I’m currently trying to plan a 2 month trip for next year in Europe. The original plan is to start out in Ireland for St. Patricks week and then (in no specific order) hit up England, Amsterdam, Germany, Switzerland or Austria, Italy and Czech Republic. Possibly France if there is time. Want to spend the most time in Italy. I know this is very broad and I havent narrowed down the specifics but we are going to fly by the seat of our pants for a majority of the trip. We are going to try and travel as cheap as we can, including hostels, and cheap food. We are even up for sleeping on a bench if we have to. We are both in our early 20’s and want to experience all that we can with the short time we have.

I was just wondering if anyone had any advice for me? Tips and tricks? Bus vs. train vs. plane? Best sites to see? Any recommended hostels? How to pack 2 months into a backpack? Estimated costs? Any information would be appreciated!
