Any advice would be greatly appreciated:
This is my plan.

Travelling with a friend, we’re taking a car and going to Amsterdam for a week then driving round Europe sight seeing etc for a while then we plan to drive down to the Mediterranean to find work for a few months in order to finance a trip to Thailand.

The sort of things I need to know are –
Is it possible to drive Europe and stay in hostels ?

What would be the best time of year to look for work ?

The best country/area to find work ? (we’re English with, I’m ashamed to say, no foreign language skills, yet)
