I love travelling to Europe, so I don't really know where to start! First of all, I've never been backpacking, so I can't give you any really good advice there...except maybe that if you stay in hostels it's cheaper than hotels, and if you go to Paris you had better know a little bit of French at least. People there can be a bit rude. Beware of the throngs of Asian tourists. The Germans are very nice, and the Swiss are nicer and have a very beautiful country! People in Holland are pretty nice, too, and they seem sort of laid-back. The continent is fine and dandy, but don't forget the United Kingdom and Ireland, though...just because they speak the same language (sort of) that we do, that doesn't mean it's less interesting. Those are definitely my favorite places of all. London can be a little expensive, but it's very nice (especially for shopping...forget Paris and Milan!). Try to get out and see the countryside a bit--it's absolutely beautiful and there's lots and lots of stuff to see. If I were you, I would try to arrange to stay with a European family because it's sooooooo much easier to get the "cultural experience" that way, unless you just want to sight-see.
