Europe String

by jul on February 2nd, 2008

Brave New Traveler’s helpful suggestions for hooking up at a hostel (the “where”, not the “how”).
Arthur Frommer tells us about some cheap flights to Rome.
Dutch airline KLM goes tragically hip with their latest online promotional campaign Stop the Hassle. Some amusing stuff, plus a chance to win free travel, which is always fun.
And in case you’re still looking for a place to watch that big game, several cities have been added since I originally posted about where to watch the Super Bowl live in Europe.

Jul:

I just read the Brave New Traveler’s post… now THAT’S something to write home about! ha!

I’ve actually slept (and slept ONLY) in a youth hostel, but perhaps because I don’t drink alcohol, I never had to worry about where to do the dirty deed while there.

Perhaps you could have a contest? “The craziest place you ever — um, you know — in Europe”. Hey, I freely admit that I’d be hooked!

LOL, Angelique - that’s quite an idea! But since this is a budget travel blog, it’d have to be limited to affordable hook-up spots. No trysts at the Ritz Carlton stories (unless you snuck in for free!). :)

“Sex on a Budget”.

Or you could write a post called “Hostel Sex”. Now THAT could garner some responses, but not the type you’re looking for, I’m sure.

(Did someone say “Dominatrix?”)
