You have a few months off this summer before heading back to lectures but money is too tight for a trip to Asia or Australia, so why not go backpacking around Europe? You won’t need tonnes of cash because getting there is remarkably cheap. You can either fly with a low-cost carrier then travel by bus or if you’re in a group, consider ‘road tripping’. You can get across to France cheaply on the ferry or using the Eurotunnel then you’re free to roam from hostel to campsite. Here are a few things not to miss on any trip to Europe. Near Bordeaux on the French border with Spain you’ll find Hossegor, the perfect location for a week-long surfing break. The scenery is amazing the area has some of the best surf beaches in Europe. There are plenty of hostels and campsites in the area too and too many surf schools to count on your fingers. For another board sport that is more commonly enjoyed in winter, head to the Kitzsteinhorn Glacier in Austria for some summer snowboarding. At 3000 metres above sea level you’ll find a tip-top board park where local rippers hit the kickers and rails pretty much all year round. Just beware of the panda-eyed goggle tan that afflicts all summer snowboarders. For the longest day of the year head north to the land of the Vikings for midsummer. In Sweden midsummer is a big deal and it’s even a national holiday. Being so far north of the equator, the night is pretty short and so the parties are particularly long. A good place to go is Gotland, and island off the east coast that throws some of the best parties in the entire country. The small town of Buñol near Valencia in Spain every year, on the last Wednesday of August hosts La Tomatina. This is a giant tomato fight that takes over the town. Thousands of people cram the streets and pummel each other with tomatoes then dance the night away at a massive, town-wide fiesta. Travelling around you Europe you might be lulled into a false sense of security by carrying your European Health Card, but don’t rely on this alone. Get yourself the proper insurance for your level of activity.
