Europe From A Backpack: Inspiration For Your Travels
We’re off to Europe this summer, and what better way to get some travel inspiration than by reading the stories of backpackers who’ve been there themselves.
Europe From A Backpack is a series of books containing the real stories of backpackers who’ve had plenty of adventures (good and bad) around Europe.
We read about Il Tomatina, that crazy tomato-hurling fest we always get so excited about, about running with the bulls in Pamplona, about non-stop 24-hour-long partying in Ibiza, as well as stories like that of the hostage of the hostile hostel in Italy.
These books aren’t meant to replace your trusty guidebook, they are a fantastic complement for it – something to give you insight into the nature of travel and adventure, and a feel for the cities and countries you’re planning on visiting.
We really enjoyed reading them and look forward to new editions!

Hey, I read the first one – Europe – it was pretty cool I thought. doesn’t tell you where to stay or go or what to do, just relates people’s experiences. something i’d read before going somewhere, probably wouldn’t take it on the road with me.

Hi guys,
First of all I want to say that I am glad to have found your site and blog, they are both great. Next year I am hopefully going begin my live plan of exploring the world through yearly backpacking vacations. This has been delayed about 10 years but I am bound and determined to start next spring. I have placed a link on my blog your’s, no big deal though since I am new to blogging and get very few hits if any. Anyway thanks for the info.
Billy
