Addie Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Hello :-) We've just come back from a year touring Europe and wanted to share our accounts for the time we spent away to show what can be achieved on what we feel was a relatively tight budget. We covered 23,000 miles stopping in 18 countries and have posted a detailed account of our expenditure in the hope that others might consider a similar trip. We hope you find it interesting reading! http://www.europebycamper.com/2012/03/touring-europe-for-year-what-does-it.html All the best Adam & Sophie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

w1ntersun Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Very interesting. It cost us £2300 for 3 months in Spain so you did all that for less than us staying in one place Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flicka Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Congratulations Adam, An excellent record of your extended tour & also lots of valuable info also for those of us who are not able to take so long a trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest peter Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 What a great blog. There's some great information there. Thanks very much. We will have to have a good read of it all, as we plan on doing someting similar. It was also nice to see a younger couple living the dream as well, as it's only the retired or rich that usually have the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelly58 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 In the middle 1970's when I was " The Man from the Pru " I had a transfer of business from a family that had just returned from a 12 month tour of Europe. They had 2 daughters about 11 / 13 sold their property and stored their belongings gave up a good job and bought a motorhome ,it was fasinating listening to their adventures having just crossed the channel and set off on a family adventure , which really made me envious as to how brave I thought of them to just change a way of life up sticks and venture forth.The remarkable thing was upon their return to the UK they rented a property put the children into a local school he soon found a good job and picked up the pieces in a very short time .I was never that brave to do such a thing , but at the back of my mind it was always something I yearned to do .Now I'm retired at least I can fullfill part of my quest.Thanks for a fantastic blog well done .
