12 Things To Do In Europe This Summer Because You're A Badass Hardcore Backpacker

Warning: Mineral water may cause diarrhea.

1. Tell people you're a "badass hardcore backpacker.”

Having the right mindset is crucial.

2. Mispronounce “bonjour” to no one in particular.

3. Stare at the change in your hand...

for a really long time.

4. Tell some girl at the hostel how you drove your motorcycle from Chicago to Texas last summer.

5. Even if you don't own a motorcycle.

6. Complain about the slow internet connection.

7. Enjoy many exciting new toilets.

8. Beware statues that look like people...

and vice versa.

9. Do NOT feed the pigeons.

10. Use the "lavanderia" and learn to play the concertina...

but not necessarily at the same time.

11. Start a USA chant.

Europeans love that.

12. Maybe just tell people you're from Canada.

...they put that maple leaf on everything.
