Me and my buddy just booked a ~6 week euro trip and need some advice on filling in our plans

so far we fly from Calgary to Barcelona july 27-sept3, with a small trip down to bunol/valencia for la tomatina at the end of august. Were gonna spend a good chunk of time in Barcelona, and then were thinking madrid or porto, or even croatia. Any suggestions? Trying to keep Mediterranean.

You're going to have fun.

Barcelona>>>all the major cities in Europe imo. goat nightlife.

Mediterranean=goat lifestyle

Doing 7-9 weeks in SEA this summer after graduating with two buddies. Going Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, back to north Vietnam, Laos, possibly Myanmar, then finish in China with a visit to HK. It's ****ing up my job apps since companies want summer starts but **** it if its not worth it.

Anyone have any must do's or must see's?

Looking into itinerary for my trip in may to poland, berlin, prague, vienna, budapest and back to krakow in poland. My sister is telling me to book all my hostels in advance to stay in the best ones, whereas I was just going to kind of go and see what happens. Any advice on this brahs? Looks like there is some unreal hostels that book up pretty fast.

I'd google around to see when peak seasons hit those cities. Most of the time you don't have to book ahead, but in popular cities it helps a ton for the badass hostels. If it's in the off season, you can usually just show up, or book a few days in advance to be safe.

Bumping this thread for new folks.


Just wrapped up ~6 weeks in the Nordics/Scandinavia, which was incredible.
