Planning on traveling around Europe when I turn 20 in spring,

I know this board moves pretty danm slow, but could someone give me any advice on this?

Stay at hostels and take cheap transportation, such as buses. If i were you i would go east, i would hit poland, krakow particularly. The baltic coast and the balkan countries are also a good option. These nations are cheaper and your gonna get your wallet all sorts of fucked up in Western European nations. Try croatia hit bulgaria, you will make your money go a lot further and be able to step out of your comfort zone.

The easiest way to travel, imo, is to make friends around the world. You get people who speak the native language, and show you cool shit for free, and you probably won't have to pay to crash there, just be ready to do the same for them. Seriously the Internet connects you to millions of people, how hard can it be to say hi?

Are there any specific sites that you have in mind?

If you're concerned about money, don't go to both NY and Europe in one trip.

Other than that, I agree with the guys above me, go to southern/eastern europe.

Well I was hoping to go see a lot of western Europe but by the looks of what people are saying eastern is the way to go.
I'd still like to see western Europe tho anywhere really, I think itd be a great place to see
As for NY I want to visit a friend who's located in Brooklyn

Actually I wanted to see more of northern Europe than than western

Brooklyn is really cool, I'm glad you're checking that out instead of just the typical tourist stuff.

New York isn't very expensive. Most of Manhattan is very expensive, but few New Yorkers actually deal with that. Also
>going to NY at 20
maybe wait until 21?

New York rents are very high in general, even the "hood" parts aren't affordable anymore.

But it's not expensive besides the cost of housing.

I meant websites where you can get to know people from other countries. I just now realised that it wasn't very clear.

Well I don't know about any websites, interested in what they have to offer tho if you can recommend any

No, I can't but the comment I originally quoted said that you can make friends on the internet and then perhaps visit them and vice versa.
