You can go to any country belonging to the Schengen free transit space with no control at the borders (blue countries on the map).

Thanks, Man. This is a GREAT help.

Do you happen to know anything regarding the european camping laws?
Is it possible to pitch a tent, say, a few miles from a city in woodland?

No. You have to use designated areas for camping or it is considered vagrancy. See http://www.camping.info
Of course you can try your luck, just don't get caught.

In some countries, we have this thing called Freedom
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_to_roam
>Today these rights underpin opportunities for outdoor recreation in several of the Nordic countries, providing the opportunity to hike across or camp on another's land (e.g. in Sweden for one or two nights, or "temporarily"), boating on somebody else's waters, and to pick wildflowers, mushrooms and berries. However — with the rights come responsibilities; that is, an obligation neither to harm, disturb, litter, nor to damage wildlife or crops.
>In some countries, putting up a tent in the forest for one night is allowed, but not the use of a caravan. Access does not extend to built up or developed land (such as houses, gardens) and does not include commercial exploitation of the land.

Also, forget about campfires. They are illegal in Germany, and more then likely every other EU country.

Why you never hear about forest fires there, you know.

Yeah, the Gypsies kinda got that market covered.

But yes, there is always demand for unskilled, illiterate labor during harvest time. The German Spargal season is a good example. Germans love them some spargel. to drink with their dark beer and zero-water intake.

But yeah, alot of Africans and general illiterate Swedes do this type of thing... I've only heard about it, but just ask any local at a bar, and they'll tell you when seasonal work is open, generally.

Forget about the tent! Just bring a really good sleeping bag and you can sleep almost anywhere. A tent will just weigh you down. You want to travel light weight.

As an american citizen (I assume that you are), you may stay 3 months in each EU country.

Forget about fires. During summertime they are outlawed in most countries because of the risk of a fire.

In Sweden you are allowed to camp for 24 hours on any property, except backyards, as long as you don't do any permanent harm to the nature and collect and bring all trash with you etc.

If you're tight on budget, go for hitch hiking. You can shoplift food and dumpster dive. Dumpster diving is by far not as good as in USA thou.

Get in touch with the squatters movement is protip.

Best tip is if you are an American get one of those Canadian flag sew on badges for your backpack and you'll find Europeans to be a lot more friendly then.
