How do you travel to Europe without any money?! Be super thrifty and apply for a government subsidy to attend a comics festival, and you can also visit your girlfriend while she’s studying in Spain, you’ll get a free tour guide and it’ll be really romantic. You’ll have a leisurely 90-day trip to Europe, it’ll be like heaven on earth.…
Mickeyman was shocked to find that his plans were just no match for change. First, he got a message: “We can’t go back! I’m sorry, can we break up?”, followed by a form rejection letter from the government: “We regret to inform you that your subsidy application has been declined.” But he didn’t turn back (he’d already bought the plane tickets), instead he set out on a journey from Taiwan to Spain and France, where he found all kinds of humor in his frugal, tragedy-laden travels.
Mickeyman’s vivid illustration style and hilarious words faithfully recount the highs and lows of his self-help travels in Europe.
