In reply to Gordon Sims. It's the high-speed train from London to Paris to Brussels (and soon Amsterdam)!

In reply to Derrick. What is a 'Thalys!'?

Megabus is great – I used it to travel between Paris and Amsterdam overnight.
Not the most comfortable, but so, so much cheaper than taking the Thalys!

I am also a big fan of hitchhiking. Because Europe is such a densely packed continent there’s always something to explore, even if you’re on foot.

Anyways, if you decide that you want to explore Europe through hitchhiking you should remember to bring a few essentials with you:

You need to take some ID, such as a passport. An ATM card so you can withdraw local currency, or some cash to change. Some rain gear is a good idea, though many just decide to sit out the rain. Sometimes you might not be anywhere near a hotel or inn when it’s getting dark. That’s why you should bring a small tent and sleeping bag with you.

In reply to Niko. Hi Niko , yes it's easy to buy a car.. but selling it might take time , unless you go to a garage and sell it at a loss.. insurance can be expensive if you're not a resident .. on the other hand it's the best way to travel as you're not depending on anyone else. In UK cars are cheap, £1000 gets you a decent diesel, cheap to run.. easy on ebay, gumtree, friday-ad.

If I am planning to travel for over 4-month in Europe, will it be better for me to buy a car for $2000 range and then sell it at the end of my trip? Any rules or regulations about buying a car and drive it through Europe. Is it easy to sell it at the end?. What is the best country in Europe to buy a cheap reliable car? Can I sell it in any country in Europe or I have to sell back at the same country, I bought it from? So many questions I tried to place in here but I hope you get what I am trying to do and your insight/expert advice will be appreciated.
