not the group with the second golden voice of rock and roll, Steve Perry, but my journey through Europe. It hasn't happened yet, but hopefully by next summer I'll be walking through fields in Italy, the streets of London or somewhere in between.

I've been reading a lot of other people's travels, stories and tips of the road. I know many people here live or have been to Europe, and hopefully have some input on the following questions:

-What countries tend to have welcoming communities towards traveling students?
-How much of the population through Europe speak english? (as thats the only language i speak)
-How much does it cost for a student rail pass and how long do they last?
-Any other information you have is greatly appreciated. I'm sure I'll have many more questions between now and then.
