Danger. Severe attack of wanderlust, likely triggered by the rainy day and multitude of home renovation projects. Ah, the care (and mortgage) free days spent country-hopping across Europe, with this tome in hand. It reliably produced a strong selection of budget hotels and restaurants wherever I happened to land. When I spied other travelers leafing through theirs at the train station, I’d pick up the pace so they couldn’t beat me to the last room in the nicest-sounding hostel. Definitely worth its (significant) weight for that long-term, multi-country youthful backpacking trip.
