I have a friend in Switzerland that i can stay with free of charge. Can use that as my base. As i can stay in Switzerland free of charge, ideally like to stay there for 3 months or so. This is an issue as Switzerland is now part of the Schengen group. So therefore i can only stay in most of Europe for 3 months within a 6 month period. Countries i really want to see on my travels are Italy, Greece, Spain, Germany, France, Switzerland and everything in between. Ive heard its difficult to get a Swiss Visa. Is there a visa i can apply for which will allow me to stay in Europe for 7 months.</p></blockquote><p></p>
