Backpack Europe

Same Time Zone across most countries so no need to change times!!

France, Germany, Spain, Belgium, Netherlands and the tiny states - still to go Italy and Eastern and Northern Europe

Banking: Believe me the Euro is the best thing to happen for a traveller to Europe - (see $$$) also.
I was in Paris on January 1, 2002 and though I think I got cheated a couple of times that day but after that no hassel in travelling across countries using Euro!

Transport: Rail, Europe is big so driving is difficult. You dont really need air travel unless you are skipping a lot of places, further the train stations are right in the middle of most city and very convinient.

Electricity: 220V, circular socket but different everywhere.... you can get one single adapter for all styles.
