Hi, I have the next few weeks here (currently in Geneva), and I'd like to spend the time seeing as many things as possible. (that is, locally as well as Switzerland and Europe) Problem is, I don't have much experience traveling, and I have no idea how to go about this. I would have planned more in advance, but this was unexpected. So, I think I need a travel buddy. I think a group of 2 would be best, because it might be difficult to find cheap accommodation for a larger group.
Some characteristics of my travel buddy:
- Fairly knowledgeable about traveling in Europe (because I have no idea, I'm an American)
- On a budget, like me (I'm a student)
- More inclined toward adventurous travel/alternative lifestyle. (that is, not just tour buses) So, maybe this would be a person around my age (25) but this is not mandatory.
- Maybe someone that knows some German, because I don't. (But it might not be needed, I don't know.)
- I tend to get along better with males for some reason, but maybe it would be easier for a group of 2 females to find a couch or something.
- If you have a car, I'll contribute to gas costs.
Locally:
- Mt. Saleve (I know there's a guided tour on Sundays but we don't have to wait till then)
- open to more suggestions
In Switzerland:
- Zurich and the Alps (Interlaken?)
- open to suggestions
In Europe:
- Amsterdam (to try the space cake, lol)
- Vienna, maybe?
- open to suggestions
Please also let me know if there are other websites more suited to this purpose, I'd appreciate those comments as well. Or if you have a trip I can go on.
