Given the almost unbeliveable long list of places to visit ... Perhaps
getting a eurail pass would fit the bill? It may sound a bit steep to
pay over 600 Euro for a month, but note that the (cheapest) bus fare
from Stockholm to Copenhagen alone will set you back at least 60 Euro.

Ryan Air (and others) sometimes have insane prices. I managed to get a
flight to Rome for less than 30 Euro :-D

Dormitory (or better) at around 20 Euro/person should be available
almost everywhere. Most backpackers are still in school or at
university.

To give you some idea, try a hostel booking site like:
