I'd like to travel historical sites in Europe and around the Mediterranean Sea in general.

Who else would find such an exploration to be fascinating?

I completely agree, I've been wanting to visit Europe for a very long time, and probably will when I can find the time and money.

London and Paris I'm most eager about, but I would enjoy visiting all of it.

I'd advise you to travel off the beaten track in Europe, especially if you have limited time, skip the must-sees and explore all the little regions, especially in the Meditterenean area. you'll find the most amazing sites, tastes and people there, I guarantee you.

also, I'd consider doing some hitch-hiking, Europe is not that big and most people will gladly give you a lift and even accomodate you with their regional specialities and stuff, I've done that a lot and it was great, I found Germans, Austrians and Italians to be the most open and hospitable people even though they don't speak much english ;p

one more thing: check out hospitality club or couchsurfing if you want to go lo-budget, there's a lot of people who'll gladly have you over, me including :D

Central Europe is awesome especially the nations of Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary. They are beautiful countries with the best looking women on earth, plus they are not crawling with busloads of tourists such as in France, and Italy.

France and Italy are large countries. Only small parts of them are crawling with busloads of tourists.

I lived in Germany briefly as an exchange student. I really would like to visit some other countries since I didn't get to visit any others while I was there :cry:. I would mostly be interested in seeing England and any of the four german speaking countries I havn't been to (all 5 german speaking countries are Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Luxembourg, and Liechtenstein), as well as visiting at least Rome.

I also wouldnt mind visiting Russia one of these days.


But yeah, I'd say that at least Germany is pretty awesome, it was REALLY awesome to be there during the world cup =D, i even got to be in the fanmile in Berlin (nothing but beer stands and sausage stands XD, it was pretty awesome, considering I was 17 when I was there and the drinking age was 16 =D). Also, there are a LOT of people in Germany who speak english. (I would laugh at coke ads that said "It's your heimspiel" .... a sign for germans...... that is half in english....)

Yes, Europe is a great place to visit. So much history...so much to see. I would recommend not seeing too many countries at a time. It can be overwhelming, if you try to do too much.
