18/Male just graduating high school looking for a travel partner male or female age 18-24 to meet me in London July 15th and then using a eurorail pass travel from London to Paris - Barcelona - Switzerland - Italy - Austria - Czech Republic - Germany - Netherlands - then back to London in mid Sept. it'll take a minimum budget of $800 for the europass, add airfare, and $2500 for lodging/food/expenses. Please contact me immediately at paint_it_black_17@yahoo.com or reply on this website. Plans are very flexible to change due to your request.
That is a pretty hefty chunk of money to be asking a travel partner to find in short notice. Try backpacking, staying at hostels, and alternative transportation and you can cut expenses tremendously.

Hy Russ
Hefty chunk of money?
2500$ divided per 60 makes 41$ a day which seams quite reasonable to me... for food, adventures, lodging,... this is europe and the plans are to see quite expensive countries like England, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, ... and the europass really is the thing to do, you could really not get much cheeper unless you like hitchhiking...
Just my opininon ;-)

I know thats a lot of money in a short time, but yeah for 60 days thats pretty mimimal. I've researched hostel reservations, food, and supply costs and i think i can manage a $50/day budget after airfare and the europass. Still, $2500 works because i have people to stay with in Germany and Austria and both places account for about 16 days of my trip.
