Yes been 2 a lot of countries in Europe.
Was in the Army in the 1960's ( free love days)
. Bought a new little VW in 1964. When I would go on leave I would pay the guy that did the reports $1.00 per day, he wouldn't report me as being on leave so I got more than 30 days per year. Also got paid for the leave days I didn't take when I got out.
I might add I had on hell of a good time in Europe.
