    American road trips, sailing trips, pyramid

    expeditions, and other awesomeness around the

    world for travellers between 18-39.

    We realise that everyones dierent, which is

    why all our trips include heaps of free time to

    play and explore. Its your trip, your way.

    Your trip includes all the must-see, must-do

    activities and top-notch local fare to recharge

    those batteries between stops, which means

    you can spend your money where it matters and

    a group of mates, some wheels and enough

    wanderlust to make most mothers worried.

    new places to see and unforgettable travel

    experiences to make our passengers trips just

    that little bit more awesome.

    Thats us, but this is about you. Its time to live

    large, dream bigger and squeeze life for all its

    THE GREAT EUROPEAN BUCKET LIST | 05

    Pardon my French

    Paris is a love aair meant to be

    continued. It starts with a romantic

    rendezvous under Pont-Marie, a fleeting kiss at

    the Eiel Tower and a history lesson at Muse

    du Louvre. Its home to the Mona Lisa and Coco

    Chanel, Jay-Z went here for his birthday and

    kissing in public is encouraged. And dont get us

    started on the food.

    01

    Prague tipples

    Its ocially a thing. Prague has the

    best beer in Europe (sorry Carlsberg).

    Start with classics like Urquell, Staropramen and

    Budvar then make your way to local drops like

    Kout na umav and Svijansk Ryt. Also, dont

    miss one of the best-preserved old towns in

    the world, the Lennon Wall and the fact that its

    perfectly fine to drink beer at 11am.

    02

    21 55 121 131105 13510927 49

    Dubrovnik dubstep

    Also known as Kings Landing.

    Sans Lannisters and cloaked men

    with swords. The country that brought you

    the necktie, Dalmatians and a currency named

    after an adorable little rodent, also happens to

    host the hottest city in Europe right now. Think

    baroque buildings behind medieval city walls,

    epic Adriatic Sea sunsets and glitzy nightlife.

    03

    Sailing the Mediterranean

    Life is all about choices. You got three:

    Greece, Croatia or Turkey. Then theres

    the swimwear dilemma, the snorkeling versus

    sunbathing predicament and the impossible

    toss-up between jumping back in for a swim and

    staying right where you are. Work the tan, live

    the dream, forget the rest. Tough life, we know.

    04

    29 1425957 107 27 10195 9953

    Swiss Alps

    Theres more to Switzerland than

    chocolate. Yodeling and cuckoo

    clocks aside, this is one of the most beautiful

    places in Europe. For a country that runs like

    precision clockwork, theres no shortage of time-

    passing opportunities. Take on four languages,

    72 waterfalls and the highest railway station in

    Europe (3,454m!). Also: cheese fondue.

    07

    V for Venice

    You come for the gondolas and stay

    for the gelato. Cruise down ancient

    canals or island-hop your way around in a

    vaporetto life here runs on cruise control and

    so should you. Explore a never-ending maze of

    marble churches and historical relics making

    up one of the most complicated architectural

    contraptions in human history.

    08

    2523 4943 105 23 10745 53 123

    Visca Bara!

    This is not Spain. Well technically

    it is, but the dierences go beyond

    language. This is the stomping ground of Gaudi

    and Dali, the gin & tonic is better than the sangria

    and locals sco at the work ethics of its southern

    neighbours. Expect: hip bars, cosmopolitan

    funkiness and a passion for football.

    09

    Ich bin ein Berliner

    Once bitten twice as funky. Despite

    nearly three decades of Cold War

    politics and bitter separation, Berlin has bounced

    back as a hub of tolerance and creativity. Visit

    the remnants of the notorious Berlin Wall for a

    sobering Throwback Thursday then equalise with

    a dose of the citys contagious night vibes.

    10

    Once were warriors

    There used to be vikings here. But

    modern-day Scandinavia is a mix of

    stylish hi-tech cities, cosy cottages, fjords and

    ridiculously good-looking people. Theres also

    the midnight sun, saunas and the home of Santa

    Claus. While rune stones have now ocially

    been swapped for iPads, Scandinavia remains an

    eortless blend between ice age and space age.

    05

    Greek islands

    Yiros, olives and sunshine are all

    crucial parts of a balanced diet.

    You go to Mykonos for the party, Paros for the

    village feel and Santorini for the best sunsets in

    the world. Melt away under the Mediterranean

    sun by day, party by night and pinch yourself

    regularly. If home is where the heart is, it comes

    with a blue roof.

    All our travellers are 18-30 somethings

    We stay where the action is

    Lots of included experiences

    More included meals

    Crew with a real passion for travel

    We dont ask for tips. Ever

    01. If youre not from Europe, forget everything you think you know about football. Its wrong.

    02. Dont underestimate the previous point.

    03. The Statue of Liberty was actually built in France and donated as a gift to the United States.

    04. There are two more Statues of Liberty in Paris.

    05. You will miss Paris. 06. And Venice. And Prague. And

    Barcelona. And Mykonos.

    07. Pronouncing things is harder than you think.

    08. No? Try Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgo-gerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogo-gogoch. Someone lives there.

    09. Eyjafjallajkull is an Icelandic volcano famous for causing the biggest air trac meltdown since WW2.

    10. According to our friends at the BBC, its pronounced AY-uh-fyat-luh-YOE-kuutl-uh. Youre welcome.

  • 27 THINGS YOU WILL LEARN IN EUROPE | 07

    23. There are 6,243 words to describe snow in the Icelandic language. You dont need to know them.

    24. Dpaysement is an untranslat-able French word to describe the feeling of not being in your home country.

    25. It could probably also be interpreted as missing wine and cheese.

    26. The longest word in the Turkish language is Muvaffakiyetsizle-tiriciletiriveremeyebileceklerim-izdenmisinizcesine.

    27. It means as though you are from those we may not be able to easily make a maker of unsuccessful ones, which doesnt make any more sense.

    11. Its okay to take two hours to finish one single cup of espresso.

    12. Winning the Eurovision song contest can get you a seat in parliament.

    13. Prank calling your friends is an acceptable way of saying hello and doesnt mean youre out of credit. In Italy, at least (Google squillo).

    14. Croissants pack around 800 calories per bun, yet you just cant stop eating. Why would you?

    15. Europeans drink a lot of beer. Good beer.

    16. 7 million litres of beer is consumed every year during Oktoberfest alone.

    17. Europe holds the records for both the smallest country in the world (Vatican City), as well as the largest (Russia).

    18. The Greek island Mykonos is home to 10,000 people and three pelicans.

    19. If the Croatian seaside town of Dubrovnik looks like something straight out of Game of Thrones, its because it is (Google it).

    20. Hungary is not a misspelling of hungry or hangry.

    21. Istanbul is the only city in the world bridging two continents (Europe and Asia).

    22. The narrowest street in Venice is 53 centimetres wide at chest level. Challenge accepted.

    Paris picnic First thought: OMG Im in Paris. Second

    thought: Im hungry. Stack up on fresh

    baguettes, cheese and pats as we kick things

    o with a gourmet picnic under the Eiel

    Tower. This is the bread and butter of French

    cuisine, which means a lot since they pretty

    much invented cooking.

    Chomp down some macarons or Instagram

    yourself eating your first escargot.

    You have arrived.

    Fiestas & siestasEat, sleep, repeat. Food coma is a Spanish

    institution and no one will sneer at you for

    taking a well-deserved nap after lunch.

    Lick o plates of tapas and Iberian ham in

    Madrid or hit up Barcelona for epic stacks of

    freshly caught seafood. If you want to blend

    in, swap your jug of sangria for a red wine

    and coke, the best unlikely drink mix to hit the

    streets since avocado coee (yep, its a thing).

    Nom nom nom.

    Cold war cuisine Its all about the meat and potatoes. And lots

    of cheese. Tempered by years of communist

    rule, Eastern European cuisine is known for

    simple, yet hearty comfort food and

    robust flavours.

    Start with classics like goulash and

    borscht; then dig a bit deeper and youll

    find scrumptious street food and plenty of

    gastronomical glasnost. Your must-do foodie

    list includes street stall Lngos in Hungary,

    stung yourself on pierogis (Polands response

    to gyoza) and the best thing since sliced bread:

    the Smaen Sr fried cheese sandwich. Czech

    it out.

    Stars & forksThis is probably the best lunch you will

    ever have. The little French township Grasse is

    synonymous with perfume, lavender fields and

    rolling hills. Its also the birthplace of Jacques

    Chibois brainchild La Bastide Saint-Antoine, a

    Michelin two-star rated restaurant famous for

    its unique blend of flavour and fragrance.

    Prepare for local specialties like olives, trues

    and Mediterranean seafood cooked up with a

    unique mix of herbs, spices and perfumed floral

    scents. There is also a thing called olive oil ice

    cream and you should eat it.*

    Topdeck Inclusion.

    Hungry? Check out our European Taste Trail trip on p. 121.

    *Menu items at La Bastide St-Antoine change daily and availability of specific items cant be guaranteed.

    My kitchen rules: ItalyIf youre looking for spaghetti and meatballs, youre in the wrong place. In fact, Italians are still wondering about who this Alfredo guy is and why tourists are asking about him.

    Think regional and go to Tuscany to find out what tomatoes really taste like, discover the pizza and pastry scene of Rome and hit up Venice for a primer in risottos, scallops, scampi and cuttlefish. The old rules still apply: avoid English menus, menus with pictures and long menus. Delizioso!

    MARTINA TRIP LEADERMartina is a former Swedish florist

    turned full-time globetrotter with a

    resum including everything from

    climbing Kilimanjaro to 12 years

    experience shooting air guns.

    INSIDE TIP:

    The best burgers in Berlin can be found in

    a converted, green public toilet box. Walk

    along the East Side Gallery, cross the bridge

    and follow the railway and youre there.

    EMILY TOPDECK CHEFEmily has been cooking up a storm on

    the road for three years. She doesnt

    like to blow her own trumpet, but we

    know for a fact that her Tiramisu has

    sent many young travellers to cloud

    nine and back.

    INSIDE TIP:

    Florentine steak like most Italian dishes

    should be written in all caps, and nothing

    beats sipping on an espresso with the old

    boys in any city in Italy.

    ISHTI DRIVERIshti was an ice hockey-playing engineer

    in a previous life, but always knew deep

    down that he was destined for a life

    on the road. These days he makes sure

    you get to your destination in comfort

    and style.

    INSIDE TIP:

    Dubrovnik is one of the most romantic cities

    in Europe. Nothing beats huddling up at a

    cocktail bar outside the city walls to take in

    the spectacular Adriatic Sea sunsets.

    DAVID TRIP LEADERMost of us know David as Dragon

    after an unfortunate incident with a

    hot currywurst gave him a nosebleed

    in Germany. Hes also a fountain of

    knowledge of all things Europe (not

    related to sausage).

    INSIDE TIP:

    Theres a cool miniature museum tucked

    away in the castle district of Prague

    exhibiting things like a tiny train sculpted on

    top of a human hair and a 3.2 mm replica of

    the Eiel Tower!

    DAY 6 Venice to Rome. Most good things start with an espresso. Dont miss the cafs around the Pantheon for some of the creamiest beans in Rome. Ordering an Americano is like pouring water into fine wine so mind your manners. Also: the Roman Forum, Spanish Steps and the Colosseum. (B)
