Hello everybody!:)

My name is Viktor ,22 years old mechanical engineer student from Budapest.
I would liket to explore Europe with one of my fellow.We will starts our trip from Budapest .We are going to buy the ticket which is valid for a month.
The itinerary looks like:
Amsterdam (from 26 of June to 29)
Brugge (from 30 of to 2 of July )
Paris (from 3 of July to 5) just a guick musttakeaphotowithEIFFELTOWER and MONA LISA trip!::D
Pamplona -running of bulls ( from 6 to 8 )
Lisbon ( from 9 to 12)
Barcelona ( 13-16)
then shipping to Ibiza for 2 nights and then back to barcelona or Valencia which is cheaper or best to go on with our trip to Florence.
Florence (19-21) with The Cinque Terre
Rome ( 22-25) from here we would like to hitchhiking to Lake Bled and Croatia then back to Budapest.

Furthermore it would be great if we could spare money,so we decided to use couchsurfing!
If anyone can help and host us for a night ,we would be very gratefull.

Do you think that we can manage this plan and where could we fix our train connenctions:

Hi Viktor!

Your route looks good in principle; however there are a few things you should think about:

Pamplona is probably going to be really full during the running of the bulls and so are the trains. Try to get train reservation and accomodation early enough. ;)

From Spain to Italy is a really long journey; if you travel by train you have to calculate with two days travelling plus an overnight stop en route. An alternative would be the ferries from Barcelona to Livorno and Civitavecchia - if you want to go to Florence, Livorno would be better suited. I dont know about ferries from Ibiza or Valencia to Italy.

You might travel to Slovenia by train while your pass is still valid - this may be much more comfortable, quick and easy than to hitchhike.
Also, MAV sells quite cheap Fortuna tickets for the trip from Ljubljana to Budapest, you might think about that. In Slovenia you can travel with single tickets quite cheaply if needed.

You may find some city hosts here as well: [u]https://rail.cc/en/social-local-hosts[/u]

Thanks Flow for answering my guestions so guick.
I am interested in what time the interrailing is high recommended.Just to make it clear .For Example in Hungary we have the final exams at the middle of June ,and then we are free (neverending nights with friends an good parties one after the other ,everybody is hanging out so the city is full of life.)
We would like to catch that feeling ,so could you help us when the real summer start in the cities mentioned above.Or do not be silly these cities are always with full life.!?:P

Hi.
These cities are always full of live the time you will visit them - no worries. If you want to have party, ask the people of the hostel you stay for help. They usually know good places to party! :)
If you want to meet some more party people, do a pub crawl of something like this.
Have fun, Peter :)

As Peter said, the cities will be full in summer. However, for instance in France and Italy especially August is typically the month where most of the locals go on holiday themselves so you are mostly surrounded by tourists then, especially in cities such as Rome or Paris.
