I just got back from six or so months of travel through Europe. I did it WAY cheap.

This site kicks ass and saved me a BUNDLE. I met up with 40+ people from it and didn't have to pay a thing for a place to sleep. Even better was that I met people I would have liked to have met either. Oh, and the site is free, too.
Also, if you're up for it, hitchhiking is easy in most of Europe. Check out
www.digihitch.com for more info. My second favorite way of travel was through a German based ridesharing board (
www.mitfahrgelegenheit.de). It's in German so use AltaVista's Babelfish translation until you figure it out (won't take long).
If you'd like to hear about my experiences you can check out my travelblog (
www.fliptophead.com). Feel free to email me if you have any other travel related questions like this, especially concerning Europe. All I do is travel now so it's fun to help out others who are doing it the same way.
