Ifyoudomakeitoutof Amsterdam here are some hints that may aid your travels. Let's Go Europe's golden rule is take half the clothes you think you need and bring more money. More practical advice does not exist today. Mobility's the idea and the less you bring the better. Don't worry about lack of clothes because every backpacker is filthy. Cleanliness is not a pre-travel preparation. Read a history or art book on Europe. Europe 101: History and Art for Travelers by Rick Steves paints a comprehensible picture of Europe's past in an amusing and enlightening way. If you don't know what you're seeing, what's the point in seeing it? Some pre-travel study brings alive the inanimate history of Europe. Buy an international Student I.D. This $lO investment provides a cornucopia of discounts at museums and other points of interest. Drop by the Off Campus Studies compiled by Sara Heath and Tyson Whitney WQFS Music Directors 1.

Allow several months for delivery. A two-month pass is SSOO and it truly provides unlimited travel, though some express routes require a supplement—your Eurail guide will give the specifics. One more thing, don't forget your pass port Pick up your application at the post office: it costs about S4O. Travel Necessities Berlitz s 14 European Languages —all Europeans don't speak English. By at tempting tocommunicate in their language, you'll demonstrate an interest in their cul ture which they will appreciate. Let's Go Europe —it is the Bible of budget traveling but supplement it with another budget travel guide because it has plenty of shortcomings (one is that every one uses it for accommodations). Probably the next most important item to bring is MONEY. Bring gobs and gobs and gobs and gobs of money... you don't want to be stressed about finances. Actu ally, $35 a day is adequate, depending on how strong the dollar is. Northern coun tries are more expensive than southern countries. Some smaller items to consider: ear plugs, money belt, change purse, sleeping pills, hat, flip-flops, zip-lock bags, and of course a Swiss army knife. WQFS Top 30 Travel Smarts The less stuff you travel with, the hap pier you will be and that includes people. Traveling in itself can be demanding and the more people and ideas you have, the more complex it gets. I'm sure it could be rewarding to travel with a group, but trying to get five people to decide on so many possibilities can be impossible. It's more likely that you'll probably split up. And with Eurailers eager to make new friends, the fewer you are, the more approachable you become.

Office of Student Activities, Elizabeth Keith and Catherine Donahue ~THE:GUIWOW)im' v GmVit : 15, 1990 budget traveler's price. Doubles are usu ally cheaper than singles. Youth hostels provide cheap dormitory—style accom modations and sometimes a meal, though difficulty exists in finding such items. Beaches and train stations are free, though not always legal or safe. Though the best accommodations are night trains, don't bother with a couchette, just jump on board. Eurailing demands planning and flexi bility. It challenges your lifestyle and expands your mind. Not only is it intensi fied living but intensified learning—learn ing about yourself and the world. It's a student's experience which should be seized. 9
