About how much does it cost to do something like backpack across europe?

it probably depends on what countries to go to...

i would definitely want to visit a lot of england, as well as ireland, spain, france, germany, italy, greece, and probably others... any suggestions on countries or areas to visit?

Answer 1

Also depends on how much time you have.  If you don't have a EU passport you're limited to 3 months only for the Schengen Zone - that's most of Europe except UK and Switzerland - Google for more info on Schengen.

Get a guidebook - Lonely Planet's Europe on a Shoestring is good - and based on your interests work out what countries and cities you'd like to see, then you can start looking at the costs.  That guidebook also gives you tips on backpacking, and where to stay eg hostels are much cheaper than hotels.

Answer 2

I've know quite a few people who've saved $ (even made a little $) by working  on farms. I believe it's called World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms---WWOOF. Sometimes you get a stipend; you usually, at least, get room and board when you pitch in a little work there.

Look them up on the web!
