'I travelled around Europe for 34 days with strangers and it may be the best thing I've ever done'

Taking off around Europe with strangers may just be the best thing I have ever done and it might be something you need to add to your summer plans.

I have just completed a 34 day trip across the continent as part of the new ‘Roamies’ travel style from G Adventures and Hostelworld. Myself and ten other people ranging in age from 18-35, set out from Amsterdam on June 19 to see as much as the continent as possible while hostel hopping from city to city - I completed the tour on July 22 in Athens as part of the Ultimate Europe: Berlin, Tuscany and Greek Temples .

We all arrived from different parts of the world - from the US, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Ireland and the UK and have all formed close friendships. I have visited 9 countries and 20 cities in just over a month and my European bucket list is finally full of ticks instead of empty boxes.
