The Great Migration happens every summer. Final exams are over, work grinds to a halt and tens of thousands of Americans head to Europe for a summer of travel and fun. Europe and summer go together like peanut butter and jelly. So do European travel and a Eurail pass.
Traveling around Europe by train is a rite of passage for travelers of all ages. It is especially popular with those under the age of 26 because it is the cheapest, easiest and most enjoyable way to see the sites. Not matter your age or the time of year you visit Europe, a Eurail pass can save you a lot of money and a lot of hassle.
Simply purchase a pass before you leave for Europe and flash it to the conductors when you are aboard the train. It is as simple as that. Of course, there are rules and regulations and the pass doesn’t allow you to go to some parts on Eastern Europe, but its convenience and cost savings continue to make the Eurail pass a hit. There are a number of options to choose from so do your research ahead of time to determine the pass that is best suited for your European travel plans.
It is always interesting to see how people react to the coming of spring. Some people come out of their winter hibernation and are full of life. Others find that the sunshine and flowers are a reason to fall head over heels in love. And then there are people who wish it were dark and cloudy all year long.

This time of year is sometimes referred to as the “off-season” in the travel industry because the number of people who travel this time of year is far less than the numbers seen in the summer and during holiday periods. Because of the nature of economics, you know that whole supply/demand thing you slept through in Econ 101 in college, the prices for flights and hotels are greatly reduced during the off-season. The number crunchers over at Cheap Tickets have calculated the biggest price reductions in Europe and have compiled
Nothing is more American than Thanksgiving. The pilgrims, the Indians, the turkeys and pumpkin pie…Thanksgiving is a time for gluttony and a time to be thankful for football on television. If you are the adventurous type, and I suspect you are, Thanksgiving in another country can be a whole heck of a lot of fun. For one thing, no one else will be celebrating it so that makes you special. For another, you probably get days off at work so you won’t have to take too much vacation time. Plus, you won’t have to listen to your boring aunt tell the same stories over and over and over again, unless you choose to bring her along.
The college kids are back in school, the summer backpackers are back doing whatever they do and the natives are back at work. Fall is an excellent season to visit Europe if you are the type of person who doesn’t like to deal with the summer crowds.
