Favorite Country: Ireland (you can't beat friendly people, pubs full of live music, green hills, and zero creeps)
Best Food: gyros and bakery goods in Santorini, pizza in Naples, and paella in Barcelona
Cheapest Place: Santorini (cheap food and cheap lodging, you could eat and sleep for about 20 euro a day)
Most Expensive Place: Paris (Versailles was 35 euro which is about $53)
Best Hostels: The Green Man in London, Farmhouse Hostel in Perugia, and River Aille in Doolin
Worst Hostel: The Mona Lisa in Rome (we didn't have any horror stories like a lot of the people we met but this place was basically an apartment with only two regular (house-style not separate stalls or showers) bathrooms for 30-40 people)
Nicest People:the Irish
Creepiest Individuals: French man in London who gave me a piece of fruit and then acted completely insane, Barcelona flasher
Dirtiest City: Naples
Cleanest City: Amsterdam
Most Encountered Travelers: Australians (seriously, everyone in Europe is Australian. In a few years, all the whole European Union will be run by Australians and thanks to me you can be like, "Yeah, I knew that was going to happen")
Best City: Madrid (so pretty, so much to do, such friendly people)
Worst City: Milan
Best Walking Tour: Madrid (he knew so many fun stories) and Dublin (that kid knew everything!)
Best Architecture: Barcelona (you can't beat Gaudi)
Most Fun Inter-City Trip: Bari to Patras (the whole trip, Sorrento-Athens, took 30 hours but the ferry ride itself was fun thanks to good weather and some new friends)
Worst Experience: having my backpack taken by the world's worst thief
Best Experience: impossible to pick but all the best moments involved the people we met and a lot of them involved food (picnic in Paris, cooking class with Amy and Dan in Barcelona, playing poker with our friends in Perugia)
