Finding the Perfect Backpack

 You have decided to go out and experience the world! You have some idea of where you want to go, but have no idea what you need to bring with you! The internet is full of articles which try and point out what they believe you need to take on any kind of backpacking adventure weather it be to Europe or to Asia. Here at Wander the World we have a different view on some of these things and would like to share with you what we know...

A Night in Athens

 I was in Italy low on money and ready to take off on another little adventure. Before hand I was working at a really funky hostel in Rome, I can say I had the time of my life working there and have made some friends I believe I will have forever, but time there was at an end and I felt that across the sea in Greece many more exciting things awaited.



Work without a Permit?

 This is a re-occurring question that I've noticed posted at a lot of places recently. Many people reply with the "its hard, its not worth it, get a proper work permit" kind of answer, but I can tell you right now those replies are just not true.



Finding that cheap flight!

 The problem for any backpacker is not finding a place to go (there is always someplace new to explore) but how to get there cheaply. Sometimes half the cost of a trip is in the travel. Finding a cheap flight is as important as finding the right location, the right backpack, or the right hostel. 



European Train Companies

European Train CompaniesThe one thing I found difficult to figure out in Europe was how to find Train information for each country. Not knowing the train company name or their website became a little annoying after a while, so to make things easier here's a list of major Train companies in Europe and their websites! P.S - The links are for the English sites, if they are available.
