I live in Singapore (it's in Southeast Asia NOT China) and I intend to backpack across Europe with three friends for 2 months in a couple years' time, from mid-June to mid-August. I will be around 19 then, is that too young? This may seem ridiculous that I'm planning so early, but I have some queries.
The itinerary: Singapore -%26gt; Greece -%26gt; Italy -%26gt; Switzerland -%26gt; France -%26gt; Germany -%26gt; Austria -%26gt; Singapore
Basically the only flights will be from Singapore to Greece and Greece back to Singapore, the rest by Eurorail. How much will the plane ticket and two-month train pass be altogether?
How much does one spend in a day on average, if living in student hostels and cheaper food? How much is other transport within the countries, and tourist sites?
Lastly, how much would the entire trip cost? I need a rough TOTAL SUM, including flights, necessities, etc.
I would really appreciate these figures in Singapore dollars (online currency converter)!Backpacking across Europe for 2 months?
The last added question first.
You pack light by taking only a few clothes and washing them regularly. It will be summer, but that is like a cool day in Singapore, (my friend who has lived in Singapore says,) so your clothes will not get as dirty as they will at home.
Most people pack clothes for one week and wash each week. It is impossible to carry all clothes for 2 months with you and still be able to travel.
On average, in the countries you mention, at this time you need about 75 Euro or about 160 Singapore $ per day, but that can be rather different by the time you come. Because exchange rates do change fast.
I do not know what the plane from Singapore costs now, even less what it will cost then, but to play safe, think about 2500 $ Singapore, add a train pass or an alternative for that and that brings it to a total of 12500$ Singapore, at least. But best think it will be at least 15000$ or even more, and that is per person.
But as I said, a lot will depend on how the Singapore dollar will behave against the Euro, and on many more things, like how the tourist market in Europe changes.
And of course on your own habits, spending pattern and needs.
