Welcome to the boards!
First trip? Just turned 20 years old? Me: slightly jealous. But then again I've done some pretty cool stuff in my 20s. But I digress...
A few main points:
1. Budget 3-4 days per city to get a feel for it
2. check for bedbugs ALWAYS
3. Remember to count train travel-time in your planning
4. Ice, red wine + coke = an awesome spanish drink
5. Budapest is the only city out of the Western European zone... there is tons of cool stuff in between, perhaps focus on Western Europe or include more Eastern Europe
That's it for now... where are you from and how long are you travelling for?
