I often find some interest learning about things I've not really been all that interested in previously; I'm inquisitive by nature I guess which keeps thing interested. So, I assume there may be some others out there like that as well, you probably.

Planning for a trip like this isn't the easiest thing but there's really a lot of information and with careful planning it can be done with safety...although it's not really a trip unless at least one thing is forgotten. (Hopefully nothing critical in nature.)

I mean, how could it not be interesting? I never do that, so at least I can read about it and feel a bit jealous that someone else is doing it! :) Maybe I’ll be so jealous that I’ll finally plan my own trip. We’ve been talking about doing a Eurotrip for years, but it’s always just been talk and never action. Seeing someone else do it gives us hope that we might finally go as well. And when someone gives you advice on how to plan it, make it easier. It might not be possible for me to go for more than a year, but a month of traveling could be doable. Oh yeah…don’t forget your phone…or your partner! 😂

I'd love a road trip through Europe, but that's sounds a little daunting considering I only speak English, Italian, French and a little German (and the language of love of course). All those other languages...and you buggers drive in the other side of the road! 🤔

Only four languages? 😂 That’s three times more languages than most Austrians or Germans! 😂 (I don't mean to be rude) I work with a lot of Austrian people, and I think only two or three of them understand English, and that’s it! 😂 They synchronize every movie, so how do they manage to learn? In Slovenia, we don’t do that, so we have to learn English if we want to watch movies. 😂 But really, with English, you can travel all over Europe. If you want to order a beer, everyone knows that word! 😂 The only country where I had a language barrier was Italy, and I really felt lost there. After studying the language for four years, the only phrases I know are asking where the bathroom is and saying I want a beer! 😂 And yes… we drive on the normal side of the road. 😂

Yeah, I'm not sure about Austrians, I've been there and few spoke English.

Most Australians (born here like me) don't speak multiple languages other than what they learn in school (and soon forget). I've travelled around the world and have not really had many issues with language, most people are accommodating and eventually the message gets through.

Exactly…few people 😂
In Slovenia, kids need to learn other languages…there are only 2 million of us…we need to communicate with other people, or we are f….😂 I went to school for tourism so I could learn 😂 but like you said…, the message always gets through. If not with mouth, then with hands 💪

I think maybe mouths and hands is better than words and hands...but ok, let's just say words and hands. 😀
