Itinerary Check for 12 Day Solo Trip?

Hey all – 24M here, I went forward with booking for **the end of April, to May**. I drew up a rough itinerary – there’s some blank spaces as I’m trying to figure out how to fill it out more, so I’m open to any suggestions!

​

I’m looking for fun experiences, beautiful sights and most of all meeting great people – so planning on doing a hostel. Only dilemma with that is I was curious…should I book a hostel only a few days, then maybe a hotel the rest of the trip in each respective location? I heard you can easily fall into a crowd in a hostel, so even though I wanted to lock in a place to stay ahead of time, I also didn’t wanna potentially close myself off from experiences.
