susie b Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I was digging through some boxes and came across my photos & journals from my backpacking trip across Europe in the summer of 1992.I wanted to make this trip before my 29th birthday...September 1992. It seemed to be a rite of passage.Lived on the Eurail & in hostels. LOVED IT!!!! My trains were my little homes away from home...always snug & cozy. Lots of interesting people! I've been thinking of doing it again, either this summer or fall. Would anyone else be interested in going? I'm sure some of the routes have changed, but I'm thinking of Bavaria to see some family roots, the Loire Valley, Switzerland & a few more spots.Let me know if you might be interested.

Mary Ellen Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Love traveling through Europe via train. The feelings and sights are very romantic a la a Wes Anderson film. Wish I could go, but hope to live vicariously through detailed travel journal adventures I know Susie & Co. will certainly share.

birdy Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 My people were from Switzerland too. The German speaking side. And I would love to make a pilgrimage to France in my father's honor, who wanted to see France someday without bombs dropping on his head. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paperdoll82 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 The Girl had a couple of friends who did the backpacking thing last summer. It was fun to follow their adventures on Facebook. I've always wanted to go to Ireland and Scotland, but The Girl has piqued my interest in France after her time there last summer.

marlene Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I love your sense of adventure, susie! Although I REALLY loved backpacking cross country in my earlier years, I guess I'm just too old and boring these days. I have friends that grew up and live near Lake Bodensee on the Germany/Switzerland border near the town of Friedrichshafen...it's an absolutely gorgeous area and every direction you look is more picturesque than the last...I'd love to visit there again. If you go.....take tons of pictures and remember lots of stories so you can tell us! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Harlock Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 One of my goals is to go back packing through Lichtenstein. Should take me about forty five minutes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susie b Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 You could hike across Rhode Island, same difference, less money, unless of course, you want to be our chaperone through Europe. After all, you are a super hero, n'est-ce pas? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
