Bethany here. Katie just added me as a contributor to this blog, so I thought I'd test it out. We're rapidly approaching the departure date for our six-week European tour and the excitement is building! We hope this site will allow you to share in our adventures as we journey through Germany, Holland, France, Italy, Switzerland, Austria and the Czech Republic. I'm sure we'll have plenty of stories to tell and photos to share along the way.
We just discovered a Web site last night - http://www.couchsurfing.com/ - that could prove to be a good resource during our travels. (Thanks for the tip, Jenny!) It's similar to social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook, but with the purpose of hooking travelers up with free housing from volunteer hosts. We'll probably be staying in a lot of hostels and possibly some campgrounds, but we're thinking that couch surfing could be a fun (and economical!) way to spend some nights and meet some locals. We'll let you know how it turns out.
