I'm a little late on this buuuuut - def get a eurail pass, it's a great deal you can't pass up, make sure you fill them out in PEN - the guards on the train will take them from you if they're filled out in pencil and then kick you off the train.
I backpacked for 3 months, did most of my hostel booking at hostelworld.com a few days in advance. I didn't really plan much before I went over outside of my plane ticket. Unless you're traveling somewhere during a festival or a large sporting event, it was never an issue to to book a hostel last minute. (ps. don't stay at Brown's Hostel in Dublin, Ireland.... horrible!) If you need city-to-city suggestions - email me.
I had the most fun in Barcelona, Munich, Pamplona, Florence and Prague. If you're in Europe the first week of July try and make it to the running of the bulls - you'll never experience anything like it.
Buy a travelguide book, life saviors even if you just use them for necessary information and not for touristy things.
Other than that... I was in 16 different cities in Ireland, England, Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Czech, Greece, Austria, Switzerland, and Germany - if you have city suggestions from a traveler's perspective just email me :) have fun! I'm totally jealous!
- Thanks, I am trying not to overplan but i think I will definitely email you to chat!Rushmore
