Chris Cook's Page

Welcome fellow Travelers! First things first, my name is Chris Cook and based on the fact that you are reading this you, like me and my team have a great fondness for traveling around Europe or are planning on going. Over the years I have traveled and lived throughout Europe and although I currently live in the US the noambit team and I return as often as possible. Since much of my early traveling was as a student working on Graduate Degrees I understand that usually the most inexpensive trips take the most planning but can bring the most rewards. At the same time, I am beginning to understand the…shall we say, “benefits” of traveling with a bit more money too spend. That being said my heart still lies with the budget traveling experience and this site, the articles and tours reflects that, while at the same time offers useful information to everyone.

My goal for this site is to share my experiences, tips and information on traveling Europe in the hopes that you can put together the trip you are looking forward too. If your already there, then I have posts that can guide you through the city or country you are in. We also offer some great audio tours that are just about the most inexpensive you’ll find. We do the research, write them, record them and hope you enjoy them on your MP3 player as you tour Europe. I do my best to cover planning for a trip, what to expect when you arrive, where to go, what to see, where to stay and what to avoid. Of course each person has their own ideal of what makes a good trip but at least you’ll know what worked for me and the others I have helped through the process.


Every trip is a learning experience and for me that is half the fun. In fact, a great deal of the enjoyment I get out of a trip actually starts with the planning. All in all I just love to travel and want to help you all have the trip of a lifetime. Perhaps some of you may tell me stories of the trips I’ve assisted with to help pass the time while I wait for my next Europe trip. If you have stories to share or advice to impart send us an email. We love to hear from other travelers!

Be aware that I may use your e-mailed questions and my response in the “Q&A” section. I will of course remove your name and e-mail address but if you still don’t like the idea of this just let me know in your letter and it won’t happen. Your suggestions are what helps me build a better site and offer material you want to see. Also, be sure to follow us on facebook and twitter for new updates, posts, contests and extra info about Europe and noambit.
