Getting lost is only fun when you're with somebody else Thanks for this info! My sister and I are thinking of/planning to backpack throughout Europe. I did my research and it costs like 6K USD each if we did it for 6 months. Overall, do you think it's cheaper and more worthwhile to just get a plane ticket to just a specific city and stay there for several days then come back home? Or is backpacking really the way to go? I feel as if there will not be enough time to enjoy the scenery if there's so many things on the to-do list
