europe

Hi! I saw this article in the L.A. Times travel blog:

It says that we (US citizens) can book hostels in Europe and pay the euro price in US dollars at a rate of 1 for 1. A very appealing offer. However I made a booking and they still charged my credit card the full amount! I emailed them and they haven’t got back to me! I read on this site that they are supposed to be the ones with friendly and helpful customer service! I’d hate to see what the bad customer service is like!

First-Time Europe (by Louis CasaBianca)

I am a freshman at my high school and there is a trip to Europe the summer after my sophomore year and I have to sign up soon or the spots will fill up. I want to know if this trip is worth it, from what I have read people have seen more places for more time at the same price. If anyone could advise me on whether I should go on this trip or save up and backpack through Europe after high school, it would be greatly appreciated! Oh and sleeping on trains and at hostels doesn’t bother me.

Hello!

I’m doing a research to better understand travellers’ requirements when they go to Europe (this research is for a possible new European tourist website). Thus, I’ve created a quick 10-question questionnaire to gather more information and insights from real users throughout the world. I’m not asking for any personal information and you probably will spend between 5-10 minutes answering the online questionnaire.

You can access the questionnaire through the link below:
