Europe
Travelling through Europe for free
by Michelle Wischnepolski
We all know the saying “When you are young, you have time but no money, when you are
older, you have money but no time”. It is a vicious circle that sets boundaries for young people and stops them from making new memories and experiencing new cultures themselves. Some youngsters might just accept that sad truth and go on with their lives, but I decided to help you break this circle. Today we will take a look at some ways to experience a new culture and increase your tolerance and open-mindedness without having to be rich or spend all of your savings.
Why Europe?
The German sociologist Ulrich Beck once said “Europe is the embodiment of […] diversity”. And he was right. There are very few other places in the world that are so rich in history, that had so many different emperors, leaders, dictators and revolutionists. Europe was at the centre of two world wars, has brought out some of the brightest minds that have ever existed: Einstein, Gauss, Goethe, Marx, the list is long. From small brick houses to tall skyscrapers
Europe offers an incredible variety of architecture, ancient churches and luxurious castles. Whether in a cozy café or a modern restaurant, everybody will find a country that has their favourite national cuisine because the food is so different depending on what region you are in. For people who enjoy cultural events, Europe is a heaven of theatre, concerts, dance and let us not forget about the nearly endless number of museums and exhibitions. From contemporary art to historical statues everything can be found in this heart of cultural life. As Europe has had stable political, trade and social relations it is also considered to be one of the safest places to travel to.
