Hey guys, so I found out about this website through another site and I have to say that it is awesome! The amount and depth of information on here about other countries is just awesome. (After all knowledge itself is power right?). Anyways I've been looking at traveling Europe for the past couple years, and with just recently graduating I think I might take a trip. I was looking at being over there for anywhere from a month to 2 months. (More if necessary, but would like to keep it close to about two months.) Anyways I was really looking to learn the culture of another country, as well as...obviously experience some other things. (Giggity giggity!) I was looking at possibly hitting the following:

Ireland-Cork
UK-Derby, Hull, Oxford, London (but just for the day)
Brugges
Netherlands-Amsterdam/Haarlem
Denmark-Copenhagen
Sweden-Gothenberg, Stockholm, (Know another one but can't remember it)
Estonia/Latvia-Riga and Tallinn
Poland-Warsaw/Poznan
Czech Republic-Prague/Czesky Dunlov
Slovakia-?
Switzerland-Gimmelwald
Austria-Vienna
Spain-Barcelona/Sevilla/Tomatina Festival
Montenegro-Kotor
Germany-Berlin/Heidelberg/Munich
Bulgaria-Plovdiv/Sofia
Norway-Aleslund
Iceland-Reykjavik
Romania-Suceava/Bucharest/Cluj
Slovenia-?
Croatia-Zadar/?
Hungary-Budapest

(I can't remember all the smaller towns I was looking at, but will add later on)

I've already started doing some pipelining, and was looking to be traveling in late August to October. I will know people studying in Prague/Copenhagen/UK I can stay with, so I was thinking about hitting those places particularly in October after classes have already started up and they will be there (more so Copenhagen/Uk then Prague though).

If anyone has advice on things to do or not, or when to go or not go please let me know (Just been reading about places dead in September, as well as knowing students will be leaving for classes in October-etc.). Let me know guys, and hopefully if everything works out I'll be able to meet some guys from on here to do some damage! (Ps I'm half puerto rican/white, so I'm tan with dark hair and brown eyes for if that helps at all.) Im thinking Romania and Poland are both definite places to see though so far, and would like to maybe rent an apartment/flat for a week in 3 different places (possibly Romania, Poland, and Croatia) and then just mostly CS otherwise to save money and not exactly be too close to tourists (although that's gonna happen regardless, and there will probably be international travelers at Hostels I'd want to hook up with). As far as 'types' I like I dont really have one, just girls that look good and take care of themselves in general. The blond/blue eyed chicks would be damn fine, red headed eastern european chicks fine, dark haired romanians, big tittied Polish chicks, artsy chicks-whatever really. (Maybe I'll refine those after responses). Let me know guys and much thanks!

My advise would be go but don't have an itinerary just go with the flow and see where you end up, had a blast doing this in The Balkans a few years ago.

"Railing" around Europe is an airball.

Back when I was younger this is what the clueless did.

I would pick one or two spots (maybe three) and go all in.

"I will know people studying in Prague/Copenhagen/UK I can stay with"

Prague seems like an easy choice.

Never railing europe again! Flights all the way. It was cool to rail it the first time around to see the countryside's but now it's strictly business and right to the chase. I've been stopped in my tracks by the Belgian transport authority and French transport authority bullshit random union-strikes on two occasions, causing a massive headache each time.

Train over flights any day for me. I'd rather spend 8hrs on a train travelling through the countryside, seeing a lot of the country, chatting to locals than hours in the airport queuing up and checking in and dealing with security and passport control. A nice leisurely train ride suits me much better.
