I am going to be traveling throughout europe for about six weeks from mid-July to the end of august. Aside from the first week and a half, I have no set plans whatsoever. I have read here and in some travel books that it is essential to book hostels well in advance during the summer. Is this entirely true? How far in advance should it be done? I don't want to show up some place and not be able to find lodging.
btw Another reason I am hesitant to reserve hostels is because I have a friend who I am meeting in the south of france, but I won't be sure of the exact dates for about another month, which is about a week before I leave for my trip.
