Barcelona to Florence: Provence & the Italian Riviera (Self-Launched)

A self-launched rail-and-hostel version of Explore!'s 12-day Barcelona–Provence–Italian Riviera group tour. You'll hit every stop on the original route — Barcelona, Carcassonne, Avignon, Nice, La Spezia, Cinque Terre, Pisa and Florence — using regional TER/SNCF trains, Spanish Renfe and Italian Trenitalia services instead of a private coach, staying in well-rated hostels and budget guesthouses instead of 3-star tour hotels, and booking walking tours, wine tastings and museum entries yourself via GetYourGuide, Klook or direct. Same experiences, no group markup — and the freedom to linger in the places you love. Costs are rough backpacker/budget-traveller estimates for one person sharing a dorm or budget double, excluding flights.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Eat the strangest thing on the menu every single day for a week and document the regret."
