I went on the Europe 21 day camping tour in 04 alone and it was the best thing I ever did. I met so many people...I enjoyed it so much I'm doing the Great Northern (USA) in a few weeks, on my own again :)

i took a backpack and have to say it was one of the best decisions i made. while other people struggled to get suitcases up and down stairs i found it easy. backpacks r also lighter than suitcases so take up less of ur baggage allowance on flights :)
