tents for camping europe image
Amy
Me and my boyfriend, aged 20 and 21 respectively, are planning a trip across Europe backpacking and camping. We did not expect to encounter any problems with this until I read on the internet that a law in Belgium used to state that unmarried couples under the age of 21 could not share accommodation. Does anyone know if this is still the case (or if it is even true in the first place)? We're leaving in 20 days and I'm getting a bit concerned that we'll be left with nowhere to stay.
Answer
Belgian law allows you to have consensual sex at the age of 16. But you will have to wait until your 18th to get married. In other words, the law really doesn't have any problems with unmarried couples and so they won't forbid you from sharing a tent.
If on the other hand you plan on staying at a monastery or other religious refuge, the house rules may state that you can not sleep in the same space unless you are married. But that's because the catholic church does have a problem with sex before marriage. The rest of Belgium doesn't.

Been packpacking first time in 1976 and visited just about all the European countries. The cost depends very much on where you travel. My son has traveled on 10 dollars a day in eastern Europe sleeping in hostels.
Travelling is not that expensive and easy to plan eurailpass for youth costs currently $634.00 for one moth travel in Austria 3, Belgium 3, Denmark 3 , Finland 3, France 2, Germany, 3 Greece 2, Holland 2, Hungary 1, Italy 2, Luxembourg 3, Norway 4, Portugal 1, Republic of Ireland 3, Romania 0 , Spain 2, Sweden 3 and Switzerland 4.
You can also extend your trip to Czeck 1 and Slovakia 0 you have to buy the train tickets, but prices of them are very reasonable and would certainly recommend Prague (old city and center price level 3 all other 1). Other Cities definately worth seeing are: Porto (take a tour in port cellar) and Barcelona maybe also Paris, Cologne, Amsterdam, Delft (Holland), Annecy (France), Berlin, Copenhagen.
I have number behind each giving idea of price level there this correspons the price level on regular towns not historic city centers etc...
4 - much higher than states
3 - somewhat higher than states
2 - states level
1 - below states
0 - way below
The main thing determining your budget is accommodation: hotel, hostel with private room annd shower, hostel without neither, camping. If you travel in the summer its a good idea to have sleeping bag and a light tent with you gives you freedom. A good way to cut cost is to take night trains you cover a lot a ground while sleeping (sleeping bag handy).
Travelling alone is not a problem in Europe even for a lady. You might get some whistles in Italy but thats about all. Having companion is also nice and cuts a bit on your budjet if you prefer private rooms (double room usually costs about the same as single). Especially in the summer you can also find companion in the trains with thousands of backpackers just like yourself and then maybe spend a week in some companion and then split. The girl from my neighbuor (19 y) did that.
Have fun and realize your dream.
