Considering personal safety, language exchange, expenses, etc., is it feasible for a person to travel in Europe?

The answer is possible because I have experienced it. First of all, I am a girl, studying in Finland. I graduated in May this year. I worked from May to July to save money. In August, I traveled alone to Greece, Germany, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Austria, Switzerland, Spain, France, and Belgium. , Denmark and Ten Countries. Due to limited time and money, it is not an in-depth tour of all aspects, but I am still very proud to say that I visited ten countries in a month, hahahaha. Life safety: It can be said that I personally did not encounter any safety problems during the entire trip. It is really due to God’s blessing and my high vigilance. I spent the night alone at the airport, at the train station, and on the train. I also arrived in Barcelona at almost 11 o'clock in the evening and couldn't find my way out of the subway. (Two guys were very friendly and asked me if I needed help. They looked at me. After getting the address of the youth hostel, he said that there were many people partying there tonight and asked me to pay attention to safety and gave me directions). After watching the Eiffel Tower light up, a person was walking and taking pictures on the streets of Paris at around 11 o'clock (near the Eiffel Tower) There are a lot of police on duty at several intersections, and even though it was very late, there were still many tourists like me at the Eiffel Tower). I also slept in a mixed-gender youth hostel with more than a dozen beds, and everything was fine. Of course, it’s okay for me, which doesn’t mean it’s okay for you to do this. Of course, you still have to be careful when traveling alone. For example, when staying overnight at an airport or train station, try to go to a crowded place. Because I traveled in August, which is also the peak travel season, there are a lot of young people like me traveling, and everyone is waiting. , so as long as you take care of your luggage, it won’t be a big problem; you should also inform your family every day that they are safe, tell them where you are going, where you plan to go next, and when you will contact them tomorrow. If you can’t due to traffic and network problems, Contact in time and explain it in advance so that your family does not have to worry; when taking the subway, put your bag in front of you and hug it, don't be in a daze, and there should be no big problem; don't do it when you meet someone at a scenic spot who wants to help you with a little red rope When he sees them, he immediately crosses his arms and clamps his hands in his armpits (laugh, I invented it myself). In fact, as long as you insist on not being tied, there is nothing he can do. I have seen most of the people who were tied end up I slowly obeyed after being pulled; I have never experienced being stolen/robbed. As I said before, don’t leak money when you are outside. Change your banknotes to smaller denominations and pack them separately with your passport (although I didn’t do this); the local embassy It’s better to write down your phone number and the police phone number, just in case. Language communication: I saw that the questioner said that he is studying in the UK, so the language problem should not be a big problem. It is still possible to communicate briefly in English with the people you come into contact with during the trip. If it doesn't work, just make a gesture. Please note here that the English and local language of some place names/attraction names may be different, so you are required to do your homework beforehand. Expenses: My experience, cheap air tickets + InterRailPass + accommodation + food + attractions + mess, between more than 1500 euros and less than 2000 euros. Personal suggestions: 1. Arrange detailed plans for the entire trip in advance. Low-cost airline query: Momondo (this is just a query Tool, the query results are relatively complete. After checking, sometimes it is cheaper to buy on the official website of each airline) + Raynnair accommodation reservation: Booking.com + Hostelworld attractions/route query I think Qiongyou + Google is enough *The above plan I need to make a backup, one copy on my phone + one printout. I broke my phone while traveling. Fortunately, I copied a complete travel plan early, accurate to the daily schedule, and even the trains I might use. Timetable, Virgo feels so at ease. 2. It is important to wear a watch to keep track of time. 3. Bring a pen and paper. I like to write down notes while traveling, and I need to fill in the ticket information myself when taking InterRailPass. 4. Be sure to bring your student ID! You can save a lot of money on attraction tickets. 5. Bring more money than is enough. Plans cannot keep up with changes, and money is spent very quickly during travel, so bring more with you just in case. 6. Be mentally prepared and go enjoy it. I encountered a French railway strike and stayed at the Avignon train station for so long that my buttocks hurt from sitting. My mind went offline for a moment and I took the wrong train. I went to a nearby place while waiting for the next train. An unexpected gain from a small town; meeting people from many places is very interesting. The boys from Kazakhstan are super handsome, the Mexican guy is also very handsome, the Syrian guy has a big beard and snores loudly, thanks to the Polish guy for the alarm clock. The Australian-Singaporean Chinese grandfather is very cute, as well as Sister Dandan I met in Greece, the three doctors I met in Budapest, etc., etc., all in all, they are very difficult memories. I may not be very clear in some places, but I hope the questioner can know that traveling alone is completely feasible. There are many people who have done it and encourage you to do it too. ..... There are pictures:-) In Athens, I met Sister Dandan, who was very good at taking photos for me. In Athens, I met Sister Dandan, who was very good at taking photos for me. Sitting on a volcano, in the lavender of Nice in Provence. , met the grandfather who asked me to use this camera to take pictures of him, and met the bishop who celebrated mass at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris? He sang beautifully, and it was like taking a train from Germany to Denmark. The boat took us away from the dock at the last stop in Copenhagen, and his skin was tanned to a barley color (laughing while standing on the Jungfraujoch of Top of Europe. I thought she was so great. Finally, I told you to take me with you. The importance of the pen.
