Before you go

1. Bring a journal. This is a once-in-a-lifetime trip and you’ll want to document your travels to look back on it in the future.

2. Travel by train between cities. It’s one of the best ways to take in the European countrysides.

3. Map out your trip well before you leave. There are a lot of iconic things to see and you want to make sure you’ll have plenty of time.

4. Mix it up between hotels and hostels. Hotels are great, but hostels can save you money and offer quite the experience.

5. Pack plenty of different clothes. The climates from Dublin to Warsaw can change drastically.

6. Don’t forget backup batteries/chargers for your camera. You don’t want to only have pictures of the first half of your trip.
