I've done a search and read the various threads about it on here but I really want to know specifically about any trouble people have had whilst doing it.
I'm going in May through Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic and then ending up in Amsterdam.
I'm a female, and I'm travelling on my own. I'm determined to do it...I've booked my first hostels, got the rail pass, got everything else but I really want to hear first hand experience of any problems they ran into/things I should look out for just in case.
I have bought a couple of books but even books don't tell you everything!
Thanks for any input :thumb:

Post a reply after you've done it, let us know how it went! Im interested, anyway...
Best thing to do is learn some local phrases for the countries, like "Where is X" "How do I get to X", you might need them. Most of all: BE CAREFUL!
As it's been said, be really careful of anyone you meet on your travels, but you'll also meet a lot of good people who are ideal to travel with for a day or two.
Basic courtesy phrases are good to know for each country as well. A good way to get the pronounciation right before you try it out on the locals is to ask who ever's on the reception desk in your hostel, because they'll be willing to help.
That's all I can think of for now, so best of luck to you!
