backpacked europe for 2 months-any questions

Hi all. I got back last week from a 2 month back packing trip through Europe. We mainly stayed in hostels and visited about 11 countries. If anyone has questions about hostels or traveling cheaply, just ask!

You should also post on Thorntree. There are more backpackers there. Here most people seem to like pricy hotels.

Shucks, there is nothing wrong with pricey hotels, if you can afford them.

One day I hope to get the chance to complain about the service at the Ritz or the Danielli, etc.

Hi quebec,

Any hostels to avoid or especially recommend? This may be a dumb question, but are the shared facilities co-ed? Did you need to bring a sleep sheet?
