Hey, so I'm planning on going to Spain and Italy (And maybe France.) for around a month and I'm starting to plan the trip out. I'll most likely have way more questions and more in depth questions as I get farther along in planning the trip, but right now I want to know if $3,000 dollars will be enough for the trip? For airline tickets, food, trains/buses, everything. I plan to go to around 4-6 cities in both countries.
I also can't decide whether I want to go to France, too, or just stick with Spain and Italy. Will it be a lot cheaper just to go the two and also be better since it's only for a month?
Also any advise on trains vs. buses, or anything else you can think of. I'm 19 and this is going to be my first trip to Europe. I've done quite a bit of traveling with my parents in a few countries in Central America but this will be my first adventure by myself and I'm getting a little nervous thinking about planning it all.
Thank you!
1 month trip to Spain and Italy

Not enough money, particularly not if coming from overseas. Check www.kayak.com to get an idea of how much the plane tickets will cost. I would count on $50 for a room per night ($1500 for a month), and one still has to include food, European travel, tickets for museums, etc.
Wow, $50 a night just for a room? I was expecting less than that. Just to clarify, I'm planning to stay in hostels.
Nothing too fancy on this trip! Tickets for museums is one thing I need to think about, though.
Thanks!
