I am flying into Dublin late March 09 and, if possible, would like to trek my way to Geilenkirchen, Germany. 'Yes' flying is an inexpensive option, however, I would like the adventure of ground travel if it is reasonable; especially during this time of year.

My funds are extremely limited... so I prefer to camp outside, use couchsurfing.com, or, if necessary, visit an occasional hostel.

Please let me know if you have any route suggestions, or ideas regarding places to stay, eat, use of the internet, or bathe.

If you feel transportation is wise... what departure, and destination, points do you suggest? And, what would you estimate the cost?

May the New Year renew your sense of bliss~
