Description
Every year thousands of youngsters from America, Britain and Australia head to Europe for the trip of a lifetime. This eclectic, contemporary anthology drawn from literary magazines, websites and backpacking newsgroups records the trials and tribulations of these wannabe explorers, who armed with little more than a newly acquired backpack, guide book in one hand - Eurail pass in the other, embark on a journey that has become a de-facto rite of passage into the adult world. This funny, touching and sometimes mad collection of first-hand experiences brings new life to a well-told tale: from snap-shots at the Eiffel-Tower and yard-glasses at Oktoberfest to Monopoly-board adventures in London and Sangria-fuelled seduction in Spain.
