> It can be hard to integrate in places like Iceland I imagine.
I've read 'the little book of icelanders', the author is quite clear about the nature of Icelanders: if you're an outsider you are not getting in. You don't know anyone, no one wants to know you. You can have a friend here and there but they go to their family units.
Forget about integrating into Icelandic society as a foreigner if you do not marry into their social circle.
And in Winter it's dark. And cold. And you don't know the language very well...
You also aren't going to find hundreds of games developers in Iceland. I think that anyone who wanted to be a game developer in Iceland has worked or at least tried to work for CCP.
The rick steve's europe book is useful.
There's also a book https://www.amazon.com/Slovenology-Living-Traveling-Worlds-Country-ebook/dp/B077G6LRDQ written by an American that married a Slovene woman. They guy is increadibly favorable^(if you can't tell, by the subtitle.)
And there's another American Michael Manske that has (had?) a podcast How to become a Slovene?. That's comedy with quite a lot of slovenian thrown in though.
I was recently in Paris and did see gluten-free products. "Sans gluten."
This place is gluten-free.
This book might be helpful.
All too true.
I am a former adjunct who can testify to what is happening to/at higher ed. Unless something quite serious is done, and done soon, the American university will be over. Done. Finished.
I offer two links. First, B. Ginsberg book on how universities came to abandon their faculty in favor of administrators: http://www.amazon.com/The-Fall-Faculty-All-Administrative-University/dp/019978244X
And second, a book which references the plight of Gen-Y folk in general, Tristan Gans' Stranieri: Life among Italy's Tourists, Expats, and Immigrants (don't be fooled by the name): http://www.amazon.com/Stranieri-Italys-Tourists-Immigrants-ebook/dp/B008SS74BY
In the interest of full disclosure, I am connected to Belfort and Bastion, the company that published Gans ebook.
Everything I learned about backpacking, I learned from Rick Steves. I advise watching some of his shows as well as picking up his starter book.
I'm currently reading A Game of Thrones, the first in the A Song of Ice and Fire series. Big fan of the tv show, books are good but I'm finding them hard to read because I already know the plotlines. You ALL still have Zoidberg!
Wish
Watch Rick Steves. Buy his guidebooks.

I personally didn't enjoy any of the Rick Steve's travel guides, the guys a bit of a snob and seems to turn his nose up to anything remotely fun.
Try Lonely Planet's 'Europe on a Shoestring' instead, this thing was like a fucking bible when i was eurail'ing it.

I that case you might be interested in the following books:

I have been travelling in Europe for half a year, collecting various trix to use for travelling cheap. I've put this into a story, packed with nice information. An ebook to download. It is free until 4th February!
Get it here,

All the best!
My thought is, why take a guided tour of Spain? It's much more fun and cheaper to do it yourself.
Read this if you haven't already. It will change your life.
Thanks. I'm thinking of getting this one but I also want to get each of his books for each place i'll be visiting, although id feel real silly carrying around 4-5 different guide books.
I highly suggest reading this:

This was our bible when the husband and I went backpacking through (Western) Europe for 5 weeks. We started out in Barcelona, then Cannes, rented a car and drove around the mountains in Southern France, dropped the rental off at St. Tropez, took the train to Nice, Venice, Interlaken (Switzerland), took a gondola up to Gimmelwald (stayed at an awesome hostel there), continued to Zurich, then Munich, then Lingen (to visit with the husband's relatives), Amsterdam, Loire Valley, Paris, and then London.
And yes, definitely get a Eurail pass and take advantage of staying in hostels.
I just picked up this book "Gluten Free Guide to France" for my upcoming trip to paris. It's got lists of restaurants in paris and all of france that can accommodate GF requests. It also has a section with detailed translations of how to ask about GF options.
The Paris section is really quite large, and it was updated in 2013.
Off the Map was highly influential for me as well. It's raw and poetic, the characters flawed and loveable. But the story isn't about them, it's about their journey and the wanderlust that drove them. They searched out squats, collectives, WWOOF farms, and ditches for shelter. I remember the book being incredible in a totally believable way. I have a kindle-version-only rule in my van but would make an exception for this book.
And another thing - don't bring a guide book. Download the kindle app on your phone, and bam you are off to the races. I'm all about the weight saving...
Here is the book I've used both times. There is a more popular book that ~75% of Americans use but that one will ultimately just keep you on the exact same schedule as 90% of pilgrims. The problem with that is that you'll have difficult days getting a bed since you're competing with everyone. Hitting some of the smaller towns means less competition.
And know that when your signal drops out on your phone, the GPS will still work. So if you download the offline map of route ahead (say night before or that morning), you can easily see where you are when you get a bit turned around.
If you wanna use taxi it is better to download an App called BEAT. Much more easier to call a cub and pay with your CC. Uber also works and it is cheaper after midnight comparin to taxi as there is no double tarrif in UBER.If you wanna stay in northen side by the sea i would recommend Faliro as it verry close to the center as well. Bus B2 will take you straight to Syntagma in about 20 minutes from Faliro. If you wanna get around the center you can also see those two resources :
ricksteves forum
You In Athens Guide.
I would also recommend
athenswalkingtours.gr as a service during your stay!
I would highly recommend getting a book called Europe on a Shoestring. It has places to stay, eat, etc. cheaply.
I also recommend that you take with you an extension lead with lots of sockets. That way, if you only have the one plug adapter, you can still charge up several things like your phone or camera.
There is a guide written by some friends of mine - https://www.amazon.com/Timișoara-Step-Cristian-Chis-ebook/dp/B07JLL7GRW/ that can help in finding the history behind locations in Timisoara.
Well no more excuses then!
Off the Map is a good read for travelers: http://www.amazon.com/Off-The-Map-Hib/dp/0970910134
