search of what's interesting and then compare it locally and ask some tips.
The difference is that usually we are at least 2 women, but even so there are certain destinations that I didn't do this way for the same exact reasons that you are afraid I've buyed a travel agency package (Russia and Jordan).
Hi, thanks for your response and advice
As for holidays where I have been... I've pretty much done all of Spain and Portugal, so am not too interested about repeating that. I've also done a lot of France and Italy, as well as a lot of the spanish and greek islands. I think I'd like to focus on the Northern and Eastern parts of Europe but as I haven't had a chance to properly sit down and look at destinations then I can't name specific places yet.
I was planning on leaving mid-July. I know this will make it more expensive and crowded, but I'd much rather do it while it's nice and sunny and in summer
I've done Iceland (before the volcano...) it was easy to find accommodations, but the distances between each place are long. In the summer they convert winter students accommodations into a sort of hostels. Also done north Finland and north of Norway (the objective was Cape North) also long distances between each place. The cheapest one was Finland, and also the same conversion of winter students accommodations into a sort of hostel. Why not start in Helsinki you'll even have easy access to countries like Latvia by ferry.
