Make sure you get along with your friends very well, pick them well
•
Many, many books and a pack of cards for long journeys
•
Padlock for lockers in hostels, they aren't provided!
•
Sheets/sleeping bag aren't necessary, but a sleeping bag liner is a cheap, lightweight alternative
•
Don't bring many clothes, you'll regret carrying them. Take as small amount as you dare (I had 4 t shirts) and wash as regularly as you can in sinks in hostels (hence take the plug for sinks, not provided)
•
Always ask for help at the hostel's reception as soon as you arrive. They know all the places to visit for cheap/free
•
Make friends with people in the hostels, they will know the area and it will be nice to speak to someone new after only speaking with your group for a month
•
Even if not planning on anything much, always take a form of ID and our EHIC with you at all times. Luckily I had mine on me at a point when I banged my head and needed a hospital trip urgently without enough time to go back to the hostel to pick up my wallet
