Backpacking/cheap year of travel around Europe.

[dibbs]

Been very interested in travelling around Europe for a year or so. I have a fair amount of money so that's not a huge problem, but I'd prefer to keep it simple, myself and a friend or two basically travelling around as cheap as possible staying in hostiles or whatever.

Anyone have any experience with this? I don't even know where to start really or how to formulate a plan. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys.
