Route: Rome → Tuscany → Liguria → French Riviera → Verdon Gorge → Pyrenees → San Sebastián → Bordeaux → Paris → Bruges → Amsterdam → Cologne → Bavaria → Dolomites → Venice → San Marino → Umbria → Rome
✅ Current month (May) is in this region's prime season. France/Italy/Spain/Greece: May-Jun & Sep-Oct ideal. Jul-Aug 35°C+ + tourist crowds + August closures.
This is the ultimate pre-semester vibe. Since you're starting at JCU in Rome, we’re doing a massive counter-clockwise loop through the Alps, the Atlantic coast, and the Mediterranean. It’s built for a camper van—lots of nature, surf spots, and cool cities where you can park on the outskirts and dive into the social scene.
