A rare experience in life︱A three-month solo trip to Europe

In 2018, I traveled alone to Europe for three months. Why travel alone? Otherwise, who can ask for three months' leave to come with me? At that time, because I left a job, even though I resigned on my own, it was actually half involuntary, because I wanted to find the next job first and then leave the premise. I took a job while I was looking for a job, but I couldn’t find a suitable job for a while, so I thought it might be better to travel, because my dream is to travel around the world! If you can't go around the world, it's good to go to a few countries that you haven't visited!

But to be honest, my English is very bad, so I hesitated for a while, and then I decided to go to Okinawa to play for a month. After returning to China, I felt like this! Anyway, I don’t want to make friends, I don’t need to chat very much, I can live, I can find food, I can get from place A to place B, I know how to take a plane, and that’s about it! Moreover, Europe has no borders. Transiting by train and bus is just as insensitive as Taiwan's cross-county and city, so I arranged a rough itinerary, bought a ticket and set off!

Although he has many experiences in self-guided trips to Japan, and has also traveled alone, this is the first time Bi Jing has traveled so far to Europe by himself. I also used Google to translate the brief itinerary for the problems I encountered (in fact, it was quite detailed, and even the address of my accommodation for the previous month was typed on it). The translation of the insurance certificate and various supporting documents are also placed in the folder. In the carry-on bag, it is probably a concept that it will not rain if you bring an umbrella. These things are completely useless. When you go through customs at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, you are only asked where is your destination? How long will you be in the Netherlands? I didn't even finish talking about the entry stamp, so the three-month wandering trip by myself officially started!

The tour starts in the Netherlands with the following route (for example cities with accommodation):

[Netherlands] Amsterdam → Rotterdam → [Germany] Cologne → Hamburg → Berlin → [Poland] Leslavs → Warsaw → Krakow → Zakopane → Krakow → [Hungary] Budapest → Pecs → Budapest → [Kro Essia] Zagreb → Dubrovnik → Split → Zadar → Rijeka → [Slovenia] Ljubljana → [Austria] Graz → [Czech Republic] Brno → Kulen Love → Prague → [Germany] Munich → [Netherlands] Amsterdam.

In fact, in three months, there are not many places to go. I have lived in most cities for more than three days, and Poland has stayed for 20 days. The reason is not only that Poland is very mysterious, but the CP value is very high. , is probably the cheapest place on this trip, because I don't have a job, so naturally it's a cheaper place to stay longer! Most of the accommodation is also in a youth hostel. In fact, because I don’t sleep well [to be quiet], this is a big challenge. The solution is to play hard during the day and sleep when I’m tired, but occasionally I still encounter that This kind of snoring affects sleep, but I have also practiced the ability to fall asleep in three minutes, but this skill has not been used for a long time and now it no longer exists!

Every time I talk about a three-month trip, most of the time I get asked how much it costs! ? Otherwise, you will directly hear the other party say: wow, you are so rich (really rude), in fact, three months are super savings, and the cost is less than 200,000 (including round-trip air tickets and two one-way air tickets in Europe), in fact, it can be more Save it, just live in a youth hostel, calculate and compare the cost of the car, and eat less restaurants (so I will check whether there is a kitchen in the accommodation in advance), but I still want to experience the cuisine of various countries, so I still eat a few in each city. For better meals, most of them go to the supermarket to buy some simple ingredients, and some buy semi-finished products. You can eat them with a little processing. In this way, with my zero-point cooking skills, I will not be hungry. Some youth hostels provide them. Breakfast [you have to do it yourself, fortunately I can still fry an egg], of course there is instant noodles in the luggage [add another dish and a meat to cook together and it is nutritious], I remember seeing it in a Polish supermarket There are locally produced instant noodles. Out of curiosity, I bought a few more packs with food storage supplies, but honestly, although it is not bad, it is still delicious in Taiwanese instant noodles. At the end of the trip, I think my cooking skills should be improved from zero. To ten?

Now I'm 120,000 fortunate that I took action and went out for such a trip. Who would have known that the epidemic had come so fiercely, and now it seems that it is still far away to go abroad! ! By the way, another gain is that I also completed the weight loss plan by the way, and lost weight to the perfect weight set by myself, probably because I like to take pictures everywhere by walking, and I also carry the weight [back camera and peripheral equipment], right? However, the weight that disappeared within less than half a year of returning to Taiwan was made up. . .
