Travel in America and Europe after Camp

Hi Guys, let me know if any of you might be around at this time or if you recommend particular thing i.e places i HAVE to visit.

I arrive at camp on the 30th of may (anyone flying to n.y. from Aucks on the 29th may?)

My camp finishes on the 12th of September and I plan to travel America for 3 weeks max then go to Europe - anyone else?

In Europe I would like to do a Contiki tour - possibly European Escapade and from there hang out in London and find a cheap flight to somewhere, Croatia or Greece maybe?

Then home for Otago!

Anyone? =) look forward to hearing from someone hopefully!! Any advice would be fab too!!

I want to go to Europe after camp. Me and my friend want to go from New York straight to London, probably heading to Scotland, France, Italy, Spain, and maybe Germany, Denmark, Switzerland, etc. HBU?

Hey! Your travel plans sound epic- camp in the U.S., then hop across Europe? Living the dream!

A Contiki tour like the European Escapade sounds like such a good way to cover a lot in a short time. Croatia and Greece after that? Yes please. If you do end up in Greece, one tip: get an eSIM before you go - I used one from Voye Global last time, and it was the best eSIM for Greece, it saved me. No searching for SIM cards at the airport, no roaming charges, and you get mobile data the second you land. Super helpful when you're trying to navigate ferries or find your Airbnb on some random island.

Also, flights out of London to Greece or Croatia are super cheap if you book in advance- Ryanair and easyJet are your friends!
