Backpacking in Europe – Europe
Rating: Most Important week of your life
Are you lost? Yes? Can you afford a gap year? Well, if you can’t, try a quick backpacking trip in Europe. Spend a week hiking in the Ural Mountains trying not to think about what you plan on doing with your degree. Focus on the serenity of the calm rural lifestyle of many eastern Europeans and less on the existential dread you’ve been mentally avoiding.
Fast Facts:
*The tallest mountain in Europe is Mt. Elbrus in Russia standing at over 18,000 ft
*If you had a dollar for every foot Mt. Elbrus had, you’d still need $5,000 to repay your student loans
