I’ve always wanted to take a long road trip across Europe, and when I was offered a job that would require me to be there for 9 months, I knew it was the perfect opportunity. I packed my bags, said goodbye to my family and friends, and set off on my journey. Of course, I didn’t want to leave my Dodge Challenger just parked at home in the States, so I took it with me!
I figured once I completed my business obligations, I’d stay awhile longer and do some exploring of this side of the world. Sounded like a fantastic plan. Although it was a bit costly to get the Dodge Challenger there. Balancing out the costs could be met by mostly living cheaply though, so that’s exactly what I did. Well, at least most of the time, sometimes it’s worth it to experience interesting and exotic things.
I started my trip in London, and I immediately fell in love with the city. The architecture was stunning, the people were friendly, and the food was amazing. I spent a few days exploring the city, and then I hit the road.
I drove through England, France, Spain, Italy, and Greece. I saw some of the most beautiful places in the world, and I met some amazing people along the way. I stayed in hostels, hotels, and even in the back of my Dodge Challenger a few times. I ate at some of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to, and I tried some of the weirdest foods I’ve ever tasted.
One of the highlights of my trip was driving the Dodge Challenger through the Alps. The scenery was breathtaking, and I couldn’t believe I was actually there. I stopped at a few different viewpoints to take pictures, and I even went for a hike in one of the mountains.
Another highlight was visiting the Colosseum in Rome. It was amazing to see this ancient structure up close, and it was hard to believe that it was built over 2,000 years ago. I spent hours exploring the Colosseum, and I even got to go down into the arena.
I also had a great time driving through the Italian countryside, my Dodge Challenger handling like a champ. The roads were winding and the views were stunning. I stopped at a few different wineries, and I even got to go on a vineyard tour.
One of the challenges of my trip was driving on the left side of the road. I’m used to driving on the right side, so it took me a few days to get used to it. I also had to be careful when merging onto highways, because the cars were going much faster than I was used to. What a weird experience with a left-hand drive car, on right-hand side roads!
Another issue was finding places to stay. I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on hotels, so I stayed in hostels and guesthouses. I also stayed in the back of my car a few times, a bit cramped, but was actually kind of fun. And of course, a necessary detail to attempt to keep my budget in mind!
One of the best things about my trip was meeting all of the different people I met along the way. I met people from all over the world, and I learned so much about different cultures. I also made some lifelong friends.
My trip to Europe with my own Dodge Challenger was an amazing experience, and I’m so glad I took the opportunity to do it once my business dealings were done. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I’ll never forget it.
Here are some tips for planning your own road trip across Europe:
* Do your research and plan your route in advance. This will help you make the most of your time and avoid any unexpected surprises.
* Pack light. You won’t need as much stuff as you think you do, and you’ll have to carry it all with you on your journey.
* Be prepared for anything. Things can happen on the road, so it’s important to be prepared for anything. This includes having a spare tire, a first aid kit, and some cash on hand.
* Enjoy the journey! A road trip across Europe is the ultimate adventure, so make sure to enjoy every minute of it!
