So FOMTS you ‘re going to “backpack” through Europe – I do love your enthusiasm *wink*
The only logistics tip I can offer is to look at PDL, as I recall D2 mentioned JFK/PDL as a DL summer seasonal route.
What I can help you with is “backpacking” *wink*. Tips I’ve picked up from some enthusiasts that occasionally tag along with me on my “casual” hikes.
Check your phone plan/mobile hot spots - https://www.worldtimezone.com/gsm.html
Travel light - less clothes, more socks and wear great boots.
Travel by train
When in doubt, eat where you see kids (it means good cheap food)
Hostel with a kitchen
Line your backpack with a trash bag, carry an extra lock, a map and ‘some” duct tape
And most importantly when backpacking it isn’t about the miles, it’s the elevation gain.
*laughing*
