Replies BlueEyedBrielle Posted at 4:09 pm on Aug. 25, 2008 Was born in Ireland. Don't remember it, but I've heard its beautiful handsfree Posted at 1:45 pm on Aug. 25, 2008 Several several several times. WhiteDwarf Posted at 12:27 pm on Aug. 24, 2008 I spent a month in Iceland hitchhiking, that's it. Next summer I'll probably go and see a few of the mainland countries. katyduck Posted at 2:41 am on Aug. 24, 2008 I live here. It is definitely expensive by American standards. We go to the states and are like, "wow, everything is SO cheap!" I've been all over Ireland, in rural Scotland, south Wales, England (Manchester, Bristol, Birmingham, Eastbourne and London), Spanish islands Menorca, Feurteventura and Ibiza, Portugal (Monte Choro and Lagos), Belgium, Germany (Cologne and all over the Rhineland), Austria's Salzburg and Vienna, Italy's northern Alpine regions, and Bulgaria's Svelte Vlas twice. This summer I am going to Gibraltar, Morocco (although that is northern Africa) and Rome. MaryLin Posted at 11:58 am on Aug. 23, 2008 I live in Europe. Emmy1909 Posted at 11:03 am on Aug. 22, 2008 Ive been to Spain,Majorca,Italy,Germany,Switzerland and Norway and I LOVED IT!! Im hoping to do a "Europe Tour" next year going all around Euope!! but yeh its really good!         If you stay in hostels its not that expensive and the meals are just really what you want to eat but they are not that bad providing you don't go to some "big fancy hotel!!" lol emma xx ps GO ON TREAT YOURSELF!!

RIMHfire Posted at 8:28 pm on Aug. 18, 2008 I went to England almost 7 or 8 years ago. It was really fun, I even met Frankie Muniz when he was there on vacation with his parents lol. But now the exchange rate would be a lot higher and everything would be hella expensive now. But I'd go back. :D Fauna Posted at 8:23 pm on Aug. 18, 2008 In Europe I have been to, England, Ireland, Wales, Scotland France, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Italy, Poland, Austria, Cyprus, The Netherlands, Malta. I love Europe. airemaye Posted at 7:17 pm on Aug. 18, 2008 I went to Ireland, Scotland, and England this summer. It was quite expensive by American standards. (partially because the dollar is so weak- just 5 years ago the euro and the dollar were nearly valued the same, whereas now the euro is worth almost twice as much) I paid an average of 11 dollars for lunch every day. Ireland is a beautiful place. Everyone tells you that everything is overwhelmingly green- that's basically thr truth. The weather was perfect when we were there. It was cool and overcast most of the time, but not too rainy. (Although you wouldn't always be that lucky). In June, when we were there, it got dark about 10:30 at night, and light before 4 in the morning. It sounds like a miniscule detail, but really, it surprised me to see. Ireland has a really interesting history as well. (I swear, they do). I didn't spend too long in Scotland, but Edinburgh is a really neat city. We had some really funny moments bonding with the locals. (but that's a different story) England is interesting, because of the history. But London's not as great as people make out to be, at least not in my opinion. The Underground is fun, though. Like, really fun. Of course, I can personally only speak for Britain and Ireland, but I have many friends who have been to Germany, France, and Belgium, and they have said the same thing about traveling abroad: You learn so much. You will be surprised. You come away from the experience with a completely different perspective on things; possibly even a changed person. You begin to see things more globally, and realize that you're just one person in a huge, diverse world. jami x3 Posted at 7:15 pm on Aug. 18, 2008 I've been to england & france... Of course there are problems everywhere, but for some reason I felt like I belonged in the french countryside... Kinda odd since I grew up in a city, but something just made me feel at home. Like all of the houses reminded me of madeleine lol & england was quite nice too. I'm glad I was able to go off of the beaten path & see the real parts of the cities, rather than just being dragged to tourist places...

Stay in travellers hostels and have no luxuries when your at home and you can afford to travel. Its not glitz and glamour but you get around alot of places. I prefer the far east like Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Borneo to Europe any day.
