#2Interesting how you're crisscrossing the continent using this route. I would definitely choose a more "intuitive" path, but I guess that the fares would be higher.

#3You can actually do something similar with an Interrail Pass [1]. It's a train ticket valid in all of Europe for 1 month for €407 if you're under 26 or €532 if you're older. Still, pretty cool!

A funny hack to save money on your accommodation with the Interrail pass is to use night trains for sleeping. Many interrailers might stay in Paris for a week, but every night they jump on a random train towards somewhere, sleep for 4 hours, then switch trains going back towards Paris, and sleep the way back.

US users probably don't know much about it but Interrail is one of the greatest things about being young European, together with the Erasmus student exchange program. Add the very low-cost airline ticket to the mix on a continent that is quite safe and peaceful place and you may start to understand why young people are much more positive towards the EU project than the previous generations.
EU is also planning to give Interrail tickets to to all young EU citizens, I hope it becomes a reality: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/interrail-pas...
Europe can be cheap as much as you want, hitchhiking and youth hostels are safe and available pretty much everywhere. You can even visit expensive cities like London for about 20$-30$ a day by sleeping in a hostel and and eating fast food(or even cheaper if you do groceries and cook in your hostel).
I really love what we have in Europe, it would be a huge tragedy if it all collapses back to the divided and hostile Europe.

Sadly, there are ever fewer sleepers left; a combination of low-cost flights and high-speed rail have essentially killed them.

#9travel is cheap but you should sleep somewhere and that's expensive.

Watch out for the sleepers further east (Bulgaria, Romania etc.). Great for thieves, not so great for sleepers.
