Backpacking

Hi all,

Heading to europe at end of june for "a backpacking experience". I am hoping to start in france and organise work before I go through helpx to pick up farm work/grape picking etc. and then make my way round europe and head to the rainbow festival in slovakia in augest.

Just looking for tips and experiences to be honest as any knowledge would be helpfull. Also I am heading over on my own so peoples experiences in relation to this would be fantastic!!!

Like to see the adventure in life so any like minded people sharing info would be appricaited,

Cheers

Skip Slovakia and go to Sziget in Hungary. You could try working for that, they might need English speaking volunteers. Slovakia isn't very nice in general, but Bratislava is an absolute kip!
