Europe has many cultures. Every country is different, really different. How have you planned to travel around? How long have you planned to stay in a country? Where do you plan to stay in the winter?
So you want to be here for a few years. I suggest you get yourself a job or a place to study and an apartment. That's the most easiest way to stay here. Travelling here is really expensive if you buy your tickets in the wrong place. You have to learn french and german, because they don't speak english.
There are boat travels from Europe to US. One way costs about 6000$. And they don't take young people. We just had a story in the newspaper.
Being in Europe is not even close to a religious experience. People actually live here. Living is not any slower here than in America. If you want to experience something extreme, go to Finland. Actually I'd be happy to help you to get around in Finland and other parts of Europe. Just drop me a line. Btw, the boat is the cheapest way to get to Finland...
