Calling all European Backpacking pros! Will you please help me?
I am planning a trip to backpack through Europe with a friend. I need to know if this budget is correct and if it will be enough for one person. We are going to be there for 60 days and we both have ISIC cards.... PLEASE FEEL FREE TO MAKE SUGGESTIONS IF YOU SEE A BUDGET IS TOO HIGH OR TOO LOW! If you do, please tell me how I can improve. Thank you so much!

I think you need to budget a fair bit more for lodging. In europe I found i spend much more on hostels than I did on food, perhaps swap those 2 figure.
Accommodation, food and transport costs can vary greatly depending on which countries you are visiting. generally eastern europe is much cheaper than western europe.
If you wanted to get more accurate in your budgetting you should map out a rough itinerary, get a guidebook such as lonely plant and use that as a base for costs. To be safe I'd add on about 15% to the lonely planet prices as between their research is done and you read the guide prices would have gone up.
You also really should get travel insurance to cover you for emergency medical expenses, repatriation and possibly for lost or damaged luggage.
