Yeah I guess if you are from the US a lot of people have prejudices so you are wise to be careful.
How much are campgrounds typically in the various countries? In Canada they've started charging nearly $40 a night for some places, I'll NEVER pay that kind of coin to sleep in a tent, lol. If I have to sleep in a bus shelter, I'll do it
But anyways I have NO plans whatsoever for where to visit, it's all going to be on a whim. I want to see London and maybe Paris, maybe the beaches of Normandy in France and the alps perhaps but other than that, who caez? It's probably all interesting compared to Canada.
