There is a "thing" college-aged folks sometimes do and that is to visit Europe and travel via backpacking. Or at least it's a thing here in the US, though it could just be a movie thing as I can't think of anyone I know who's actually done it.

Regardless, would your pup do such a thing, however it would translate into their canon? Would it appeal to them or would they just do it if their friends are doing it? Would they regret their choice and end up enjoying themselves? Would they walk and camp as much as they can or take trains and stay in hostels, inns, or motels?

YT would actually like to tour Italy. On her skateboard, if possible. Although I don't know what the current state of Italy (or other European countries) is in her canon - keep in mind that many nation-states in her world have pretty much fallen apart.

Sicily at least is implied to be a nice vacation spot, in spite of everything else going on.

Ahsoka most definitely would. She'd be up for roughing it or using what ever mass transit and hostels are available. Girl loves an adventure and thrives in them.

With Sabine, I get the feel she's a city gal, but I think she'd take the chance of the backpack trip pretty easily. If it included wilderness routes, she'd likely have to be with someone who chose it but would have a good time with it.

Sam is all over this and is very helpful. He'd be the best guy to have along and would prefer the walking and hiking in wilderness but would be just as into walking through towns and meeting people.

Selina could be up for doing this if someone else paid her way and they stuck to cities.

Rollo does this with his pals at least once a year, though it tends to end in mayhem for the towns they visit. ; p

Feuilly would have been all over this if he could have afforded to be out of work so long. He could have put together a pretty good itinerary staying with people he corresponded with around Europe, and he would have loved every minute.

Bossuet has knocked around France a fair amount, as cheaply as possible--mostly on other people's tabs, traveling as a guest, and enjoying whatever transport and accommodations there were. Private carriages and posh hotels? Lovely. The diligence and cheap inns? Also grand. Hitching a ride on a farm wagon? Delightful. Walking? Why not. I'd need to think a little harder about whether he's been outside of France much at all, but just going from Paris to Avignon in the 1820s/1830s was a pretty big trip.

Ursula has probably done a fair amount of this already. She loves backpacking and she's a fearless hitchhiker.

William Douglas hasn't gone any farther out of Scotland than just across the border to go bother English farms. He doesn't have any particular desire to do more than that. Eventually history/canon will make him go traveling and it's not a very good personal development.
