Advice to Travelers: 'Avoid Beaten Track', RT JTTIAN FFTER I L7y L)JUAIX"R A. "O JL x JA+ 1 (EDITOR'S NOTE-Julian Foster' is a visiting lecturer in political science from England.) Most American tourists now seem to visit Europe as part of a highly organized tour. Certainly there are many advan- tages in this method of travel. There will be no language difficul- ty-with luck you may nct have to speak to anybody who has not learned some English. or will there be any danger of wasting even a single day. * * * SURROUNDED by the same twenty or thirty people every day of the trip, there will be no chance of being lonely, or of missing any- thing-anything at all. If you pho- tograph constantly and keep a di- ary, it may even be possible to distinguish one memory from an- other after returning home. If you want to save money, however, do as you like and get to know something of the people who live in Europe. If you do not mind extricating yourself from occasional minor difficul- ties, it is much better to travel independently. Prices in Europe are low. Only in France, Belgium and Switzei - land does living cost as much as in America. In Britain, Italy, Hol- land and Portugal prices are about# twenty-five per cent lower; in Aus- tria, Spain and Yugoslavia, per- haps forty percent. Only cars and gas tend to be more expensive. I spent five weeks with two friends last summer motoring from Lon- don to Gibraltar and back, about 5,000 miles, sleeping out and spending as little as possible, and the trip cost about $130 each. ON A CHEAP holiday it is usual- ly possible to get a room for $1 a night, a meal for rather less. Youth hostels are numerous and mostly pleasant, although in parts of France they can be quite hor- rifying. Camping is popular in Europe, but generally more difficult as you penetrate farther south and bicycling also, although only ad- visable in countries like England, where distances are compara- tively short. A car is a great as- set, but self-drive hire costs from $5 a day up. If you are staying long it is better to buy one and I bring it home (many manufac- turers pay the cost of transport- ing it) or resell it on leaving. In Europe the driver should be adaptable. In France complex laws lead everyone to believe they have the right of way when the road is not actually blocked by an ac- cident. In Britain they drive on the wrong side, in Italy on all sides, for Switzerland you need iron nerve and for Spain or Yu- goslavia a jeep. * * * OTHERWISE the cheapest, transport is by coach. Long dis- tance trains are more frequent than in America and as efficient, except in Spain and Southern ie- land, where railroad travel pro- vides excellent opportunity for really living with the native inhab- itants. All guidebooks recommend hundreds of places you must visit and contain much useful information, but they have their limitations. They all try to make the best of their material. You might not guess that Belgium, for instance, apart from Bruges and a green bit in the southeast corner, looks rather like Detroit. The books ignore the weather when it suits them and will not Guide Books Give Advice To Tourists For use as either reference ma- terial, handy guides or good read- ing for the arm-chair traveler are a variety of up-to-date travel books for tourists. An all-around guide to Europe which includes information on where and where not to go and what and what not to see, is Fielding's "Travel Guide to Eur- ope."

Joseph also has two other books for travelers, on the market, "World-Wide Money Converter" and "World-Wide Travel Regula- tions," the latter written in colla- boration with Muriel Richter.

They glory in the oldest, the highest, the longest, yet driv- ing up the highest road in Europe (in the Spanish Sierra Nevadas) is like climbing a vast slag heap and the longest beach (in south- westren France) is swept by a constant 50 mph gale. And when the guidebooks fail completely, as in much of Spain, Eire, Yugoslavia or southern Italy, it is often an indication that while the area is not a tourist one, be- cause of bad roads or few hotels or railroads, the scenery is unspoilt and the people are interested in talking to travelers. Anyone who is not going to be disappointed because foreign countries are un- like his own and wants to get to know them and the people who live in them, should often avoid the beaten track.
