My European Adventures: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "My European Adventures" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

My European Adventuresisnt just a travel guide. To some extent its a photo/coffee table book with 286 color photos and its also a bit of a travel narrative/memoir. Nick takes you across Europe, from London to Istanbul, through thirty cities in nineteen countries and shows and tells about many fun and memorable things to see and do. Along the way, he tells you the little adventures and sometimes, misadventures, he experienced.

Youll learn to use your smart device, Nick likes his ten-inch Android tablet, to travel independently and confidently throughout Europe, making your own plans, setting your own agenda, and staying for as long as you want. By using the incredible and extensive train system to get around and by staying in wonderful, inexpensive (but not cheap) hostels, you can have the European experience of a lifetime.

Instead of paying a small fortune to be herded around in a tour bus for a few days and having a frenzied tourist trip youll barely remember, learn more about the culture, the food, and the languages of Europe in the very best way: living there for months at a time.

My European Adventures

Gerald Nicks

Preface

There is no such thing as a comprehensive, or complete, travel guide or travel story. You can visit the same place several times, and each time youll find new and interesting things to see and do. Thats part of what makes travel so great. Ive written about the places and things that were interesting to me, and, of course, a great deal has been left out. You get to decide and choose what appeals to you. It will often not be the big and famous tourist spots. I had many of my most memorable experiences while traveling through Europe hardly show up on the tourist radar at all. And Im glad its that way.

Some travel authors have called travelers like us cheapskates. I like to say theyre entitled to their opinionno matter how wrong it is! We just know how to get the absolute most value and the most wonderful experiences for the least cost. When Im strolling along the Seine in Paris, everybody I meet and practice my very limited French on doesnt know whether Im heading back later that night to sleep in a hostel or a five-star hotel, and they dont care . I get to experience the same Eiffel Tower, the same Louvre, and the same Moulin Rouge as the tourist who spends five thousand dollars for ten days, but I spend five thousand dollars for one hundred and twenty-five days. Plus, Im not a damn tourist but instead a travelerand there is an important difference Ill explain later. Its your choice, of course, but I would much rather be a traveler and stay in Europe long enough to feel at least a little bit European. Its way better.

If Ive mentioned a place or activity at all, then consider that a recommendation from meunless I specifically said it might not be a good idea. For me, even those things I did which in hindsight were perhaps not so wise turned out to be nothing more than a treasured memory. Maybe I was just lucky; youll decide for yourself if something feels too risky to venture. I would love to hear from any fellow travelers who use the methods Ive described, that is, the way I traveled. Please let me know what worked well for you and what did not. Thanks, and bon voyage und gute Reise!

Introduction

Have you ever dreamed of traveling through Europe and experiencing the Renaissance beauty of Florence, Italy, or the romantic magic of Paris, France? For that matter, what about any number of other incredible and amazing places like Budapest, Berlin, Prague, London, Vienna, and Venice, just to name a few? I dont mean staying for just a few stinking days in each place with a tight schedule kicking your ass. But then you wake from your dream, reality sets in, it seems, and you just know that you dont have enough money, that you are a little too old, or that you would simply be afraid to make such a travel adventure, especially by yourself. Well, Ive got a wonderful message for you. You can do it and have the time of your life. I was sixty-three years old and had just given up everything in a Chapter Seven bankruptcy. Id lost almost all my assets and money in the big real estate/banking crash that spanned 2005 to 2009, yet Ive just returned from a ten-month travel adventure covering fifteen cities in eleven different countries across Europe. The trip before that one covered fourteen other cities in nine other countries. It has been truly mind-boggling, and it has only whetted my appetite for more.

These travels have been life-changing for me. I never considered myself much of a photographer, and I believe that the experience itself is what is most important, not just capturing images of the experience. Its sort of like the difference between watching an image of life on TV versus living life. And yet the extreme beauty of the various cities, regions, and countries of Europe inspired me to take thousands of photos and hundreds of videos. I would say to myself, Okay, Nick, thats enough damn photos for today! Then I would go around a corner and say, Wow! Ive got to get a photo of that! And that happened again and again.

So, I want to tell you how I did it, and at the same time I hope youll share in the greatest travel adventure of my life. I think youll enjoy the true stories, the photos, and my suggestions and information on places to see and things to do across Europe. Maybe, just maybe, youll be inspired to make your very own amazing journey of discovery. There are many myths, fears, and misunderstandings which need to be dispelledespecially for those of us who have already been on the planet for a good while.
