    You have to check out the Balkans!! Your money will go sooo much further, especially in Albania. Hostels can be around $10 with breakfast. Quick meals $1-3. Sit-down restaurants $5-10. Buses between cities $3-4 (Albanians are also super hospitable and hitchhiking is very common). I backpacked Europe for a few months and had the same financial dilemma with my plane ticket. I came back for family, but you should definitely extend your trip. I promise it's worth it. Depending on where you travel, it can be cheaper to backpack over there AND spend a thousand on a new plane ticket compared to gas/rent/food prices in America. Try to find the cheapest flight from anywhere in Europe back to the US and then book a budget airline/train/bus for the connection from your last destination.

    i've done something similar last year, only i was on my own, i flew to Vienna from Istanbul without any kind of a plan, no reservations for hotels, no return ticket or anything. it was summer so i slept in the parks, banks or wherever i could find lol. one day i was walking somewhere around the central train station and suddenly i was like why dont i go see Prague, went to the station and bought the first ticket to Prague, even though it was summer, the nights were a bit cold there but anyway it was still fun, only if there werent those addict pickpocket guys all around the station.. i almost got robbed lol but it was an experience, not happening again. bought a ticket to Berlin, got off the train in Dresden with a last minute decision, later went on. you dont have to stick to a plan this way, the plan has to stick to you. as someone who hates monotony, i felt the freest i have ever felt those days. it was like getting out of matrix, gonna do the same this summer
