SRAM Dual Drive hub a good option..
Europe? There is the possibility to use, ferries, trains and busses, to get to major cities,
then hub from your lodging.
Folding bike, how about a folding trailer to go with it for your gear? Burly Travoy, [US] ,
tows from the seatpost,
Carry Freedom City [UK] tows from a hitch on the left axle end.
Crazyguyonabike has lots of resources and others tour stories..
