Something To Keep In Mind

In case your mind is leaning towards spending some time in Europe then do not expect your electric appliances to work there, unless you bring an adapter. The voltage is 220 in all European countries as far as I am aware off, compared to the 110 in the U.S. When you don't know that you can expect a big blow out!

Another tip is trying to familiarize yourself with the habits, customs and even the language. Just the simple fact that you speak only a few words in their language is highly appreciated and the attitude of the people often becomes even more friendly and helpful.

Yes, it will take a little time and effort, but you will get what you give and even then some!
