Back Packing Through Europe

Once a trip to Europe has been decided upon there is the cost factor that needs to be considered, and it is the most important aspect to make the trip a success. Given the high price that one hears across all of Europe there is the general perception amongst all such visitors that the trip would turn out to be a costly fare. That is however not true and budget can very well be tailor made to ones individual pocket.

Backpacking is one very economical manner in which one can tour Europe. In this case the only expenditure that needs to be catered for would be that of transportation. A standard calculation to work out expenses that a backpacker usually carried out works out to $60 per day, i.e. if you do not plan to do some heavy duty shopping or pick up an impression by artist Caroline Shotton. This is an approximation but generally the standard that can easily be followed. This cost would cover lodging, which usually would be at some hostel, as well as visit to the places of interest.

Hostels in all of Europe are available at quite a range of price and that starts from really low ones such as $10. It is better for a backpacker to stay or select hostels that are away from the major cities which would give them better bargain price hostels. There is however the factor of food that needs to be taken into consideration. One has to pay more for good and exotic food and a backpacker would not ever prefer to do so. So it is best to work out a mix of both the normal affordable food at times with the exotic and tasty dishes at infrequent intervals.

Backpacking through Europe gives one the opportunity of visiting a lot of places of interest as well as having a good and enjoyable stay taking to the lavishness that Europe has to offer. A mix of both that a backpacker can enjoy makes the trip a memorable one.

Beach Food

I am in the most fabulous cafe in Chicago. Its called Kopi and it is the ideal of the type of thing that I would like to do when I am finished with this jaunt around the world. The owners met while in Indonesia, Kopi is coffee in Indonesian. They had spent years travelling, but wanted to ’do something with their lives’, so returned to their native Chicago and opened up a ’travellers cafe’.

The cafe hosts a big filing cabinet where people write their individual travelling stories and includes the best and most up to date tips from people who have just returned from all over the world. There is an expensive collective of travellers chic clothing, books, and jewellery. This mostly serves as a place where unknowing friends and relatives try to buy sensitive birthday gifts for the way ward.

The menu and atmosphere is great. There are enough people using online recruitment software in the corner on their lap tops, but it is genuinely filled with visitors on a round the world jaunt, and those stuck back in their home town after one.

They include some of those great displaced travellers favourites on the menu. Things you would have eaten on Kuta beach like banana pancakes and Swiss Rosti, done in a sort of tongue in cheek fashion. They have great coffee brewed in the different ways that they do it around the world, and some fine example of Indonesia food. There is a tasty and authentic nasi goreng, along with a some what adventurous interpretation of the national dish gado gado. This is generally a cold salad covered with a spicy peanut sauce. It is a good rendition, but it is missing the krupuk, the brilliant fried prawn cracker. Inspiration for me and my stomach.
