Most backpacker friendly places in Europe so im packing up and heading to London in a couple days with not much of a plan other than to see some cool places ive always wanted to visit, meet tons of people, do some crazy shit and generally have a great adventure.

Other than my first few days in London i have nothing planned, i was thinking of going to croatia for a bit and then making my way up to germany but im unsure that croatia has that backpacker feel about it (ive read there's not much in the way of hostels)

im really wanting that hostel to hostel nomad experience and to meet up with heaps of other backpackers and just wing my way around the continent

where's a good place to start and where are some good places to visit?

thanks guys :)
