First time backpacking Europe. Any advice appreciated!
22 y/o Canadian guy here. So I'm leaving in a few weeks for Europe. It's my first time solo backpacking (& posting on Reddit!) and I was hoping to get some itinerary advice. I'll be there from Sept. 28th until Nov. 6th. Flying into London and out of Paris. Budget is around $4000 CAD. I was planning on buying a 7 or 10 day EURail pass, but with all the negative comments I've read about them on here I'm not too sure anymore. I have an Osprey Farpoint 55 M/L pack which I've read will not fit the carry on restrictions for budget Euro airlines.
I've already bought tickets to fly from London-Istanbul late on Oct. 1st, and then flying Istanbul-Vienna Oct. 6th. I know Istanbul is out of the way but it was a must see destination for me! After that I have a rough itinerary of:
-->Zagreb>Split>Budapest>Berlin>Amsterdam(Halloween)>Paris
Possibly a day or two in Dubrovnik and a few days in Krakow and/or Warsaw if time permits. I'm planning on utilizing overnight trains as much as possible to make use of the rail pass and save money on accommodation.
Am I trying to visit too many places? Would I be better off buying plane or train tickets as I go? Any general first time backpacking tips?
I'm also open to meeting up with any other /solotravelers that are going to be backpacking Europe throughout October! :)
Cheers!
