| Welcome!! Welcome to The Traveler’s Pub, an online resource for adventure travelers and backpackers of all types. Our goal is to help make planning and embarking on a backpacking through Europe trip or elsewhere as easy and as effective as possible. Every year thousands of people of all ages set out to backpack through Europe. Each has there own travel style, some set out with absolutely no plans at all, others painstakingly map out every moment of their trip before hand. What ever your travel style is, The Traveler’s Pub wants to help make it go smoothly and your trip to be as enjoyable as possible. The hardest part for many people deciding to backpack through Europe is making the leap of faith and just going. Many have the bad habit of putting it off until next year, then the year after. They wait until they have time or money, but it’s pretty rare to have both. The hardest and first step is making the promise to yourself that you’re going to go this year. That you’ll scrape together just a few grand and you’ll take a month or two off of work and going. But if you’re visiting this site, you probably have a strong interest in traveling. Just do it. Backpacking through Europe will turn out to be more rewarding than you can guess. Everyday you’ll can see things that people only talk about and every night you can meet other backpackers and travelers from all over the world. Life is a lot harder; living out of a backpack, sleeping in a new (crappy) bed in a different youth hostel every night, your feet being so tired, but it will be worth it. I’ve never meet a traveler who didn’t think so. Backpacking across Europe will change nearly anyone regardless of age. You can almost be guaranteed to have stories to tell and memories for a lifetime. Backpacking across Europe can be one of the most broadening and education experiences you’ll ever have. The freedom of jumping from country to country on the drop of a hat, the places you’ll see, and the people you’ll meet are definitely going to outweigh a few grand and a month or two at work. Along the way the possibilities are endless. You can see the magnificence of London and Paris, lay of the beaches of the Mediterranean, enjoy a pint of Guinness in Ireland, whatever. You’ ll get to experience traveling by Eurorail, staying in Youth Hostels, and seeing sites you see on tv and in magazines. So if you’re thinking about taking your first trip, or you’re a veteran backpacking going back to see the many things you just ran out of time to see, go. We hope that the information in these pages will help, maybe entice you to backpack to places to hadn’t thought of, get a good deal on gear, or meet up with fellow minded backpackers. Plan well, be safe, and enjoy.
