I didn't want to double post, so here's the original thread.
Other thread is closed so I'll have to post here, but my advice is go to Australia. It's just one of the best places in the world to be IMO. The European Economy is going into a serious crisis and it's getting worse everyday. Why not go to Oz and chill for a year, relax in the sun and meet some great people in some great cities.
I have spent a ton of time in both Europe and Australia and they are both great places. If you are looking to "get away" I would suggest Europe over Australia for the simple reason that Australia/NZ is so much more like the USA (it really is) that the novelty wears off quicker. Just my $.02.
Dear Carbon, NNO, DES, Mc Coy hope to welcome you during your road trip. For Germany = SSB = Sucks So Badly...in any way Try to get a job and stay in Spain or Italia. Check out Germany for vacation and sightseeing and it worth it - but not for business or a living. All the Best with Love & Respect Wolfgang
