Anyone in [insert city here]?

[ggambett]

Hi guys,

As I explained in a previous email, I'm travelling around the world with a group of students of architecture. I'm currently in Shanghai, and I'll be travelling until november, mostly throughout europe. As you can see in the schedule below, it's an extremely fast-paced trip, but I'd still love to meet the local indies and have a drink, if time permits!

Now a shameless beg for help - being a student trip, we're on a very tight budget, and we haven't booked hostels in most of these places, so a couch (for me) or three (me, my friend and his girlfriend) would be extremely welcome. We don't even need a couch, just somewhere to throw our sleeping bags, or even a spot in your garden to assemble our tents. We'll be travelling in a van so anywhere within reasonable distance of these cities would work.

i might be able to do something. PM me

yummy. It's absolutely lovely there in some places. (like 99% of your itinerary actually).

you may want to add some days for the Barcelona stay; it's an architect's dream there.

Greece isn't a city but a country :-).

Assumming Athens, i would love to have a drink with you :-). As for couches, unfortunatelly your schedule for Greece is too early because while i'm looking for a new home, i won't be settled in until August. However if i find something, i will PM you.

I know ;) This trip is so fast paced, Greece is actually a sort of holiday within the trip - so we'll just have some rest at some of the islands. We'll probably visit Athens but stay in some of the more touristy islands. We (the 7-people subgroup I'm travelling with, of about 200 in the whole group) haven't decided exactly where to go yet.
